As always the show at Bubba's roadhouse was a blast. We would like to thank all of our great friends who showed up from as far away as Tacoma. We would also like to thank the great people from the CMA who showed up to see Dog Leg Preacher. Bubba's is always fun.
However the Sultan police were on high alert (and deservedly so) as it seems the previous night there was a fight in an unnamed establishment very close to Bubba's. Apparently one of the intoxicated combatants in his eagerness to escape an old fashioned beat down jumped behind the wheel of his vehicle and ran over a crowd of bystanders in the attempt. We have little information about the seriousness of the injuries sustained by the 6 or so people who were injured. We do know that some people had to be airlifted to the hospital, and that the clubs parking lot was jammed with ambulances. We could not believe that the club would be open for business following an event of this magnitude, but they were. The police were literally camped in their parking lot all night, and were pulling over almost every car they could. Needless to say, but these are the type of reckless actions by a few individuals that ruin things for all the responsible people out there. Also perhaps a properly trained and equipped bar staff with a bouncer could have better contained the violence prior to it spilling into the streets. FUNNY THING. THIS COMING SATURDAY DOG LEG PREACHER WILL BE PERFORMING AT HEMPFEST. In all my years as a working musician I have never seen the police or anyone else respond to a fight between people who were only smoking pot. We do not claim to have any answers, but it is an interesting observance.
