Rail Jam 2010

Last Friday and Saturday, the Chamberlin Rail Jam was at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds in Bozeman. Both nights included skiing, snowboarding, and live music, and tickets were only $5 for both nights for students! On Friday, the preliminary skiing and snowboarding took place, and the GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan headlined the concert. Saturday was the finals for the rail jam, and Bassnectar headlined.

The setup for the rail jam consisted of three side-by-side rails—one box, one rail, and one double-kink rail. The stage was directly across from the rails with booths in between and separate beer gardens, one in a barn and one close to the stage.

I went both nights, and as you might be able to guess from my previous blogs, Bassnectar was my favorite part. One of my friends, Jess, brought her hula hoop to the concert and hooped all night. There is a video of her on Facebook, but I am unable to post it directly here (although I have her permission). Try clicking this link to check it out.

I did find a video of it on YouTube, although the sound quality is terrible. All in all, it was a good weekend.
