Whiskers, why dont you go to Music At The Junction in La Junta Colo. Theres a poker run and then music all day and night long. The head liner is Foghat this year and its alot of fun. Its no Sturgis but its fun and its also to benifit Hosice. This is the fifth year, and it keeps getting bigger. If you decide to take the ride pm me, maybe we could have a drink or something.

I'm sitting in a hotel room whining because I had to delay my departure to Sturgis by three days because of work. I guess it could be worse and not get to go at all.[]
