Tonight’s show is a later one, so we had a chance to finally take the motorcycles out for a ride!
We rode through Spearfish Canyon, which snakes through the Black Hills National Forest, through the little towns Deadwood and Lead, and dumps you off onto I-90. It was a nice 45-mile ride and the weather was perfect!
Then we headed into Sturgis for the first time this trip, where Glencoe Camp Resort is located. It took us 45 minutes to get through 4 stoplights, but it was okay because there was plenty to look at!
We arrived at Glencoe and picked up our credentials. Classy pic, huh? Who knew the secret to clean laundry is PBR?
We met Candlebox and some guys from a band called Gilby Clarke, who are out of L.A. We also met some very nice girls who happened to be strippers. As a matter of fact, Glencoe was full of cool people! We befriended the Flaunt girls, a traveling group that is part burlesque, part cirque, and a lot of fun. They’re best known for being featured on the Full Throttle Saloon show. We had a great view while we performed:
We ended up playing a 90 minute set with no break. We put out a lot of energy and had a really good time, although Nick’s in-ear monitors were eaten by his mane.
Sunday night there will be much more documentation of our Glencoe adventures, because we’ll be performing with Warrant and Quiet Riot! Oh, and the Flaunt girls again, too. π
