1. Practically non-stop drinking. Both brothers work in the alcohol industry, three major parties and a concert. You tell me.
2. Lips show rocked my face off. Mad props to the organizers of 80/35. It was a really nice festival. Des Moines is much hipper than it used to be. I can't imagine an event like this happening while I was living there. Also saw Andrew Bird, who was awesome.
3. Other than aforementioned concert, every party I went to--two 4th parties and my mom's 50th birthday bash, played almost continuous country music.
4. Two words: Lee Greenwood.
Big Ed put up a darn near circus tent in the backyard for my mom's party. I half thought he was going to walk a tightrope. My parents own more red, white, and blue serving platters than is necessary for any ten households, let alone one.
My parents also bought me a shirt with this guy on it:
which you wouldn't understand unless you grew up in Des Moines during the 80s or earlier.
On tap for this week: I turn
