What a perfect day!

Man did we luck out yesterday. What a perfect day to have off and be at the state fair! Joe and I made it to some of our usual favorite food spots (Tom Thumb mini donuts, pronto pups, cheese curds and absolute favorite- the fudge puppy), but we missed some as well (guess that means we have to go again, right? ;)). We ran info his parents and uncle there and spent some time with them. I also ran into my friend Diana and her spouse as well (small world considering there are thousands and thousands of people there each day).

As for Brandi Carlile- what a concert! I already had her most recent CD, but found her first CD for sale there, as well as a live CD, so of course we had to get those as well. Man was the place packed. Even though her show did not start until 8:30, we went to find seats at 6:00 as they fill up fast. Good thing we did as it turned out to be standing room by the time she started. Joe was totally jammin when she cranked out a classic Johnny Cash song (one of his favorite artists). I have to say though that the best part was after the show. Some of the previous shows I have been to at the Leinie stage have had the artists come out and give autographs, so I thought I would see what the chances that Brandi might do that. Well, it paid off! We only had to wait about 15 minutes before she came out to sign items. We had all 3 of the CD's signed and had a chance to chat with her for a few minutes. All I can say is she was really cool!

I did get some pictures of the concert that I will post tomorrow (as I am at the library now and have no way to post at this time).

Until tomorrow, TTFN!!
