Theme Of Proposed Billings Magazine Is… Butts!

Andy West — Wed, 08 May 2013 22:35:20 +0000

Walking to lunch today in Downtown Billings I found this flyer. They're looking for people who want to photograph butts (or have pictures taken of their butt), blog about butts or paint a fine butt. The contacts, Zach and Yaz, certainly have come up with a unique idea for a periodical but will it be profitable and have mass appeal?

Here is the text from the flyer pictured above: "We are a group of mature individuals and we are absolutely fascinated by butts (God knows why)

Where Are The Pictographs At Pictograph Caves State Park?

Andy West — Thu, 02 May 2013 19:23:31 +0000

If you're a regular reader of my blog (assuming there are regular readers of my blog... anyone? Crickets.) you know I visited Pictograph Caves State Park this Sunday and had a great time. It is a good, vigorous hike up to the caves from the parking lot, lots of greenery and spectacular views, picnic spots and the excitement of not knowing if a rattlesnake is just around the corner

A Sign Promoting "Historic" Downtown Billings Broken Off From It's Base

Andy West — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:22:54 +0000

On my way to work I saw this Downtown Billings sign on 27th street broken off at it’s moorings. What was weird is that I didn’t see a dent where a car would have struck the sign. It’s almost as if it fell on it’s own. Hopefully no one was hurt.

From what everyone told me (I didn’t get to meet them) Rascal Flatts couldn’t have been nicer. How lucky was Angela and her friend to get to go on their tour bus and meet with Gary, Jay and Joe Don?

Lemons From My Lemon Tree Back Home

Andy West — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 01:37:55 +0000

As you may be aware, I'm new to Billings. I accepted a position here as the afternoon host on Cat Country 102.9. I love Montana and actually spent a few years in Great Falls growing up. I'm happy to be back in Montana but one of the things I miss about California is the Meyer lemon tree in my backyard

Country Stars Without Their Hats

Billy Dukes — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 07:00:36 +0000

Finding a male country singer without his hat on feels about as sensational as seeing a woman without her shirt. Rarely do stars like Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Zac Brown leave home without their signature head-toppers. You might be surprised to learn that plenty of them sport a pretty nice head of hair, however. Perhaps more will begin changing their look a la Chris Young, who made a statement by ditching the black cowboy hat in 2011.

The Blake Shelton concert last Friday was amazing! Shelton played great and was hilarious on stage.

Nick Romano — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:00:37 +0000

Party animals love New Year’s Eve because they get to drink themselves silly, throw glitter everywhere and dress up like babies without being thought of as creepers (in most cases, anyway). Rather than welcoming in 2012 with pictures of sloppy drunks in diapers, however, let’s instead focus on actual babies. They’re much cuter and don’t scream “Party!” every few minutes. Check out some sweet ‘Baby New Years’ below.
