Summerfest PET
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 12:48 am
Every year, starting on the last Thursday of June, Milwaukee is host to Summerfest. Billed as, "The Worlds Largest Music Festival," Summerfest is 11 days of music, food, and alcohol. I'm sure Dins will say the U&L does it bigger and better. I do my best to avoid the Milwaukee lakefront around this time year, but this year Mrs. Cyphre got tickets for her and our two kids to see the Jonas Brothers. She wanted me along because she did not feel safe by herself and two kids, especially walking back to the car at around 11:00 pm. After some physical persuasion and hearing that I can get in for free if we get there before 3:00, I agree to tag along.
We parked at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The Calatrava:

First stop was for some fried food. t to b: Sour cream and chive fries, mozz sticks and white cheddar cheese curds. I probably won't shit for a week.

$5 beers from the Lakefront Brewery. l to r: IPA and Cattail Ale

Sorry about the from behind shot, but these two midgets caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting to see any so soon and didn't have my camera ready. The blond in the hat and her dyke partner to the left are a little tall for midgets but they are midgets none the less.

311 was playing on one of the free stages later that night

Get a hole in one on the island green, about 125 yards...

... and win a Buell 1125R

Some chick changing a tire on a race car. I think her time was 25 seconds. Enough to go from first to being one lap down.

Food stop number 2. Reuben rolls with mustard sauce

Food stop number 3. Fried pickle spears. No, they were not Stanley Pickles!

Unknown band. They were playing "Manic Depression" when I snapped this

l to r: Marcus Amplitheater where the wife and kids were and the Hoan Bridge, made famous in the car chase from the "Blues Brothers." I could hear all the screaming teenage girls in the Amplitheater from this spot.

Some conehead, I think he was from France

There were a lot of other pictures I wanted to take but its had to do it conspicuously with a SLR. I try to do a better PET when Harley Davidson has their 105th Anniversary party over Labor Day weekend.
