Day 2 of Country USA, we had one more comrade join us (Gina), and we saw Darius Rucker. Now, tease all you want about Hootie and the Blowfish, but Gina and I are loud and proud Hootie and the Blowfish fans...but mostly Darius Rucker fans I guess. His voice is awesome. How can you deny the awesomeness that is Hold My Hand?? You cannot. And let me tell you something, not only did he sing Hold My Hand, he also sang Only Wanna Be With You and Let Her Cry. Good...no GREAT....times.

Prior to Darius taking the stage a huge storm rolled through. No worries though - we just packed up our chairs and set them up under a tent. Got ourselves some refreshments and waited it out while we did a little more people watching. These get ups were our faves for sure. 2 guys matching head to toe....except the one on the right added a little pizzaz to his by wearing some white spandex under his cutoffs. Classy.

I have gotten yelled at 2 weeks in a row by a threesome of my nearest and dearest friends for not updating this here blog...and you know what they sort of have a point. It has been a month! This summer is going by so fast, it is kind of ridiculous. So let's take a look back to the end of June, shall we?

On Tuesday, June 22, Jon and I drove to Oshkosh to see the Zac Brown Band at Country USA! Yeeehaw! We met up with my brother in law and 2 of Jon's other friends there. They are old pros at these country festivals - they used to go every year to a different festival in Eau Claire - but it was a first for me. I was warned that I wouldnt be able to see the stage at all, which I definitely couldnt, but I also didn't mind. You see, you bring your own chairs to these festivals, so I was comfy cozy laid back in my own chair toe tappin to Toes and Chicken Fried the whole night instead of being in a tiny chair squished next to a stranger in a huge arena. Great people watching at these festivals too - never saw so many confederate flags in my life! I did not get the memo that the "uniform" for ladies at these events are bikini tops and cutoff shorts though! Geez. I felt so out of place.
