The Biker Build Off at Buffalo Chip

An evening at the Buffalo Chip was nothing like I could have ever imagined.  I pictured a sort of Summerfest type event where you just staked out a spot and parked yourself on a piece of lawn and listened to the band playing on stage.  It was sort of like that only at a magnitude that was bigger than ever. Huge. There were about 12 stages all around the perimeter of the venue.  It was a little like a circus with many acts all going on at once and if you were standing in the middle all you have to do is keep turning around to see them all. People were in lawn chairs, on blankets and some looked like they were camped out in the same place for days. Which they probably were. And we were here to see Bob Dylan.

Funny thing happened on our way to the concert.  Cindy offered us press passes which allowed us access to a dinner and a biker build-off event backstage from the concert.  We were so excited. We actually had dinner with the people from the Biker Build-off shows.  Not the ones who film it but the real biker builders.  These were the people Jeff loved to watch construct their amazing motorcycles. 

The exhibit was amazing.  Michael Lichter's art photography was all over the walls and the motorcycles were on display.  It was an incredible event and we were so grateful to be there. As we walked through the exhibit we could hear the music playing.  Bob Dylan was on stage and we were right behind it.  I wish I could have snapped a photo but it was too dark to capture it.
