So we made it back from Vermont and had a great weekend up there. Highlights include: Heifer Fest 2010 and Strolling of the Heifers in Brattleboro (although technically we missed it), free drinks at Weather Vane, shady motel that turned out to be pretty good, AJ sleeping with Holy Bible next to his head on partially deflated air mattress, Labatt Ice, Tony not having a seizure, Magic Hat brewery in Burlington (aka Girling), running into LVR HS grad Amanda Lotter, walking around Girling, rockin Radio Bean, Josh Finkelstein’s birthday, wanting to smash guitar and amp, free drinks again, the humble abode of brother Colin Butler, amazing Vermont Bacon, driving home through legit tornado. And also the monster pictured above!

This photo was taken at a stop light in watertown yesterday and is pretty disturbing. AJ yelled “This is preposterous!” out the window at this guy…great stuff. Brattleboro is a cool little town and the bar was cool too with a big stage. Turns out “Heifer Fest” is this weekend but we missed the “Strolling of the Heifers” where everyone walks their cow down the street. What a shame. We played two sets but were told that we were too loud so we had to adjust our volume. Fun time though – free beer! Off to Burlington in a bit, once we get our asses into gear. Yay!
