New Years day fell on Friday out here on the Ice. We were given an extra day off for the week, but it wasn't until Saturday. So, on the actual New Years Eve I went to the bar with a couple of my roommates and made it about half an hour into the New Year. There were actual a good amount of people our for it being a work nite...

The New Years celebration was pushed into the weekend and on Saturday the big event occurred: ICESTOCK. This is one of the larger events for sure - people turned out to let loose, drink, party, and have fun. Its all outside from 12pm - 6pm with live bands and free schwag: face-painting, hoola-hooping, tie-dye-your-own scarf or shirt, chili, bbq brats and burgers, and H1N1 shots. (I already got mine the week before) There's even a $15 official ICESTOCK tie-dye shirt and of course $2 beers. The festivities continued after 6pm with acoustic music at the coffeehouse and bands at Gallagher's (one of the two bars).
Here's pictures of two of the bands-
One of the highlights of the show was in between bands a bunch of robots showed up and started dancing... It definitely pumped up the atmosphere after a couple of more mellow bands.
And then sonme ninjas showed up and they started battling...
Not dance battling, but fighting...
All were vanquished except for one robot and one ninja and they became friends or more than friends?
My only thoughts were I should've been a robot. Missed the boat on that one.

Here's a picture of the ICESTOCK venue, the day after.

This morning was the 10K run. Got up grudgingly and ran...Course was a little short. I was a little sick - congested, sore throat. I was tired. Time looked good, but course was definitely short. There was a strong wind going one direction as well - I was cold.
