Now that all the music festivals are over, the traffic around here is going to be extra bad tonight and tomorrow as tens of thousands of fans try to get home. I cannot believe how many cars are on I-24. It’s bumper to bumper gridlock and no alternate route. the dog tired, hot and hungry people leaving Bonnaroo have it the worst. I feel bad for you if you are stuck in this traffic nightmare.
Music Festivals
This week is a big one for music festivals. The 10th Annual CMA Music Festival is going on in Nashville. They used to call the event, “Fan Fair,” but a few years ago the “suits” decided to try for a bigger money grab and expand the music genre beyond just Country Music. Most people don’t like that – but what can you do?
The other big event around here is the same week – how stupid was that scheduling? – about an hour south of town: Bonnaroo. This festival brings thousands of music fans of all genres and all ages to a big field with a dozen temporary stages for a week long music fest.
Short Week
Even though today is Tuesday, it feels like Monday since yesterday was a holiday and no one had to work. So today we have to double up and work harder to catch up on all the stuff we should have done yesterday. That makes it harder on everyone, but i did appreciate having the day off. It’s just that no one should have to deal with two Mondays in the same week.
