On Friday we went to Colubus, OH. First we got some East Coast goodness, Rita's Water Ice, which is unexplainable but amazing and I (Jordan) have missed it dearly. Then we went to the Temple which was awesome. That was of course the highlight of the day, but the Jazz and Rib Fest that followed was pretty darn good as well. Along the riverfront there were two stages with jazz groups playing. The one in the picture, "Albino!", played Afro-beat, which is basically funkish. On the other side was a great jazz fusion band, "The Motet" from Boulder. Then there were rows and rows of Rib vendors from all over the country flaunting their copious (or non-copious) trophies and winnings banners, including Famous Dave's. We had "Lick My Ribs (@ Desperado's)" and it was nothing to complain about (though Cali's jeans might have good reason). We felt all at the same time excited by the food and music and intimidated by the gangster-dressed fight-picking folk (perhaps partly because the police were busy either mingling amongst themselves with their own BBQ pork sandwiches or showing off their Segway tricycles (yeah, Segways with a front wheel... figure that one out). Somehow we got home safe, barely-awake, and a bit poorer but quite content.
