Well its quieter in Roseburg today. Late yesterday afternoon we heard that the hard rockin alternative/indie band Buck Cherry was having dinner in the Burg. Since they are playing in Portland Friday night, and their music isn't quite my "scene", I didn't think too much about it. Late in the evening though I walked into Fred Meyer and was told "you just missed them..". Then I started wondering what was up. Apparently for some reason the band spent the afternoon, evening, and overnight here in Roseburg. I have had reports of Buck Cherry being at one of the malls, of course Fred Meyer, Dutch Bros and just out for a walk taking pictures on Garden Valley Blvd. Early this morning they left, according to their website they were bound for Yakima before the Portland stop tomorrow.
So some of you could care less, others will ask your kids and find out they probably know the band. While dinner and gas stops in the Burg with celebrities happen fairly often I am told (just ask restaurants near the exits) a group spending the night is a rarity. They could have gone farther north and had a shorter drive today, so why stop here? I am guessing they just wanted a little peace and quiet and to not be noticed much for awhile.
In any event it was fasinating... maybe one day we will get a former President or major candidate to stop in our little town. Oh wait, that happened too!

Actually, I was with them!! Pics to prove it. They went to the mall, and Fred Meyers, the drummer went to Dutch bros and when they first stopped at the hotel next to Ross, they ate lunch at Quizno's and bought shoes at JcPenny's. They didn't stay overnight. They let their driver sleep for a couple of hours at the hotel and they went to eat at Rodeo Steak House. It was great. But yeah, your right about stopping in a little city. They weren't driving with security so they decided to stay in a smaller town so that they could have a little peace.
