Riverdays

Introduction
I went to Riverdays on the weekend and had a ball.  I sampled a lot of food and I bought sum as well. There were 7 major musical acts and many minor ones.  I met several people and ran into people I know.  I was there 4 three days and had different experiences each day.  I thought there would be foodtrucks from  50 states, but sadly it wasn't.  This was the largest foodtruck rally in the world.  200,000 people showed up!!!!

Friday
I sampled food from foodtrucks that were from 8 different states.  They were Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, New York, Louisiana, and Missouri.  In that order.  5 of them was sweet, 1 of them was ok, and 2 of them wasn't so good.

The Michigan truck is called 3 Lil Pigs BBQ, LLC.  I sampled mac & cheese, pulled pork with bbq sauce on it, and pickles.  I enjoyed all of it.  You can find them on facebook.  They have a sweet menu with a lot too choose from.       

The Pennsylvania truck was called Humpty Dumplings.  I ate a Philly Cheese Steak dumpling.  It was okay.  I should have put sum hot sauce on it.

The Ohio truck is called Wicked Lobster.  I got sum steamed lobster from them.  I wasn't a fan.

The Georgia truck is called Chazito's.  They have Puerto Rican food.  I sampled roasted pork, Spanish rice, and Extra Chaz Sauce.  It was dope!  They also have a restaurant in Georgia.

The Florida truck is called Di Big Jerk.  I sampled a chicken leg (drumstick) with jerk sauce from them.  It was delicious!!  You can find them on Facebook.

The New York food truck is called Dirty BBQ.  I sampled sweetheat: it was a chicken tender with spicy and sweet sauces on it.  It was the bomb!!!

The Louisiana truck or so I thought is called New Orleans Cajun Cooking.  I sampled Jambalaya, it had too much seasoning on it.  It was as bad as the lobster or worse!

The Missouri truck is called Bacon Me Crazy.  I sampled a bacon cheeseburger.  I was given a whole burger and I just wanted a sample.  It was crazy dope and fresh!!!!!!  I didn't eat it all because I was full from all the samples I ate.

There were jet ski stunts on Detroit River.  I only saw a little bit of it.  This one guy was on a jet pack that was fueled by water.

There 2 major music acts: The Grannies of Mary Jane and Smokey Robinson.  There were a lot people there to see the acts.  If you bought a ticket you could sit close up to the stage.  I didn't so I set behind the gate. 

The Grannies of Mary Jane real name is Mary Jane Girls, but I call them that because they are all grandmas.  They sung several songs, but one song they sung was Live & Die in LA.  That was my fave.  Ice Cube said hello during the Grannies of Mary Jane performance.  They were backup singers 4 Rick James.

Smokey Robinson sung sum of his songs and songs he wrote 4 the Temptations.  One of those songs was My Girl.  I bought pictures of him 4 my mom.  I liked most of the minor music acts.   

I met a lady from California that was collecting donations 4 abused a neglected children.  That was so awesome!!!!!  She was weird, she didn't know men wiped themselves.  I talked to her until my uber came.  A man wanted to shake her hand, but she told him she had makeup on her hands.  He felt rejected so he got upset with her and wouldn't tell her his name.  She really did have makeup on her hands. 

Saturday
I bought food from places that didn't give me samples.  Most places would gave me samples, but a few of them wouldn't.  I wanted to try samples from all 50 states, but only ten states was there.  I only samples on Friday, I bought food the the other days. 

Pollo is a food truck from Kentucky.  They were only food truck from Kentucky @ Riverdays.  I got to chicken tacos from them.  They were okay, it should have tasted better.  They specialize in chicken.   

I bought a cupcake from Simply Divine Cupcakes.  That foodtruck was from Indiana.  I ate a cookie's 'n cream cupcake.  It tasted as expected, it was delicious!  The cupcake even had icing in the middle.

I went back to Chazito's from Georgia and bought a Puerto Rican platte.  It consisted of  roasted pork, Spanish rice, and sweet plantains.  I enjoyed the meal, but couldn't eat it all because it was 2 spicy.  I put sum super hot sauce on it.  It made my eyez red, I cried, my hand tinkled, and my lips burned.

I ran into my cousins and one of them gave me sum water.  They were on a double date.  It was good to see them because I haven't seen them in a while.  I texted them my blog.  Early I ran into someone from the church my mom goes too.  He remembered me.  I rarely go to church, because I don't subscribe to that theology.  I've been non-religious since 18.  I like the fellowship though and the singing and dancing.  It is like a concert.

There was an air show; it was somehow related to Tuskegee Airmen.  Planes were doing tricks in the air.  They were making circles and a trail of guess followed them wherever they went.       

I bought a vanilla iced latte from a Michigan foodtruck called Coffee Rescue.  I enjoyed it; it helped me be more awoke.  They had at least 5 different flavors 4 iced lattes: Carmel, Butterscotch, etc.  There were espresso shots and IV bags of fruit punch.  I didn't get any of that. 

There were 2 major musical acts.  They were Brian Mcknight and Brandy Norwood.  I thought he was bigger than Brandy, I was wrong.  I assume Brain sung more songs than Brandy, but I'm unsure. 

Brian sung about 30 songs.  Most of them were from his albums.  The first song he sung was Genesis.  I like the songs 10,000,000 Stars, Only 1 for Me, Back @ One, and Anytime.  He sung songs from singers that died: Whitney Houston, James Ingram, Prince, Maurice Wright (September), and Debarge (Switch).  He has been singing professionally for 31 years! 

Brandy sung several songs, but I left when I thought she was done.  She was just playing she kept on singing.  She wore a dress that had images of flowers on the front and a cap in the back that had a image of a Russian doll on it.  She sung 3 Whitney Houston songs.  Someone may have wanted her to sing I Will Always Love You.  She said she didn't have the range and she proved it.  She can't sing notes as high as Whitney Houston.  She was the star of the hit show Moesha, it came on upn.
Drones flew over the crowd during the concert.  Most likely drones from the news. 

Sunday
I was with my mom on this day.  The other 2 days I was by myself.  She enjoyed the festivities.  I bought Jerk wing dings and fries from Di Big Jerk (Floridia).  I also bought grape juice 4 me and my mom.  She ate a beef hot dog, which she didn't like.  The wing dings were to fatty.  The sample I had on Friday was better. 

There was another airshow.  The flew in squadrons and sum planes pretended to crash.  We were under the tent when this was going on.  We just got finished eating.  We saw a hula hoop lady and juggler.  They both did a good job but the hula hoop lady was better.

Later we listen to a rock band called Half Light.  They were sweet.  I bought mom their cd after the show.  Then we went to the kiddie section and saw a dance off.  The boy defeated the girl because when she flipped, she slipped.  Otherwise she would have won.  Then the kids did their favorite Fortnight dance in front of the stage. 

There were 3 major musical acts.  They were Bre L Leslie, Carl Thomas, and Faith Evans.  A young DJ did stretching and there were young dancers.    They didn't do so well.  They sounded bad 4 quite a while, then they sounded better.  Singers should practice b4 they come on stage. 

Bre L Leslie is a Detroit native.  Her songs sound good on the radio, but she sounds awful in person. She didn't sing much, she mostly danced.  Most of the songs were recordings.  I could listen to the radio 4 that.  Singers should sing @ their concerts.  What the point of hearing a recording.  All the women dancing with her were thin.  @ first I thought sum of them were men!  She should get sum thicker dancers. 

After that, a 12 year Dj came on stage and started spinning records.  His Name is Dj Who.  He did an amazing job, being that he is only 12.  Sum young dancers came stage and start cutting a rug.  Sum of the dancers were as young as 6!   

Carl Thomas came on after them.  The women were so happy when he got on stage.  He started off bad, but he got better.  He did a better job Than Bre L Leslie, because he sung all his songs.  I liked the songs emotional and I wish I never met her.               
                             
Finally Faith Evans came on stage.  She sounded bad @ first, so I was ready 2 go.  Mom wanted to stay for 1 song, so we left on the second song.  She started sounding better, so wished I stayed longer. A helicopter flew over the concert.  She was the wife of Biggie Smalls and they had a son together.  His name is Christopher Wallace Jr. ; he's a actor, musician, and entrepreneur.
