The Balloons are BACK!

Posted by admin in You should be at

 

 

 

If you were driving around town this morning then you may have seen a bunch of hot air balloons afloat our beautiful City of Trees!  The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is bringing back the hot air balloon tradition we loved so much when the Boise River Fest was an annual event.  Nearly 30 hot air balloons will be participating from September 2nd - 5th including a Night Glow Light Show and Live Concert Saturday night from 6pm - 10pm in Ann Morrison Park.  This event is to celebrate 100 years of flight in Idaho.  So if you are looking for an amazing family friendly event then this is your gig. 

 

In addition, there will be a Candlight Vigil to show support for the prevention of child abuse.  This is being done in conjunction with the Spirit Of Boise Balloon rally and Night Glow.  It will also be held at Ann Morrison Park on Saturday night. To participate, plan to arrive with your own candle around 6:00pm and it the vigil will start about 7:00pm.  Check out the video Peak has done to spread the word about this important issue and to raise further awareness.

We love when our local Celebrities make it big and last night was such the occasion when our friend Aaron Paul won his first Emmy - Best Supporting Actor in the A&E hit Breaking Bad.  We're so happy for him and hope we get to do an Emmy sandwich similar to this picture.  Congrats Aaron!

Weekend of FUN!

There is so much to do this weekend in our beautiful City of Trees!  Whether you'll be eating deep fried Oreo's at the fair or not, we have some fun events a little further away from the Carnies.

 

First up - The Big LeBoise - The Boise Weekly Block Party Saturday from 10am to 10pm.  Here's are some deets from their site:

 

We're completely shutting down Broad Street in front of the Boise Weekly offices, and starting bright and early at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 28, you can wave goodbye to your hangover with our Bloody Mary contest finals while kicking it with the craftiest crafters this side of Craftsville. At 11 a.m., Sherpa kicks off a long day of local music. Hillfolk Noir takes over at noon, New Transit is at 1 p.m., Boise Rock School follows at 2 p.m., Trevor Kamplain from ATTN takes the reins at 3 p.m., Fauxbois rocks out at 4 p.m., Finn Riggins commandeers the stage at 5 p.m. and a sweet dance party gets kicking at 6:30 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m.

Next up - The A.L.P.H.A. 7th Annual HIV and AIDS Award show.  This organization has done a tremendous job spreading education about HIV and AIDS in Idaho.  A little snipit from their site regarding the event:

 

6pm - Cocktails in Fireside Lounge, 7pm-10pm - Dinner & Awards SHOW.  This is an evening set aside to THANK all of those who have worked so hard locally on HIV and AIDS and surrounding issues. 10pm - Awards are presented to the community for leadership, education, care philanthropy and volunteerism.

TO PURCHASE TICKETS CONTACT a.l.p.h.a. at 208.424.7799. 

 

 

And lastly - The 2nd Annual Curb Cup!  Here's the info from their site:

 

On Sunday, August 29, much of Downtown Boise will be a stage – where entertainment and performance all come to life on our streets and sidewalks.

 

Destined to be a must-attend, gotta-participate annual signature event for our community, the Curb Cup 2 will feature hundreds of performers and thousands of voter attendees...all in one great circus of creativity in the heart of our city. It’s all free. It’s all fun. And, it’s all to celebrate who we are, where we live, and how we express ourselves.

 

The event is planned for 8th Street from Jefferson to BoDo, the Grove.  The event runs from 1 pm to 4 pm. So, make an afternoon of it.  And...of course, our award we're giving out:  FameFifteen -  Should be a Local Celebrity.  

 

Enjoy all the summer festivities...even though it'll be 70 degrees outside.  See everyone out and about in downtown Boise!

All Grown Up!

One of our most beloved past BSU football players, Brock Forsey, is gettin' hitched this weekend to his long-time girlfriend and baby momma.  This will for sure be a mecca of past players that helped BSU attain its national status ranking.  Ladies, calm down.  This reunion won't be in Boise so your jersey chasing will have to wait for another time.

Band of Buds - Vote for Team Train Wreck!

Posted by admin in Minerva

 

 

We'll do anything for Team Train Wreck!!!  Please vote here for Team Train Wreck in the Budweiser Band of Buds contest- It's so easy a drunk baby could do it!  But, we don't recommend you get a baby drunk and test that theory out.

 

What is Band of Buds you ask!?! 

Band of Buds is a competition to find the best Crews in America. 25 Crews will make it to the Finals in Las Vegas. One winning Crew will take home $100,000 and be featured in Rolling Stone magazine.

What’s a Crew? You and three friends. You compete by getting votes and earning points right here at BandofBuds.com.

The top 12 Crews in each market with the most points will be invited to compete at a local Casting Call party where their camaraderie, style and game will be voted on by a panel of judges.

One Crew will be selected from each Casting Call party to compete in the Band of Buds Finals in Las Vegas; a four-day, reality show-like competition. Then, and only then, will we be able to crown the official Band of Buds.

 

So....again, please vote for the best Train Wreck Crew we know!

Post BMF Thoughts

Posted by admin in Local talent pool

 

 

Heyo! So now that we’ve all come off of our BMF buzz, the bickering has begun on what could have been done differently at the first annual Boise Music Festival. Michael Deeds wrote a great article on how the event that pulled in excess of 70,000 people and was one of the highest ranked Google searches on the world wide web is looking to be the next Boise River Festival. Here is a link to his article:

 

So, we thought we’d address some of the complaints head on. Keep in mind that Peak Broadcasting put on this killer event, we were only involved in the booking of all the local bands that played on stages 1 – 4. However, we were there to see how hard the Peak Crew worked to make this event happen and how they already have plans for next summer’s Festival.

 

Obviously the biggest complaint has been about the beer, as noted in Deeds’ article. This is an easy fix for next year. More beer + shorter lines = Happy Festival Goers. We know people were looking for beer at 10 am when the Festival started, we know you need your brewskis before the noon-hour strikes. The Beer sitch will be addressed. Do not fret, you cute drunkards.

 

More room. We love our fellow man, we do, but not in a sweaty, personal space way. Things were a leeeetle too close for comfort which is why Peak is trying to move the Festival to include the soccer fields next year. We’ll see. But we think that would be awesome.

 

Commodities for the Local bands. We think having 35 local bands performing at the Festival is what made this such a special, local event. Fans came out to support their favorite bands in droves. There were tents set up at each stage area for the bands to chillax and prepare, however the bevies (ie: water) that were supposed to be provided in each tent area were never provided. Our poor bands had to lug in equipment, perform in 100 degree heat, deal with stage schedule nightmares and then didn’t have water. We had a golf cart (Godsend Vehicle) and tried delivering as much water as we could until the water just plain old ran out. We apologize to the bands who went without water. This won’t happen again.

 

Amps. Not to call any companies out, but someone was supposed to provide amps for each stage and someone didn’t. This was realized at about 9:30 am. We called up some buddies who let us rent amps from them last minute and special thanks to Jerry Fee for letting us rent amps from him as well. The amp situation put us behind about 2 hours on stages 1 and 2. Then a sound board went out. In short, the bands playing on stages 1 and 2 were screwed, some couldn’t play due to time constraints and others were moved to stages 3 and 4. We apologize to those bands. Next year, stages 1 and 2 will be separated. Backlines will be triple checked. We’re hoping for smooth sailing. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We still hope the experience was worth it.

 

Stage Managers. We want to give a special shout-out to our volunteer stage managers. Tyler Bush, Shea Sutton, Jared Nelson on stages 1 and 2. Stina King and Bryce Majors on stage 3 and Mark Nagel on stage 4. You guys rock.

 

Finally, we wanted to make sure and list all the bands that participated on the 4 local stages.  Please go out and support these groups if you see them playing in shows around the Treasure Valley.  They were all amazing and deserve some recognition!
