Brandon informed me on Friday of a free concert happening at Schofield Barracks on Saturday. With that, we packed up our gear and headed out around 2:00. Our first stop was at Maui Mike's fried chicken restaurant. Brandon made the ill-fated choice of selecting the chili BBQ sauce. I think it's safe to assume that it will burn just as much on it's way out as it did on it's way in....

Next we made our way to the concert. There were drunks and hicks aplenty. I got a little misty-eyed because I hadn't seen so many cowboy hats and carharts since being home.


I got pretty into the down-home country feeling that was going around, as can be seen here. The first girl that sang didn't really do much for me. Bowling For Soup sounded good but I was a little nauseous after their continual self-promotion as "the greatest rock band ever to play." Finally, Montgomery Gentry got up and the true redneck inside of me was released. Quite a good time was had by all, especially the guy in front of us who passed out after about a dozen drinks.
