If it's too loud, you're too old.




A. Welcome back. I finally have internet working on my computer again and am therefore, unfortunately, no longer living in midieval times. I will continue to eat massive legs of chicken though, drink out of chalices, and yell HAZAA!!! after hearing a good song for the first time.

2. The snow is brown. It's cold out. And miserable. So let's think about the summer, renting RVs, road trips to music festivals, sleeping in tents, portable bro bbqs, bathing in lazy rivers, showering in spickets, silent discos, and dancing barefoot in the grass to the music of our favorite artists.

D. With that said-- I woke up this morning extremely pumped about concert festivals. I could have done a review on Umphrey's McGee, which was absolutely phenomenal, but instead I'm going to do what I want and post the concert festival opportunities coming up this summer. HAAZZZAAAAAAAAA

Don't be afraid to make some noise now...






"Let me first say how wonderful it feels to know that it's 2007, and we just launched into a slow blues, and 7,000 people went nuts. All is not lost." - John Mayer
