I've been neglecting to mention that during the Jaialdi 2005 I met one amazing fella. His name is Jon and he keeps a website called JonQ.
Jon is a Mexican American of Basque background who along with his siblings decided to assist to this year's Jaialdi in Boise to get soaked into the whole Basque American experience.
We met on a fluke, when a fellow reveler stopped his brother Charlie in the middle of the street to inform him that the symbol he was sporting on his chest was a Lauburu. Am I glad my Bilbotarra friend decided to point that out to a fella that was surrounded by lauburus at the time, because if it had not been for that, maybe we wouldn't have talked to each other on the first day of the Jaialdi just to find out that we already knew each other from our internet forays into Euskal Herria.
To make a long story short, Jon took some incredible pictures of the event, which he posted at his site, follow this link to see them, you are in for a treat:
