Jigglesfest is back at the lake front September 20th. That's one that takes me back. The original at the dome's was as close to woodstock as I think I've ever been.
Ahhhh, jigglesfest. Best picture of me in the yearbook from the year I graduated is of me in a tie-dye, about 20 feet from the stage, totally jamming out at the domes. Great day, great party, still remember some of it. Tragically, today, jigglesfest takes on a whole different meaning with me, but thems the breaks.
Wow, remember that vividly. Too funny. Massive pasty white guys and girls trying to get some sun with plenty of beer around. Too much fun.
I never made it to Jigglesfest .. but my wife is beyond thrilled it is back. She's already planning to walk part of Als Run, then ditch mid-way, ditch our kids, and hit jiggles for the rest of the day.

What was the second best? I'm holding my breath!
Keep holding until I tell you.....

Wow, what memories!! Those were the days! My old age has set in, and I'm trying to remember the last name of my college roomates BF who was in a band. His first name was Dave, and he dated Ellen. If this is the same band, please let me know as I will try to figure out a way to watch. I saw so many of your shows while in college!
[beavis and butthead giggling]... Band chicks rule!!!
