Day #1 of Halfway Jam is in the books. Normally this means that today would be Friday, but the folks at Halfway Jam decided to throw a pre-party this year. A FREE pre-party!

Well...free admission and camping. The food and beverages still cost money. But the idea was to get people who have never experienced Halfway Jam to check it out for a night, free of charge.

It seems to have worked! There was a good crowd last night for The Rox Show, who provided the free entertainment. It took a while for the crowd to get properly lubed...lots of people, not too many were paying much attention to the band. Getting caught up with old friends? The band was good.

But once the beer kicked in, the party started.

The Rox Show features three tribute sets: one to Foreigner, one to Journey, and one to Bon Jovi.

I got rid of a ton of Loon koozies. But don't worry, lunatics: I have more! Maybe a t-shirt if you ask nicely. But to reiterate from last night: you don't get the one that I'm wearing!
