T -1 and counting

The Hoedown only had about 30% of the people we had last year -- the weather was cold and drizzly. Still, the band was wonderful. If you are in the Pacific Northwest and need a wonderful band, check out James Higgins and the Muddy Boots Band. They played one set and the number of people coming by was just dwindling to a trickle so I talked with the manager of the bar about 100 feet from the event (the same person owns the field and the bar) and they said "Hell Yeah!" so after the band played their first set, we closed the kitchen and everyone moved indoors. Plan B was a lot better -- the chemistry inside was palpable. A great time was had by all and I overheard the bars music manager mention that they will be back again. Planning on getting up around 7AM and being on the road by 10AM. First night in Salt Lake City and then, to infinity and beyooooooonnnnndddddd Really looking forward to this trip -- I'll be bringing the laptop and will post from time to time.
