Total Fest Day 1

When the ladies returned from the 'Jack...we found this little magic prize waiting for us! Merlin!

We also found Wendy...
...and Lou making Total Burgers and smelling their gloves!

Dennis (Total Fest BBQ and Make It Happen Guy) was tending the grill!

John Fleming showed up! Owner of EAR CANDY, the only awesome record store in Missoula, MT. John also plays bass for Secret Powers...Missoula newest must see band!

The first of three Total Fest BBQs.

Punkers and Pasta Salads.

Mandy corn.

Carrie and her high heeled earrings!

Post BBQ, we headed down to the Badlander for the first night of Total Fest!
Dennis introduced The Juveniles starring good ole Davey P on drums!

Dave's got Sasshole blood in him. Yes, I did just say that.


JV - the man, the mustache, the heart, soul, and father of Wantage USA and Total Fest!

Total Fez.

God Damn It Boy Howdy - Browning, MT boys bent on rocking.

Everyone loves a dog costume.



Mama Blabac manning the Dog Dick table...

Anna and Mandy had the door for their Total Fest shift...and boy did they make it look good!

FERD! Now you know what I'm talking about when I say Ferd.

Secret Powers!

The Blue Eyed Snake...

Punk Rock Anna - keeping it lovely!

Disgruntled Nation reunited after, seriously, 6 years! Dave shouted it out!

Brenticle did what he does so well! His teenage daughter was there to see her Pa in action!

And Matt - I love this guy! The talent drips off of him! RENAISSANCE MAN!

The Bad Dudes - LA, CA

So, technical, complicated, and amazing! Check them out. CHECK ALL THE BANDS OUT!

Finally, Punk Rock Jim showed up. Post work decompress!

Now, this is the point where shit got different!
Black Eyes & Neckties - Bellingham, WA...the Missoula sister city!

I've seen the brutes before and everytime they blow me away! High intensity...and they take it to the limit!

The guitar player that was rocking closest to me was all over the place - running, jumping, tearing shit up!


Then the lead singer started in!

Hot and sweaty!

Bloody!

Mandith, Carrie, and me in my super rad STREET CARNAGE t-shirt!

At the end of the set, the lead singer climbed up over our heads on top of the bathroom...


The guitar player started taking off his clothes...

Then the lead singer jumped down!

MAYHEM!

Nudity!

Oh...and a dislocated ankle!

I woke up the next morning to this sweet little fluter saying, "Uncle Becky, Uncle Becky, Uncle Becky"...

The Frank showed up with his Mama for mid-day sandwich hangs!

Carrie made the sandwiches and I laid on the couch and lamented two words: Vodka Collins.

Baby party!

Joey was deeply feeling me!

Uncle Jim showed up and had a free form jazz sesh with Merlin.
Blow Man Blow!

It was time for BBQ #2...
