[sophisticated sissy]

Great line up, but it's been sold out forever, practically. You going?

I only go if it's somewhere close. Went to the one in Columbus & the one in Indy. But I always donate to this most important cause. So they send me emails every year- and I post the line up here. I wish everyone would consider the plight of the family farmer and especially how it pertains to the food that is available to us. It's not the same food it used to be...

YYR, Bry! No FrankenFood for me!

For those high-tech modern peeps who can't make it, I just saw this:
