Hello all ye folks,
So much to report and only one brain and 10 fingers to do it with. First of all, Pearl Jam at Continental on June 3rd started off the summer concert goings in style. It was the last show of the tour, and they kicked ass. Over 3 hours worth. The setlist is below. But before I get to that, the tailgate was where the real party was. The bbq and beer was one thing. But I was not expecting some random dreadlocked guy to start freestyling while Jake played his guitar. Unfortunately I only have a picture (with a fuzzy close-up of part of finger as well) and no video.
I do have video though of a couple of my friends (Anthony and Mike) engaging in a pure battle of the titans. The challenge was originally simply who could chug 3 beers the fastest. But no, that would be too easy. And Anthony too unstoppable. Thus, enter the special ingredient: macaroni salad. About a pound's worth of a 3 pound container. According to the man himself and in his own words, "I don't even like macaroni salad." But it was a challenge, and after enough Molsen XXX's, it was a challenge worth taking. And so I give you: Macaroni Salad vs. Beer...
Although neither the macaroni salad or the beer was actually finished, Mike won by TKO. Anthony's hand shovel method was Fear Factor-worthy, but with much lower odds than $50,000 on the line, he called it quits. It made everyone else's day though.
