enough of that fat gasbag. It's a nice day out, and Bummerfest approaches apace. It's about time to order tix and start to flesh out a schedule.

The Rock Stage has a new sponsor. Zippo. I like that- Zippo Rock Stage. It sounds good. As I think, the rock stage fans are probably the predominant customers for the lighters. They'll be having the Gufs there on the final night, and Collective Soul on another.

The Old 97's and Son Volt will be playing at the Potowatomi stage on the 7th- that should be good.
