Stayed up way past my bedtime last night for Treefort, so tonight, I’ll do it again.
Don’t just stare at your phones when walking around Boise. Local businesses are playing Finders Keepers games. I found this act of kindness at The District Coffee House yesterday, where I had a a delicious iced latte. Free disc and a gift card. Thank you, Eureka!
Here are my music picks today.
PreFunk at 4 pm. Sunbathe, from Portland. This will be the third year I’ve seen this band at Treefort. I really do like them.
The Main Stage opens at 4:20 with Liz Cooper & The Stampede. They did a preview show at The Record Exchange yesterday.
Good thing PreFunk and the Main Stage are so close together. Back to PreFunk at 5 for Naked Giants.
Main Stage at 5:40 for The Suffers. Soul music for the soul.
And…guess what? Back to PreFunk at 7 for Pinky Pinky
That’s as late as I can survive tonight.
I will fuel up on food truck row before the first show. Here are the choices from the Treefort website.
Mad Mac – Nothing scratches that itch like a big bowl of mac n’ cheese.
Boise Fry Co. – When you’re tired and delirious, you don’t want to make choices. You just want a damn burger.
Calle 75 Tacos – You’ll know what we’re tacoing about once you have a delicious bite from Calle 75.
Genki Takoyaki – In Japan it’s common for businessmen to party all night then go straight to work. Takoyaki makes this possible.
Gyro Shack – Traditional Greek gyros forged in the bowels of Mount Olympus by Hephaestus himself.
Neckar Coffee – This coffee is the only thing that will be keeping you alive by the end of Treefort.
Tony’s Tamales – Tamales are the original Hot Pocket AND the first energy bar, so pretty much the perfect festival food.
The Funky Taco – A Boise-based team of mutant ninja teenage crime-fighters would only eat The Funky Taco.
B-Town Bistro – B-Town’s diverse menu is like 5 food trucks forming a giant robot superhero food truck.
Rice Works – Treefort is the only acceptable place to eat a rice bowl by stuffing your face into it, though they also provide chopsticks.
Pie Hole – If one attends Treefort and does not eat Pie Hole pizza, did one actually attend Treefort at all?
Secret Aardvark – Because 55+ bands from Portland wasn’t enough, we had to bring their secret sauce, too.
Kanak Attack – What? Your specialty is island-style giant roast pigs? Just take our money.
Soulcraft BBQ – Run by sleepless cyborgs, Soulcraft’s smoker will be running 24/7 so you get the sweet, sweet meat sweats.
Poutine Your Mouth – Ah, the tried-and-true Canadian salad, hold the greens, extra potatoes and gravy.
