Campton Hills or Bust, More Head Juice References, and “Hey, People are Still Eating!” -- Show Date -- 9/12/2025

Our heroes traveled further than any other show to present their flying
circus to the fine citizens of Campton Hills at the Squire Ale House. Mike
commented that the drive felt like a trip to Iowa, as his GPS took him on a
long, strange trip into the sticks down mysterious side streets and
practically into people’s driveways. The stage was a terrific mix of Bob’s
Country Bunker and Woodstock. The mixed crowd (ranging from ages 3 to
103) made Rob think twice about “going blue” at this show. “Save it for the
Halloween show”, said the entire band. “There are kids here…and no more
sweaty head juice references. People are still eating!” Kevin was adamant
about having the crowd enjoy their meals. Speaking of meals, Ellen ordered
a pre-show dinner of Chicken Alfredo, and there was no chicken. That’s like
seeing a BPB show…with no pre-song banter from Boober. Kinda strange
and lonely. Clearly the banter of the evening came during the band intros,
when Rob accused Lisa of creating “inappropriate balloon animals”.

Sound man Nick Madsen did an awesome job alleviating a strange buzz that
threatened to make show sound like it was in a bee hive. By the time the
sound check was over, the band clicked beautifully. Several fans who had
seen the band before said this was the best show so far for BPB 3.0.
Two new songs were debuted, much to the delight of the crowd: “You May
Be Right” and “Beautiful Things”. With every show, BPB 3.0 have become a
tighter, more professional outfit that always delivers a fun and festive
evening.

Finally, the post-gig photo featured the band standing on the stage as a fully
supine boober lay in front of them, looking sheepish and a bit mischievous.
More shenanigans ensued…and will be continued at the Halloween show in
late October. Thank you, Campton Hills…BPB will be back!
