Mmmm, Summerefest!

I was trying to recall the first time I went to Summerfest. I know it was in the mid 80's. I do recall going to see INXS. My brother drove and brought a friend of his. I invited one of my friends. I guess we were all too cool to hang out together so we parted ways before the show.

I remember the wooden "planks" as I call them at the old main stage. They were a bit worn and most people would stand on them anyway. Of course there was always someone behind you yelling, "Sit down, we can't see." But when the music started they were usually up dancing too!

Unless my memory is completely shot that, show was cut short as there was a major downpour. We're talking flooding. Sure wish we had come up with a contingency plan for bad weather. My friend and I waited outside the car for my brother for an hour. Apparently my brother and his buddy took shelter under a beer tent!

I haven't talked to my friend in a long time. But I hope she has the same fond memories of that day at Summerfest as me. The excitement of getting to the park. Seeing all those people waiting for the show. Just being silly and then singing in the rain!
