Summer means a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, it's sleeping in and catching up on tanning time. To others, it's camps and swimming, biking and running. To me, summer means I have time to participate in my favorite activity: going to concerts. I usually try to go to the cheap/free local concerts, but last year I had the opportunity to go to the Sasquatch!Music Festival (not technically summer, but I'm counting it) This year I'm hoping to go to Bumbershoot in Seattle. Summer festivals are a hallowed American pastime and I highly suggest you surf the net and find one near your city. Festivals give you the chance to see bands from all over for a relatively low price and to hang out with some great people who share the same musical interests as you. Below are some links for finding out about some festivals.

Have you ever been to a music/art festival? What was your experience? Any fun/funny stories to share?
Read. Think. Type. Rock.

Haha...that's a great story. There are so many stories from Sasquatch, I don't even know where to start! My friends and I were watching Michael Franti and Spearhead, and this guy behind us was talking to all of his hippie friends in that slow chill hippie tone and he said,
