What I Miss About Montana…
Well where do I start…
First of all, Liz is a local celeb out there. So, we played all the commercial radio station’s morning shows, and a couple of indie shows. Then we played 3 actual concerts in town. 2 of them had a huge group of people (aprox 150 in one case) that were not able to get in. When we return, we will be in a larger space.
While all that was wonderful, here are some real highlights:
• Hiked to the top of Mt. Sentinal
• Got an incredible down jacket from Mountain Hardwear that weighs less than a pound!!!
• Got a pair of Keens… don’t know them? go to http://www.keenfootwear.com/ and check out the Newports
• Found a great deal post-Christmas on poker chips, saved 70%
• Hung out in a club that serves “brains and eggs” which is in fact scrambled eggs and cow brains
• Got my ass kicked in basketball by Liz
• Learned that there is a Casino on every corner in Missoula, MT (played poker accordingly)
• Played poker one night in the smoky “OX” (same place as the brains n’ eggs)
• Saw someone from the game the next morning… he had a black eye and walked with a limp (I had been warned it was a rough game)
• Took three flights in one hellish day of travel to get home (there’s a first for everything)
There you have it. My trip in a nutshell.
