So, music festival was fine. Blues were ok, later music was better, but not so Bluesy.
Crowd was friendly, small, older. Beer was tasty, cheap. I had Black Butte Porter, which is high on my list of alternatives when Guinness isn't available.
Had some BBQ pork, ribs, beans and coleslaw. Mmm.
It was hot. Didn't feel too bad in the shade at the park. (I'd walked down, anticipating beer.)
However, when I left, I was fine until I left the shade. It was maybe a minute in that sun and I found a tree, called the hotel shuttle to come get me. Found out later it was 100 degrees out there. Couldn't tell in the shade except the bottle of cold water I bought was more than lukewarm before I finished it.
At least the soup was done.
Remember me talking baout how there'll be music next weekend, and I'll be leaving?
There's like, FOUR major music events on Saturday, including a free music fest in the park behind the hotel. Last year they had 70,000 people attend. The stage has been moved to almost right behind the hotel. This year has lots of headliners, including Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. In other events; Katy Perry (so what?) Steve Martin playing banjo!, and another bunch of people I've never heard of. All on Saturday.
Guess what day I'm planning on flying out of here? Hehehehe. It's almost tempting to use points and stay a night to see the concert, but I'd really rather be home.
