The headliner? The one, the only:
.
The band got itself ready . . .
. . . while the rest of Milford carried on, enjoying its festering self.
The black-eyed susans bloomed spontaneously . . .
. . . and the River Flip-Flop roared mightily.
All our peeps gathered on the Green on a gorgeous day. Not the Green. Fowler Field. There's memaking out with saying hi to Buzzie's friend Tyler. (Um Jennie? My hair needs a little love? Hello?) There's MB and Robin and Mike and Lisa, too.

It was a day when MB's world collided. Here's MB's high school friend Buzzie . . .
. . . And her NYC friend Robin.
Here's the back of Buzzy and Robin. And MB and me.
Here's MB's Mark and the newlywed Jen.
And here's MB's other boyfriend, Mr. Belly Man.
Cool Shirt Guy . . .
Oh, the peeps were out in full force that day . . .
There's Ruff . . .
Oh. And of course. Psycho Man. Notice the buzzard tatt on his right neck.
Jerry was in the house . . .

Foghat is a band for every generation.
And the ubiquitous New England ferris wheel . . .
It's a treat to have Mistah Schleckah along, taking arteestic photos . . .
They just carried on, like any self-respecting 80's iconic band would.
Z-Man showed up . . .
.
Foghat started playing, loudly, and all of a sudden,
It started pouring.
.
Fog! Hat! Fog! Hat!The peeps, they loooove the Foghat.
During the downpour, MB and a few friends walked home. Mark and a few friends walked to the bars. But Mistah Schleckah and I, and Buzzie and Tyler, we stayed right where we were, in Foghat Nation.

Come on! Did anyone turn up with a Guitar Hero Guitar?????
ReplyDeleteThat would have been totally awesome.
Milford and Foghat -- it doesn't get much better than that, does it, Ellie?
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the Z-Man, some litter, and you after the big sweep.
What a fun day! Mar's boyfriend belly man is H-O-T. Ellie, I just wish you would learn to have a good time and smile every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteAll that and beer too? Where's my GPS!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! I'm glad Psycho Man was there. It's good to see Jerry's back from the land of the dead.
ReplyDeleteWow, foghat. That takes me back. I don't see them on the tour schedule for around here though. You didn't happen to buy one of those hats that reads, 'Fog' while you were there did you? My parents never could figure out that hat.
ReplyDeleteI can't help wondering who Psychoman's target audience is.
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas State fair is coming up. Nothing makes me happier then going to one of the parks and people watching. The freaks come out in droves.
ReplyDeleteThat little shindig looked awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd FOGHAT?? Oh yeeeeaaah, "Slow Ride" is probably one of my most favorite songs of all time.
I so kicked ass on it with Guitar Hero!
Glad ya'll had a good time!
I have to tell you people. I have no tv. I have no wii. I have no Guitar Hero. what I *DO* have is the experience of having seen Foghat. Live. In person. Well, apparently they're all dead except the drummer. So what I *DO* have is having seen the Foghat DRUMMER. Live. In person.
ReplyDeleteI know!
Foghat. Drummer. Live. In person. Who needs a stinkin' TV? With enough beer, a live concert can look just like TV, I always say. Or, rather, someone has said. I think it was Walter Cronkite. Or it may have been Joan Baez. Or Steve Ray Vaughn. And it may have been tequila, not beer. And they could have been talking about movies, not TV.
ReplyDeleteHa! You peeps are funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must say. *I* never brought up beer. Those water bottles were full of margaritas, thank you very much.
Ellie
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Bossy, trying to send you a link for some Office/School supply HAHA's that I know you would enjoy, but can't locate your email address?!?!?!

I once got to see Steppenwolf. I can only imagine that Foghat would have been better and dancing in the rain to boot? I love the picture commentary! You're so comical.
