Corn Dogs and Cows, oh my!Three nights, six shows, 72 songs, and thousands of fans (happy ones, too, which is always a plus) - that was the 2008 Iowa State Fair experience for The Nadas. Thank you so much for coming out and making it a great party. I’ve been reliving it by watching the Iowa State Fair highlight show on IPTV. Oh they were there, recording the whole thing. It’s fun to catch some of the action that I missed the first time (or maybe, er, don’t remember). But we really couldn’t have asked for much more - the weather was perfect, the crowds were energetic, and the food was delicious. I’ve spent most of this week on a treadmill watching the Olympics and trying to make up for my extreme gluttonous intake; I don’t regret anything, though. Do you? Didn’t think so. Let’s do it again next year.And before I forget, our super cool 2008 Iowa State Fair shirts will be available at our online store very soon. They were extremely popular (way to go, LB) and we’ve had a lot of requests to make them available for a little while longer. So keep checking the website and get your chicken.Oh yeah, and we also have all of the 2008 ISF shows available for download. So, um, yeah, more reasons to visit the online store and drop some coin.I swear this is the last piece of Fair business. Ready? We want to see your pictures from the Iowa State Fair. Send them to thenadas@thenadas.com. We’ll put together a special online fair section so we can all relive the memories together.Okay, let’s move on.
