BIKES:

Let's just get into it right out of the gate. I simply love riding my bikes. Any style of riding. Just wanna ride and ride some more. Let's Ride 

We all understand the freedom and all that jazz but the attitude adjustment is exactly what I am addressing here at this time. A cornucopia of folks have dropped the ball , turned out to be completely useless , and an overall a disappointment to mankind. Where did this 'why bother' projection stem from ?? Why am I caught up in this flow again ?? Even when I Eddy Out , another fellow human drops the ball. Flipping People 

THANKFULLY , The Ride & Vibes Festival spilled out onto the downtown streets of GJ. And What A Hoot It Was !!! 

Live music on two separate stages filled the side streets of Main Street. Vendors from all over the nation set up EZ Ups for showcasing their goods and numerous food trucks fed the masses throughout the weekend. And the out-of-state plates were zooming around everywhere here in the valley. Tourist Stimulating The Local Economy 

Our tribe rocked the costumes scene for the 5:30 Community Crit Race and we happily made a spectacle of ourselves. We shouted HAPPY FRIDAY to everyone as we cruised around the course and then thanked all the volunteers during our last lap. Well Received 

And I am not going to complain until it is time to complain. We continued on with costume changes , reloading the ice chest with valuable supplies , adding a few more faces to the tribe , and enjoyed the out of town bands. All the local acts completely Sh*T the Bed and so embarrassed themselves. But the Cousin Curtiss Duo nailed it and you could genuinely notice how fired up they were. Needless to say , could have been a record crowd for their set. Maybe Yes , Maybe No  

BIG SWIG:

Over The Moon with this gig here below. Been in attendance for decades here at the brewery and always wondered what that would feel like to play a live show here. Well What Do You Know?? 

How did that happen?? We Big Swig have zero social media and you all know that I dumped CrackBook back in 2018. So we were playing a gig at the Saloon and a guy by the name of Matt walks up during our set break and says ,"I had to find out who the PHUC is this Big Swig that I have been hearing about." 

Talk about STOKED !!! Nate & John both understand were I am coming from for sure. I made it very clear that we do NOT need the hassle of a social media platform as we are a Palisade band that plays here in PALISADE. And here is this Matt guy wondering who we are!?!?! Most likely he still would have strolled on over but if our CrackBook page was unappealing , maybe not. Maybe Yes , Maybe No 

Matt explained that the Frontstrange bands have burned him on so many occasions and he is booking local bands these days. Or at least bands that will follow through. He was very impressed with our merch table and both the boys looked right at me. Classic 

And Yes , that is my doings there with the Fairy Houses & Rope Lights. Was quite the hit with the patrons milling about here at the Carboy Winery. I definitely thanked everyone for sending me these photos from this particular gig. Apparently , there is quite a buzz about this Sunday's show. We just played a "bonfire" gig and we were surprised by how many attendees were hip to the skip and had heard about this upcoming show. Way Cool
