SCENES FROM A PARKING LOT >>>
Bobble Tiki gets itchy if he goes more than two blocks without seeing some poured concrete. He blames it all on the movie version of The Wizard of Oz. Not only is country life so dreary they couldn't bother filming it in Technicolor, but Judy Garland falls into that pen with all those shrieking pigs, and Ray Bolger bangs his thumb with a hammer. Scary Bobble Tiki tells you. But last night Bobble Tiki lightened up a bit and ventured out into the great outdoors for some country tunes and Jägermeister.
Bobble Tiki's decision to brave the pollen and cow pies was solidified when he discovered the country concert was actually held at a concrete parking lot in downtown Tacoma.
Big Whisky Saloon and 100.7 FM The Wolf-hosted another Parking Lot Party last night in Whisky's back parking lot. Beginning slowly, the crowd eventually filled the lot to suck up live country music by Jonathan Harris and Robbie Walden & The Gunslingers, dance on the outdoor dance floor, drink cold beer, eat barbecue, shoot paint balls at targets and ride "Bubba the Mechanical Bull."
What surprised Bobble Tiki the most was the large contingent of folks who actually watched first-run Bonanza episodes and not its reruns amid the dregs of Sunday-morning TV. Hopalong Cassidy represent.
