Everclear at the Taste of Joliet 2007 | Living In Plainfield
Jun 28th, 2007 by Julie
This weekend marks the second year anniversary of the revival of the Taste of Joliet after a 10 year lapse in planning. 23 food vendors will crowd the Memorial Stadium at 3000 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet.
This year the band popular from the late 90’s, Everclear, will perform! (Checkout their myspace page via the link!) Everclear will perform on Saturday night (6-30-07) from 9 to 11 pm. I met these guys twice over the last 10 years. They’re really funny charachters, if you get the chance to meet them this weekend!
I still have my autographed Everclear t-shirt signed on tour bus. I can only imagine why the tour bus driver invited on the bus to “meet the band” but unfortunately for him, it didn’t work out like that! 
Actually all of the guys from the band are quite the gentlemen. Art Alexakis is pretty funny too!
The will also be a competitive eating contest sponsored by Milano Bakery at 2 pm on Sunday. Contestants will need to pre-register prior to this event.
A mud volleyball tournament it scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
