| Basilica Block Party GBS Style |
| Since we had not eaten anything except an ice cream cone since breakfast, Sunflower and I went off in search of food and drink. I was introduced to a Brat sandwich and a roasted corn � the Midwest equivalent of a Philly cheesesteak and soft pretzel. I had already been indoctrinated into the joys of Iowa Margaritas � don�t EVER have a Jumbo Margarita. OMG! It�s the first time I�ve been dizzy-drunk. See the results???? Poor Victor warned me that Diane was not a good chaperone for me. LOL! |

| Pat McGee Band |
 |
 |
| After relaxing with our Brats and Roasted Sweet Corns we went back to watch the Pat McGee Band for a bit. They were okay and there was quite a crowd there. We enjoyed listening and caught some of the prize beer coolers they were throwing out into the audience. I wasn�t too familiar with their songs so I couldn�t sing along. In between Pat McGee�s band and Five for Fighting we got some drinks and went back. We got spots toward the front and spent a humorous 20 minutes listening to the fans in front vie for who was a bigger fan. It was funny. |
| Five For Fighting |
| Well, turned out I really liked Five for Fighting. They were introduced as being named after a hockey penalty � five minutes for fighting. Boy, you learn something every day! I even recognized a couple songs from the radio. I could only stay for about 5 songs though because I was at my limit for standing. Being on my feet since 6 PM and standing except for about 30 minutes eating had taken its toll |
| I was unable to stand any longer and went back to the place where we ate while Sunflower finished out the concert there. If I had been able to stand I would have liked to go to see Shawn Mullins at the other stage. We saw him in Portland, Oregon when GBS opened for him 3 years ago. So I sat and waited for her and got introduced to Minneapolis mosquitos. I am no fan of theirs but they sure liked me! |
