Jason Watts, a Texan living in Minnesota, and who is one of my readers, has some cool tunes on myspace. He and Wesley Hale (hmm, that name is familiar) have a band called The Tonesters, of the techno genre. Be sure to read more about them and the other band members on the website.
There are two October shindigs that I've got some information about. The first is Hog Fest. In the last issue of the Rotan Advance / Roby Star, the Fisher County Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture meeting minutes stated that Mike Wilks informed the chamber he had contacted Rode Morrow and the Hogg Maulies, and they would be performing at the Hog Fest in October, along with Matt Martindale. He also stated Martindale had a website and the chamber should be hearing from him soon with a contract. Wilks stated the Hog Fest will be listed on his website.
Matt Martindale's myspace has October 13 marked as the play date for Hog Fest.
The second event is the White Buffalo Bikefest, which will be happening in Snyder, TX, October 5-7 this year. There will be a concert Saturday night featuring GRAND FUNK RAILROAD! Very Cool! I had contacted Lori Cleveland, the do'er for the Bikefest, early in March and she said that they had also signed the MotorDrome (which I'm thinking is a motorcycle daredevil show), the Globe of Death (with a team of ramp jumpers and a back flip guy), and Hooters with their hot wings wagon. I've talked to some folks who went last year and they said it was a lot of fun, especially if you bring your motor home and make a weekend of it.
Look for more news later this week, such as info from the RPQRR meeting on April 2 and some newspaper updates, and a few tips for cleaning up those computer files. We hope to see some sunshine tomorrow and to put away the firewood until next winter. Have a good work week!
