SUMMER FESTIVAL UPDATE '08: June 27-29

Fun, fun, fun all summer long!

The summer music festival circuit keeps chugging through the month June. This weekend features one of the biggies, so big in fact it's billed as the world's largest music festival. Midwesterners know exactly what I'm talking about: Summerfest--a music festival so massive it'll be included in next week's Summer Festival '08 Update.

(left: Summerfest, it all goes down here in Milwaukee, WI.)

Eleven days of music with just about everyone you can imagine on the bill (well, no, the reunited Led Zeppelin's not playing, but just about everyone else is). If four days of SXSW wears me out, I could only imagine what 11 days of Summerfest would do to me.
