So, in a couple weeks, I'm driving out to Missoula, MT to attend my brother's wedding. Should be a good time, as I rarely get to see my brother. He and his fiance already have a few kids between the two of them, and they're a load of fun. And there's something so carefree and fun about atheist weddings. Can't wait.
However, there will be several days of down time in Missoula, and I know I'll need stuff to do. I'm sure I'll be playing with the kids, cooking, and hitting some hiking trails, nature shit, etc. However, if anyone knows of good record shops, restaurants, bars, or other points of interest, I know I'll need some more stuff to do. Thanks a bunch.

Some info on the Oxford toward the bottom.
I adore Missoula.

In retrospect, I should have stepped off the stage and utter-kicked Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

5hell yes, go to the oxford fo sho, their chicken fried steak is ridiculous. Also check out a place called Hong Kong Chef, it is kind of hidden but they have the best fried tofu and/or meat depending on your interests, and even though I ain't vegetarian, i prefer the tofu. Also, if you are there at the right time I know Total Fest is coming soon, it is pretty sweet tits. Also check out Ear Candy for some sweet records and the big dipper for ice cream. Oh how I miss Missoula.

I don't recall the name, either, but I remember it was right by Hellgate High.
Hey. My name's Josh.

Probably Electronic Sound and Percussion on Higgins ave.
Say hi to Checkers for me. Yes, that's his real name. No, none of the cool drums are for sale.

9Ear Candy and Rockin' Rudys are both good records stores, Ear Candy a bit more so.
The Palace/Bandlander is the place to see shows nowadays. My friend Mike from the Victory Smokes does most of their booking. There will probably a good if not interesting show while you are there.
That C/NC tread linked above has some really good suggestions as well(along with a drunken story of my past).
Missoula may just be my favorite place I've ever been to.

I was just going to post about how when I was there on tour in 2002, we went to a guitar store and met a guy named Checkers. He was one of those guys who was so nice and clean cut and gregarious that it was creepy, or straight out of a 1950's television show.
