Rockin' Out at Rockin' The Rivers




Well since the last time I checked in a lot has been going on. I got all moved in to my new house, went to Rockin’ the Rivers, and started Two a Days for football. To say the least it’s been very busy. I had my moving crew up here again along with a trailer and my moms Yukon full of stuff. It was such a hot day, but by late afternoon we had everything pretty well moved in and had even started unpacking. I didn’t actually stay here though until this last Thursday. Thursday night my roommate from last year came up and we hung out with some of our buddies. Rockin’ the Rivers was going on this weekend so Sean, Abby and I all drove down to Cardwell to see some concerts. Just as we saw the road construction signs, we drove over the hill to see the whole left side of the road covered with campers and tents. That night we saw Boston, Nazareth and STYX!!! The other bands were good, but Styx was great! Of course we stood by the fence for an hour and a half just to be in the very front. It was defiantly worth it. During the concert, two guys got pulled over the rail for fighting or something. It was pretty sweet. If you are expecting to get a good nights sleep, Rockin’ the Rivers is not the place for you! That night we stayed there, the people next to us were playing really loud music. After awhile the music stopped, but then the guitar playing started. It was as if our tent was on stage with a whole band playing around us. The zippers on the tent were shaking even. This off key guitar playing continued for a few more hours. The next day we drove back to butte to take Sean back, and then Abby and I went back to the concerts. This time we saw Bad Company, Fog Hat and EDDIE MONEY!!!! I really like Eddie Money too, so again we stood by the fence for an hour and a half just so we could have good spots. This concert was great too. Afterwards he was signing autographs so I bought a really sweet shirt, a CD and a picture of him and had him sign all of them! I wanted to get a good nights sleep that night since football was starting this week, so we drove back to butte at 1am. After the fun filled weekend, two a days started. I have never been so sore in my LIFE! In between practices I come back to my house and take a little snooze, but I guess its what ya gotta do. Only four more days of it and then we only have one practice a day. That’ll be nice. Well I better get ready for my next practice. I’ll get back to you in a few days on how the practices are going.
