KISS was playing tonight, as was Our Lady Peace, and many other bands. (I knew this without looking it up, haha!) Summerfest is absolutely amazing, and they have other festivals on the Summerfest grounds: Festa Italiana, Irish Fest, Oktoberfest, something Polish, and probably a few others. Also, that's where they held the festivities for the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary party. It was awesome! Don't misunderestimate Milwaukee! :) Cellular Field is cavernous, and fairly lifeless. It really missed the boat on the "new" ballparks by a couple of years. Too bad, Chicago deserves two great ballparks. Hey, at least it has one. (Wow, a margarita guy! They didn't have that back in 2003-05!) The Cubs-White Sox rivalry can get pretty vicious. Baseball affiliation takes on a whole cultural, racial, and socio-economic element that you don't see elsewhere. It can get just as raucous as Yanks-Sawx, and can get quite violent, too. As an aside on the Cubs-Sox rivalry, when my car got robbed in Chicago many years back, they cleaned me out of absolutely everything: change in my cup holder, burned CDs in the back seat, knickknacks I had under the dash, everything. However, one of the very things left in the car was a Cubs t-shirt that I had gotten at Wrigley earlier in the day, which had been INSIDE my camera bag. Meaning, the thief opened my camera bag, saw a Cubs shirt inside, and decided to leave it. That is a devoted White Sox fan. Enjoy Milwaukee. I am so very jealous that you are in Wisconsin and I am not. Eat some cheese curds and have a Leinie's for me. (sniffle sniffle) Oh yeah, Summerfest. The biggest musical festival in the world.
