Okay.. so I am a bog slacker.. LOL.. Sorry.. But.. The girls and I went to a really great concert Saturday night. It was Log Jam 2008 at the LaCrosse Loggers Stadium. We really had a great time. Here are the girls waiting for the concert to start.. LOL









First band was The Ditch Lillies. They were good. Not great, but good. I am not overly fond of those who take other peoples songs and poems and turn them into songs. Drives me nuts, but these ladies were really good. The bass player even had dreads.. LOL



Next up was Renowned Bluegrass singer Dale Ann Bradley. Now this gal can really sing.. WOW!!

Dale Ann has once again been nominated for the Female Vocalist of the Year award. The 2008 IBMA awards show will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2008, at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN.



So.. Last but not least. Michael Martin Murphey.. Yep.. You got it. Carolina in the pines was the final song and my absolute favorite next to Wildfire of course.. LOL He sang both and Macky was thrilled.. My pictures didn't turn out very well for his part becasue it was sark and Pauls camera stinks for taking night pictures.. LOL But here is what I got..





After the concert, we went to say hi to Murph. He was thrilled that we made it. He called at the beginning of the week to ask if we could make it to the concert. Of course after finding out about it, there was no way Macky was going to let me skip it.. LOL So.. Here are Macky (redhead), Katie and Murph..





All in all it was a great night. Even though the gnats were horrible and we got soaked in the rain.. LOL We still had a great time.

It is raining!! Gash darn raining!! ARG!! DOUBLE FRACK!! SPIT SPIT!!! I am sooooo stinking P'Oed right now!!! STOMPING MY FEET.. ohh... I am just so mad.. It just has to rain today... My friggin concert is tonight and now everything is going to be soaked, muddy and if it stops raining it is going to be muggy... I have been waiting all summer for this concert.. Steve Miller is one of my favorites.. VIP tickets, VIP tent with free food and beer, and front row sitting... GOSH DARNIT!!! Why the heck does my parade always get rained on?? ARGGGGGGGG!!!!!

Okay I have a plan.... I am going to insist that they put up a bubble over Constitution Park.. Get a ton of dryers out there and get the ground dry (at least my spot), and have it ready by 4pm. LOL!! I know, I know... but it was a thought.. LOL Don't think the govm't would actually do that just for me, but would have been great.. LOL

2 years ago when Journey was there, it rained the day before the concert. Big trenches were dug in the park by the tires of every vehicle they had out there setting up. It was awful. Funny to see the drunks fall, but not really cool.

Thankfully it is set up already from the Quiet Riot concert out there on Thursday night.. Slaughter sucked. Vince Neil didn't even sing his own songs, he did all the old group songs. Kind of upsetting.. Firehouse ROCKED!!! And holy crap did they all look old.. LOL Not saying alot for myself now.. LOL If they are getting old, then I must be too..

But.. back to the rain. It is really down-pouring right now. WOW!! Just looked at NOAA and the forcast til Tuesday is RAIN!! I love rain.. I really do... BUT NOT ON CONCERT NIGHT!!!! Oh.. Frack!!! I am going to go do laundry now and pout!!

Hope you all are having a good day so far... Cross your fingers this clears up for me.. Please....
