events update

In case you've been wondering what to do with your time this summer:

This year's Woodchopper Jamboree will be held June 18-20, according to Mags at the Bear Trap. It's the 50th Anniversary of cutting wood and rodeoing and drinking and fighting. I'll be up in the Black Hills over that weekend, celebrating my grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary, so somebody should probably take my place and fill me in on all I miss.

I may also miss the 2010 Fire in the Sky, too, since the future of the event is up in the air (no pun intended). According to the Jubilee Days FB page, the event has been "cancelled for an indeterminate amount of time." An article in the Boomerang, however, suggests that the City will likely take over the fireworks part of the event. I wonder if Brock Finn's already got a gig lined up for the Fourth...

The website for Oyster Ridge Music Festival still looks like shit. Seriously, like shit. A hot steamy pile of it. But the line-up for this year looks amazing. I sampled a few of the bands who will be playing, and they sound great. Check out The Bridge's "Old White Lightning 95" or "Heavy Water" or Dangermuffin's "Ancient Wind" or Elephant Revival's "Forgiveness" or this vid of Fort Collins's Head for the Hills singing "Time to Spare." This year, Wyoming's largest free outdoor music festival will be July 30-August 1. Put it on your calendar. If I get brave you might see me in the Bandscramble.

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
