Yep. On Thursday, July 10th, Mary, Sara and I met up in Ohio for Country Concert 2008. I won’t go into much detail, but it was amazing. Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Phil Vassar, Kellie Pickler, Trace Adkins, Josh Turner, Rodney Atkins, Jake Owen, and about 15 others rocked it out for four days. We camped, we baked in the sun, had a beer or two, and even showered once. Good times.

Well, without further ado: You Might Be At Country Concert 2008…

…if footwear in Port-O-Johns is optional.

…if you or someone standing next you has a tattoo of a deceased friend or loved one somewhere on their body.

…if you just peed in a 50ft gutter because it’s what it was built for.

…if half of your Saturday involved swimming in the back of your neighbor’s pickup truck.

…if group showers at the local car wash seem like a good idea.

…if you just got up at 6am, after getting to bed at 2am, just to go sit in line for three more hours and dream about the bed you just left.

…if the food going into your body may actually look better on the way back out.

…if you’ve been hanging out with people for four days and you still only know them as “neighbor”.

…if, while standing in the men’s Port-O-John line, you overhear someone say that “there’s either a chick in there, or a dude with painted toenails”.

…if a braided belt over swim trunks seems normal.

…if it takes sinking 8” into the mud to remember you have four-
wheel drive.

…if you always have an eye on the “jet pack”

…if hitting on a girl means asking them to jump in the trunk of your
car so you can smuggle them in… and it works.

…if you can get your “lifeguarding permit” by simply raising your
hand and saying “I want to be lifeguard next!”

…if you feel like you have a fancy campsite just because you have
a bucket with a toilet seat behind a tarp.

…if you see small children fetching beers for grown adults and
instead of feeling angst and disgust, you simply want to procreate.

…if your food groups consist of beer, tenderloins the size of your
head, pounds of bread sticks, rebel burgers, and beer.

…if you wake up in the morning with “yucky tummy”.

…if the guy you just overheard saying “Wow, people are just starting to look miserable”, was definitely talking about you.

…if you are excited and surprised that you actually have pajamas on in the morning.

…if you think urinating in the chair of the 250lb man standing next to you seems like a swell idea. The guy who tried that learned otherwise. (Depiction of said angry man, below left.)

…if you sent Sunday evening planning how, next year, you’ll celebrate both the wedding and divorce of your young, stupid neighbors. (One shown above right.)

…if your neighbors are smart enough to back over their cornhole board.

Two words “Al’s Special”.

Can’t wait til next year!

See you out there!
