We had a big Saturday. My first visit to Alpine Valley in two years (to see Jimmy Buffett. This was added after the initial posting becuase Will brought it to my attention that I really just talked about food the whole time and never mentioned Jimmy. Am I addicted to food? I thought music was one of my passions but I guess food eating food trumps it). We headed to Alpine around one in the afternoon and met J’s former boss Gina, her husband Bob and some of their friends in Mukwonago. From there we followed them to Alpine and set up shop. We had a huge carport tent and tons of food and drink for the day. Nothing beats tailgating and the people watching in the parking lot of Alpine. We spent the afternoon wandering the lot people watching and partying at our own camp. I made some teriyaki shrimp and picked at numerous salads that had been laid out. Right before we went in I met up with Silly Billy and we headed into the show with him and Stephanie. We lost them somewhere so J and I watched the show from the railings by the pavilion. The show was awesome as usual and flew by. After the show we headed to the car and grilled up a late night snack. J drove us home and we arrived safely but completely exhausted from the fun of the day.

Sunday we headed out to J’s old employer, the Sports Dock, for a going away party for one of the long time regulars. Gina was working and Bob was also there so we talked about the craziness of the previous night. We had some great BBQ pork sandwiches that they were serving. Once filled up I smoked a cigar with Bob and we all made fun of the locals. After my last puff on the cigar we headed home to relax for the little bit of weekend we had left.
