Posting will be kind of sporadic here in the next 2 weeks. At least I think so. This AASHTO cross country convoy is a busy day of activities. You can read a lot more about it on Domestic Fuel. Anyway, one of the things I’m going to be doing is a thing I’m going to label, “Dueling Satellite Radios.” I’ll have more on this but you’ll hear about it in the video clip I’ve got for you here. I mention it because it’s “new media” and I’ve got a great interview coming up for you this weekend with a VP from XM Satellite Radio. You probably know I’m a Sirius subscriber but I’ve also got XM in the truck I’m driving so it’s going to be a cross country side-by-side comparison and I wonder who will win.
Tanya Tucker The Tractor Racer
The last contestant in today’s tractor race was Tanya Tucker. Boy did the crowd love her.
Mr. New Holland West Kentucky
Here’s Mr. New Holland himself, Robert Hendrix. I think he’s a very distant relative of Jimi.
Michael Peterson Booth
Back at the convention center the Michael Peterson booth had a long line this afternoon. People lined up for a picture and an autograph.
Bellamy Brothers On Stage
On the Riverfront stage this afternoon we had the Bellamy Brothers. They’re celebrating 30 years together and still sound great.
Rhett Akins At Riverfront
Speaking of bands. I walked on down to the Riverfront in time to catch Rhett Akins.
Bands Everywhere
I did not get the name of this band so please post if you know it.
Watching The Parade
The parade got underway and the New Holland/FFA/Michael Peterson/Chevy float was one of the main attractions.
Indy 500 Underway
Just in case you haven’t been looking at Domestic Fuel I’ll give you this post from the start of the Indy 500 today. I’ll have more later today or tomorrow depending on what happens during the race (or the finish!).
Today has been a relatively quiet day here in Indianapolis. Except for the annual parade that is. This fine looking group found a shady spot to watch. Included in the picture are
