Arrived at BamaJam

Debbie Ingram and I have arrived at BamaJam. We’re setup at the country stage listening to Jamey Johnson.

The crowd seems bigger than during the opening performance last year.

The rain didn’t cool things off. It’s hot and I’m already breaking into a sweat. Oh to have a lovely beach umbrella.

The misting fans I borrowed from a co-worker are wonderful. If you’re headed this way and don’t have one, stop and get a fan.

I’m not sure what the traffic is like right now, but earlier it was backed up on Boll Weevil Circle in Enterprise. Debbie got stuck in it. I drove up to Ozark and cut over on Highway 27 to Boy Scout Road.  Very light traffic until we arrived at BamaJam. There are bottlenecks getting into the parking lots but that’s to be expected.

Got to start heading over to the Alternative Stage for Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. We’ll have video from the first performances in a bit.

More later ....
