Notes from the show

Every year during Memorial Day weekend, like many places around the country, you will find music and food festivals. The Annual Border Rider’s pig roast is one of the bigger ones in this area. Part motorcycle club/w-tshirt contest/Veteran’s sacred day/music fest/ drinking binge… year 32 of the festival this year was…well, something.

In the days and weeks to come, many pictures will be posted that probably tell the story better than this …at least not in a PG environment. Of course, that’s the problem the combination of digital cameras everywhere, Internet and social networks. Some pictures probably shouldn’t be posted… arrrrGGG!!!

Let’s just say, the Romans sure did know how to Orgy…and the Border Riders every year, does a pretty good recreation of such…..

Some Notable Quotes: (more or less)



My, my my…what’ in that “apple pie”?? Ever-clear? Not-So-Clear…says my mind…

Dale? Are you okay? Later: Chris? Are you okay?

If there are any husbands out there I p*ssed off…I am truly sorry….

And I do like shiny nipples…

I am not drunk…it’s too much sun…

How can there be no cheese? This is Wisconsin, right? Well, go milk a cow or something..
F**K, I am old!

Well, now I have seen everything. Everything! A maid’s costume??

Do you have any room for an old, chubby bastard who can’t play guitar…but continues to do so year after year?

You again? I thought you were dead. Don’t you ever go away?

Well, Dale. I officially have the sh*ts…

It’s not going to rain. We’re on a mission from G----- oh, sh*t…I just spilled my beer!

A twenty thousand dollar sound system, and you can’t turn up my guitar?

I’m just afraid they might run out of beer…

There won’t be mosquitoes for miles…

We need to play heavi-er stuff….not all this, “Mommy’s alright. Daddy’s alright sh*t.”

I was pretty sick before. But I had a couple of shots and then the beer. I’m feeling better now…

Don’t forget the healing power of brats!

And: What happens at Border Riders….STAYS at Border Riders.

Finally, on a serious note: An old friend by the name of Dave and I had a good conversation about his drive to the Wall Memorial in Washington, D.C. I told him I was planning a trip out East and was going to visit D.C. It was one of those really cool and perfect conversations, all the while pandemonium circled around.

He made me promise to visit the memorial and look for the Baraboo vets that were listed there. We talked about their sacrifice for our country. I promised him I'll pay my respects when I visit.
