Last night my brother and I ventured out of town for the sweet corn festival in the neighboring big city. I'm not a fan of crowds and I really wish I could get over this. I don't know if it it the sheer number of people, how rude people in crowds seem to be, or the lack of my personal space that really gets me. I'll admit it did seem like a few less people than last year or at least the sweet corn line was way shorter. Last year we waited probably an hour in line to get some. This year I was able to walk right up thankfully. You get two ears of corn for a ticket ($1.00) and they are literally dripping with butter... YUM!
Our main purpose for trekking to the festival was to hear a band. You may remember previous posts when I talked about The Delta Kings. They were playing tonight on the main stage and the lead guitar player is my brothers guitar teacher. Since he isn't quite of age he can't get into any of the bars to hear them play (which is usually where they play). So when they happen to be playing elsewhere he usually wants to try and catch them.
The main attracting following The Delta Kings was Soul Asylum you may remember their early 90's hit "Runaway Train". I would have liked to have stayed for a bit to hear them but the little bro had finished his first full day at a new job he had to be up at gasp! 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday. Welcome to the real world bud! But we had fun, food, and corn on a Saturday night, what else can you ask for?
