Washington Park Summer Festival

This week and next - every night in the Rose Garden amphitheater at Washington Park - some great free music and more. It's too bad this setting isn't used as much anymore for music, as it is one of the best outdoor venues in the city. But for two weeks every August it is, so get out for at least one or two. Because of funding issues this annual series almost didn't happen, so come out and support it.

Storm Large will be singing a song (maybe more?) with Devin Phillips at Washington Park on the 8th. I think her web site says "Washington Square" but we know better...
