For those of you who don't know, last weekend was the summer solstice weekend. The summer solstice (longest day of the year and beginning of summer) was on Sunday. It's a big deal in Fairbanks because we reach 24 hrs of daylight. It's pretty cool.... much better than dark all of the time like in the winter here.
Every year Fairbanks has a big festival downtown, the "Midnight Sun Run", Midnight baseball game, and usually the local radio station hosts a big name band. This year, Puddle of Mudd came. We're not huge fans, but it's something to do. We went to the concert on Friday and got soaked from all the rain while waiting in line to get in. There were literally puddles of mud everywhere.... hehe! (that was sort of the ongoing joke that night) Sunday was the festival downtown, and it basically consists of food, crafts, and games. We, of course, forgot the memory card for the camera that day, but below are some pics from the concert. Keep in mind the pics were taken in the middle of the night!
Waiting on the band to begin... had to get as many beers as we could so we didn't spend 1 1/2 hrs in the beer line like last year
Puddle of Mudd
The crowd... pretty cloudy that night, but still pretty bright for nighttime!

The heat index here is 101 degrees. Seeing you guys in long pants and jackets made me LOL.
You guys must be desperate for entertainment to put up with all that muck just to see Puddle of Mud. I hope there aren't any super fans reading this blog, because I'm not sure I'd go around the corner to see such a mediocre band.
I have to say, I am SUPER jealous of your adorable little Maverick.
SLAM,

Funny thing I did have on capris and flip flops, but it was still cool enough to keep my jacket on for a couple hours. It was probably about 60 degrees... still pretty warm for us!
Yeah, like I said don't really care for Puddle of Mudd, but really there's not much to do here. Beer and an outside location... I'm there!
