Busy buzzings all around...the port-a-potties are being bussed in, the vendors are dusting their shelves, the roads are getting hotter and the bands are lugging gear into vans only to have their access to the stage hindered by the throngs of bustling bodies - the air is thick with humidity and body odor and beer and smoke and feedback...

It's either 40 years ago, and it's Woodstock - or it's this upcoming weekend, in the Metro area..., what could be one of the most daunting weekends we've ever faced, in terms of entertainment option - and huddled populace

Down the list....

There's also Scarlet Oaks at Northern Lights Lounge (Aug 15)




and The Rue Moor Counts at the Lager House (Aug 15)




and then also, though I'm not sure I need to mention it - there's the mess of babyboomers with buffed and belching cars, clogging up the main drag of transportation...reliving the bygone days of their 20's, whilst the actual days of other people's 20's, (those whom are actually in their 20's) have to stand on the side line and let the nostalgia and consumerism orgy precede.

That's all happening between now and Sunday...

get some sleep these quiet few days...we're about to take the plunge!
