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

The crowd... pretty cloudy that night, but still pretty bright for nighttime!
