We rode our old school bikes (aka: bicycles) down to Dickson Street this weekend and ventured where most locals won't. Bikes Blues and Barbecue rolls into town each fall bringing hundreds of motercycles and motercyclists with it. There is free live music, tons of food, and the constant hum of the bikes revving. We aren't bikers (at least not the motorized kind), but we love music and we really love food!
All you need to get into the main stage is your ID. They'll stick a wristband on you, and you can buy anything from a variety of pop up bars, and even get your biker boots shined!
Wednesday night was great. We danced to Mountain Sprout with all of our friends and it was a lot less crowded than it got in the days to follow. But Thursday night (blues night) brought this babetastic Kansas City singer, Samantha Fish. She's a bit blurry here, but trust us, she's cute.
Every year we eat at the Herman's truck because it's our only chance to be able to afford the place and their ribs are freaking amazing. Plus, this year they won me over with their "ask about our gluten free options" sign.
Brooke made us roasted corn on the cob with garlic butter which we brought along. It was amazing.
Cloth tablecloths y'all.
We walked up to the nightbird books parking lot to check out the other local food options of which there were plenty. We were really glad they made this happen because in years past there haven't been many.
Did you venture out for this year's BBB? What was your favorite moment? Where did you eat? Will you go again? We sure will!
