Violent Femmes - ChocolateFest
May. 15th, 1998 07:00 pmThe city of Burlington holds ChocolateFest every year. Apparently, not just a gathering of chocolate enthusiasts, but a regular festival, with bands and rides and stuff. I'm not sure, since I didn't really look around, but in 1998, they had bands. The big portable stage was set up on a gravel parking lot, and Steve and I watched the first band from a grassy hillside. I want to say it was the Woolridge Brothers, but I could be wrong. It was a local band that I'd heard of but never seen.
The Femmes did their usual fun show. I recall Ritchie in his Packers jersey, and they sang a song about Reggie White. Near the end, it started to rain. They lowered the canopy and the band played on. Some people were leaving, but it wasn't a heavy rain. Then, it started pouring. They pulled the plug and we left. Steve and I jogged back to the car, and were soaked to the bone by the time we got there. Seems like I was wearing jeans and a denim jacket. Wet wet wet. My ticket stub shows obvious signs of being soaked.
