Last night in Milwaukee

After the museum we cruised Milwaukee and (oh what a surprise) ended up at the Harley dealership. The reason we do this is to collect a dealer patch and (if they are good) a T Shirt. I don't know how many we have visited, but there must be at least twenty T shirts in the collection. This proved beneficial as we not only met the owner of the place he gave us free ticketes to Summerfest.

When we first planned this trip we intended to be in Milwaukee on the Saturday and Sunday night so we could get to the Summerfest Rock festival. This meant we would have seen a couple of bands and artists (Phil Vassar and Tom Petty) that were appearing on the weekend but because of the delays earlier in the trip we had to settle for the Blue Oyster Cult and Collective Soul. Having said that there were at least 10 bands playing across the venue at the same time, this is a seriously large event. There were small and large stages and some very well known acts.



This rock concert is also a big biker destination. The organisers encourage bikers and a specail parking area is set up that allows you to ride right into the venue and park up. Everyone else has to park miles away and catch a bus.


We finished up the night looking for somewhere to get me a milk shake (I had a craving) and finally settled on Hooters (Bo's choice). I can see what the attraction is. They make damned good milk shakes.
