The Summer of Joe leaves Champaign for a Spell
So for the last two weeks i was at the old tree farm and then went to ten thousand lakes festival in Minnesota. Thanks to our tree farm hosts once again and here's some pics from both. Some may even contain captions!
Hofmann's eyes were half closed or half open if you're an optimist for every picture i took of his over this weekend. I guess he likes to blink a lot or he's always giving me the stink...no evil eye.
I think this is my favorite pic that I took, but I'm no yishai. Good thing we got that extra beer!
Separated at birth?
I will smile if it's captured on my own camera. By the way Trini and myself have been trying to figure out all year how to lose face weight, I have a very fat one. Maybe I'll fast like on It's always sunny...
I kept wondering when you take that sign down because it starts to seem so bad that it has been so long
Lotta' jolly shirtless dudes with no girls around...It's like Lance Bass heaven.
Such a grand game of flippys even kelly cracks a smile. Uh oh, I mean all the girls are smiling and having a good time.
This begins the ten thousand lakes pics. This is the smallest venue where bands can play, Dad, this is where your buddy Matt and Backyard Tire Fire played the last set of day two.
An overview that doesn't even do justice to the magnitude of this festival.
On the right is Scooter, LT alum will know him and on the left is quite possibly the craziest mother fucker anyone will ever meet. A typical day for this guy, who's name we never totally got down because he was always slurring, its either Chad or Steve...I know big difference, but this was heavy slurring. Ok, here's what this guy did on day two. He got up at nine and started drinking hard liquor in this creepy tiny water bottle he always had with him. By about noon they start eating the pot rice krispie squares, then a couple hours later its time to eat the shrooms. He leaves to see a couple of shows after this, keep in mind he's drinking heavily this whole time. We catch up with him around three A.M. slurring like crazy telling us that he took six hits of liquid LSD, then went for a swim. When he came back he told us he found this guy with a nitrous tank and was holding six balloons all for himself...meanwhile the little water bottle full of booze was still in his hand. He got up the next day earlier than I did and started this all over again. The whole weekend he had on this white shirt, the picture is the exception, that had a big hole in the back of it. By the last day I think he was trying to fool everyone by turning it inside out, but the hole made it pretty obvious. If you see me, there's more stories about Chad/ Steve...just ask.
The Hulk Coozie.
This is the whole group I was with, minus the girls braiding eachother's hair in the forground.
Nice lighting on this pic eh? This is the only girl that was with us...Julia, she's 24/ single and lives very close to you Will, we can discuss this later if you're interested.
The main stage at sunset.
This guy had no shape to his body whatsoever, he looked like a pencil. Not only was this hilarious in itself, but this pencil danced like one of those balloon things that wave their arms around, and he did it for hours. I wasn't on any drugs and still found this extremely amusing.
Again, the main stage, I want to say this was O.A.R.
