Awesome recap John! Sounds like a great show and I hope one of these times Sara and I will be able to meetup with you there. Man I'd love to hear that bootleg, awesome idea (I've heard of it before but never been to a show that has done it).
So was the girl from Vegas the same one that attempted to jump the stage and fall flat on her face? She needs a nickname.
And Micky and the Motor Cars: is Micky part of the Braun family?
Hope to hear about more camping trips in the future. Hopefully you'll score enough experience points that you can make it to level 2: campfire!

Thanks Jason.
No, it wasn't the same girl that fell on her face. Man, that was so funny and so well deserved. How 'bout we just call her FacePlant?
Micky Braun is the brother of Willy & Cody Braun from Reckless Kelly.
Campfire, yikes. I think Idaho as a whole would like it better if I stayed away from things lit on fire.

AWESOME story John. I know we saw your car in the parking lot some where over the weekend. We had a couple of Vegas girls in our group but I cant imagine it would be one of ours but you will have to check out my pics to be sure. I will post the link on Gallywinter when I am done editing!
PS if you are going to go again next year, you HAVE to go to the northgate fire pit, AND book your hotel now, much better than camping!

Nice blog, John! A couple of things: you need to plan to come up for the Street Dance on Thursday next year, book your hotel now, Gary Braun is also in the Motorcars and you need to buy everything Randy Rogers has ever sung!!!!! Period.
(we all share our pictures in the BBR thread on Galleywinter, check there in the next few days for links)

@CJ - even if the crazy girl from Vegas was with you guys, I won't hold it against ya. ;) As for camping, I gotta tell ya, it was a lot of fun. I can't say that I'm in a hurry to rent a hotel for next year, but we are definitely planning on going back.
@Seattlegal - Ya know, I knew Gary Braun was in MMC and totally spaced it when writing last night. As for Randy Rogers, I hear ya loud and clear. I'll be burning up some itunes credits downloading more of his stuff real soon!
Thank you both for stopping by the site! Let's meet up in Idaho for a beer (or several) next year! First round is on me!

Thanks John and Chris, that was one of the best road trips I have ever been on. Can't wait til we do it next year. But after everyone sees the photos and read this blog post they will all want to come with. We are going to need to take a tour bus to hold everyone... or at least a "short bus".
Cheers - Jake

Nice recap, J. Sounds like an awesome time! Most memorable for me was when you "watched Jake brush his teeth using Michelob Ultra to rinse." Classic. I'll remember that tip for the next time I go camping...
