In beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I present to you Summerfest. I preface this by saying that I am not at this. It is eleven days long, started last week and is going until the fourth of July.

It's got to suck to be B.B. King and be billed lower than Justin Bieber.

15 bucks a day? That's utterly insane, considering the lineup, and it's certainly more diverse than other festivals

I didn't believe the lineup, I had to google it.

I'd be there for a lot more than $15 a day, although looking at the schedule, most of the notable acts play at 10pm, so it's usually a pick one situation. That American Idols Live/NERD/Scorpions/The Bravery/YES/O.A.R./The Devil Wears Prada/Slightly Stoopid conflict is brutal.
