Hey guess what? I was one of the dudes in the long line to get in this year! I hope whoever did that got canned. Waited to long. Got in to see Death From Above 1979, however, so it was all good.

On the other, you had a show going on inside that spanned many generations. What was it? Well, it was The Monkees. An American answer to the Beatles that comprised of some actor-musicians. It started out as a show and turned into an actual band. They were touring again and I just had to see them. Continue reading Hey! Hey! Those Were The Monkees!
