Per the Dally: Yes, "we ain't young anymore...", but I don't recognize many of the performers! Not a problem, though. Might discover some impressive new acts, and the vibe is always great. Will try not to be brought down by the ruined Forest Arms spectacle. Peace to all, and if you have not done the Dally, give it a try the Saturday after Labor Day.

Did the State Fair yesterday.
Going to watch the Tigers loose in the afternoon on Sunday, then cheer myself up bar hoping around the Jazz Fest and river walk for the rest of the day/evening.

I have been wanting to check out the Dally for a few years now, and if all stays as planned, this should be the year!

Dtowncitylover: We'll be there (Renaissance Fest in Holly, MI) on Sunday too with 9 people. I'm growing my beard out for the "pirate-look" and dressing up (or down?) since it's Buccaneer BBQ BeerFest.
