Summerfest is a hot ticket—hot like a potato that’s been slow-cooked in the deepest, darkest depths of hell. As I walked a mile from my car to the Summerfest grounds—making a trek Thursday to the festival’s opening day, like the good Milwaukeean I am—I was approached by approximately 57 people who wanted to sell me tickets. Summerfest is so big, people buy tickets just to sell them at face value three blocks from the gate.

Best part of the article:

At the end of the night, and after four too many beers, I made the Summerfest equivalent of a booty call: I headed over to the M&I Classic Rock Stage to catch the end of Loverboy’s set. I wouldn’t seek out a Loverboy concert under normal circumstances, but that’s the beauty of Summerfest—it provides ample opportunity to see bands you’d only want to see after marinating in alcohol for several hours.

Sadly it does not appear that I will make to Summerfest this year. Unless I can make a switch of days/nights with the kids and partake of the fest next weekend. That's always a possibility. There's just something about drinking $7 beers and people watching on a hot day near the smelly lake that can't be beat.

Summerfest in Milwaukee rocks. We only lived there for a little over year, but it's one of the things I miss.
