Wisconsin welcomed us.
Just as we were settling into our road trip, discussing a possible Canada trip this summer, we hit River falls. It came up on us quick. After a short detour in the wrong direction due to some comfusing signage, or perhaps dawnmarie has been spending too much time with Nick, we drove through River Falls in search of the University.
Once we found the University, We ahd no idea where the concert was. We drove a bit, comteplated a DQ stop, and drove by a sign for the event. Dawnmarie pulled over and made co-worker Kristen run across the street to read the sign. While she was there, she took a photograph of it.
We sat down on the grass amongst the myriad of college students, feeling a bit old, until we looked to the left and saw a man who was easily 45 years old. The first band, The Tossers, was ok, not fantastic, but not as bad as the birthday incident.
Co-worker Kristen just wanted to take a picture of the guy introducing the comedian.
Eric O'Shea, comedian. He was ok, although if there hadn't been kids there, I'm' not sure he would have had any material.
C0-worker Kristen and her tongue.
My feet were cold. Kristen took a picture.
Mike Doughty and Scrap. There were three girls behind us, who REEKED of alcohol. And apparently, it was a mortal sin that we weren't dancing 30 seconds into the first song, so one of them put her arms around us and started moving us. Now, as most of you know, I've been sick lately, and weaving back and forth is not good for me. Another of the girls grabbed my butt, several times.We left a bit early, we stayed long enough to hear Madeline and Nine, but left shortly after that, because I was getting sick, we rolled back into town around 10:30, 11:00. Good times were had by all.

looks like it was a good time. glad i could help you guys get there!
I have seen Eric O'Shea...he is the Elmo guy right? I have one of his promotional shirts, and I won't lie, he is a little creepy. Just sayin'.
I don't consider Wisconsin a particularly welcome state. That sign is a total lie. "Welcome to my parlour," said the spider to the fly.
ike, yep, he's the elmo guy. and he kept just standing htere for like 30 seconds with nothing to say. He wasn't fantastic, although his advertising CD at the end was good.
dawnmarie, you should introduce your co-worker to spanish brian.
Well sure, can her husband meet him too?
Eric O'Shea is the Elmo guy? He must have really gone downhill in the past couple of years then, because I thought he was hilarious when he was at NDSU a few years ago.
I can't believe I called her ike and not smelly.
You snooze you lose. Well, I have snozzed and lost...
I wish Mike Doughty would come to Atlanta!
dude! you got TMBG though. i'd take them over mike doughty, probably.
Thanks for calling me Ike...though, from some people it just seems odd.
DOH !!
I don't know, but the Wisconsin girls sound pretty welcome. Friendly anyway. Grabbed your ass???
smelly, are you tired of being called smelly?
rocket, sorry dude, besides, what about Jess?
Carly, yes, grabbed my ass. weveral times.
weveral times huh?
I saw Eric O'Shea for 20 minutes at NACA when I was in CAB and I don't remember what I thought, but we didn't book him, so he must not have been anything to write home about. There was one comedian that had me laughing so hard I was hyperventilating. I think he came to MSU, do you remember what his name is?
