That's not thunder you hear...

but the constant sound of motorcycles going up and down the street. Welcome to Bike Week 2008! I wish I had more pictures to share with you but by the time I get my cam out to take pictures of the crazy people the moment has passed. Plus on Fri night I didn't bring my camera because I didn't want to bring my purse. Bad call. We walk thru throngs of people (so many people a 5 minute walk is 15) trying to get to the Full Moon Saloon where our boys the Disposable Heroes are playing when I realize my drivers license fell out of my pocket! So now we have to back track and pray no one found it and guess what? We found it! Two things saved me, one, it fell face down and two, there were all kinds of Jesus loves you cards on the ground so people weren't paying attention to it. Whew! This time we put the dl in Lina's wristlet and back we went. The guys started early and Lina had to work so we only got to see a few songs but hey, at least they knew we were there to support them and it's not like there wouldn't be many more opportunities to see them. They're playing 7 out of 9 days at Bike Week. It was cool seeing them back at the Full Moon where we first saw them on NYE because we got to see all of this energy that they have to contain when they're in smaller venues.

Lina and I use the Full Moon as our home base, going in and out, checking out other bars but always going back to the Moon. The good thing about that is the bouncers remember us (how could the not?) so we don't have to constantly bring out our IDs. The funny thing is the first time we went in the bouncer was like back again, I said yep. Turns out he thought I was from Bike Week last year, LMAO. I told him he probably remembers me from NYE because it turns out, not a lot of asian bikers. In fact, I do believe, I was the only asian walking around. Easy to remember me. Well, even if I wasn't asian it would be easy to remember me, LOL.

They shut off Main St to regular cars and it's all about the bikes. They're parked all up and down the street and bikers are riding up and down the street constantly. The noise is deafening. I need to get out early enough to get a god pic for you all. Here's one I took last night. Not the best angle but I was high on fumes, LOL.

I did walk by this bike that was red and shiny and had skulls coming out of it. I told the guy it was pretty. I don't think that was a compliment. I should have said cool. I was distracted by the redness of it, LOL. If I see the bike again I'll take a pic to share. Actually there are a lot of cool bikes. Just so many people on the streets I don't feel like stopping to take pics after all it's not like it's a pic of me!

Fri I was craving junk food like crazy but I resisted the urge during the day because I knew there were all kinds of food stuffs waiting for me that night. I was ravenous by the time we went out since I hadn't eaten since breakfast. I was saving my calories, lol. I started with an ice cream cone. Lina wanted pizza and the only other food around there was the ice cream and since I knew I wanted one anyway why not get it then? So I watched the band while licking my soft serve, as you can tell, I'm a hardcore rocker! Since I wanted to catch as much of the show as I could I decided to eat at the Moon and got the pulled pork sandwich. I did have a choice of a hunk of a pork chop (picture a caveman eating it it's so big) a turkey leg or a pork parfait. That's right I said pork parfait, LOL. It would be pork, mashed potatoes and bbq sauce in a parfait cup. Lina was grossed out at the thought and I must say I was a little too but I may have to try it just because sometime this week, LOL.

After the band played we chatted with them for a bit then went wandering off. We wanted to see the next band though so we came back, as we always do. I ordered some homemade potato chips. They looked so good. And they were. Then I went off to get us drunks while Lina held the chips. When I came back I couldn't find Lina and you know what that means? I couldn't find my potato chips! Code red, code red! So I'm looking for her and I wander over to Gary and Mikey. They're heading to another bar and want me to come with them but I can't leave Lina (or my chips) so I tell them we'll meet them and of course where do I find Lina? Where I had left her earlier. So off we go to join the guys at Diry Harry's across the street. The cool thing about them is they love other bands. People stand back from the stage unless they're dancing and these guys are right up on the stage rocking out to the band, very cool to see. We spent all of our money (I drank much more then planned LOL) and so went home to get more, so convenient, LOL. Course by the time we get back neither of us are drinking anymore. Once I stop, I'm pretty much done. We met the guys back at the Moon hung out for a bit more then headed home, exhausted and a tiny bit buzzed, LOL.

I have to say, either the pulled pork or all the drinks didn't sit well with me, couldn't be the ice cream or chips, LOL. I stayed in bed all day (which is not unusual on a Sat) but I couldn't read or anything. I was too scared to eat since my stomach had been upset but finally dragged my butt to the gym for a weak workout but hey I went and then got some soup to eat and yay, it wasn't food poisoning (I was worried, LOL). By the time I got home it was time to get in the shower and begin again. This time though, no booze and no pulled pork. All I ate were a couple of cheese fries and a funnel cake. Hey, I have my priorities!

I took this pic with my phone, hence the poor quality (and she was dancing so the movement made it more blurry). I have to say, this was one of the more conservative outfits. There was a woman who was about 20 years older then me with chaps and fishnets and a thong and let me just say, she did not have a pornstar butt! Actually, lots of chicks in chaps but they usually wore boy shorts with them. I saw girls who cut the asses out of their jeans to make them look like chaps. There was a chick riding on the back of a bike who had on a teeny tiny bikini top which she then pulled to the side and road down the street topless. Her tits looked great, she got her moneys worth, LOL. Unfortunately, no man candy for us ladies.

Here is the song the guys have been ending their show with at Bike Week. I know Bo will love it. The cool thing is they end the show with the drummer singing lead.
