Our friends from Minnesota, the Johnson family, surprised us in West on Saturday at the Expo. Turns out that their annual family ski trip was taking them to Grand Targhee this year, and a nice pit stop along the way happened to be West Yellowsnow and a Clintons concert.
Their plan was to show up at our gig that night and watch our jaws drop to the floor…alas, myself (The Dawg) was busted in the hallway of the hotel by the young Johnson whippersnappers, and the jig was up….at least for me. Jay aka MNflyfish informed me of a 12 pack of Leinie’s HoneyWeiss that had survived the trip, and within minutes, it was in my fridge. I accepted it as a peace offering for keeping my yapper shut to the fellas about our distinguished guests….it was so worth it.
I told Jay and Nuala that I would be referencing said episode in my blawg for Monday…..I did not tell them I’d be posting a pic. I hope their ski trip to Targhee will be as Grand as the time they spent in West at the show!!

SHIT…..THAT’S RIGHT!! THAT’S THE LADY THAT MY BRO JEFF WAS TRYING TO SCORE WITH….HEHE!!
That and being introduced as your brother-in-law and my wife as your sister-in-law was a classic way to get the venue to allow us to hang around after the show. I will say, we hit the road at 7am the next morning, I was feeling REALLY rough, and just missed the first chair at Targhee. As for Wendy’s comment, 6 straight powder days, though the last day I had to hike a bit into the BC to get it, but Bridger is on next year’s hot list-all depends on tour dates.
Next time tell them to hit the Cold Smoke at Bridger!!!
TOO BAD THEY DIDN’T BRING MORE LEINIE’S…..
It was AWESOME to see them randomly appear in the front of the stage on the dance floor. They’re insane. No wonder I get along with them as well as I do.
