I grew up in a town with an excellent music program which shaped my life immensely. I've been part of @mbird.org with setlist work on phish.net and later as a board member for the past 17 years and have tried to do my part to give back as music is one of the first things cut in school budgets.

The weather tomorrow afternoon might be “a little wild […with] scattered severe thunderstorms, heavy winds, hail, [and a] small chance of a tornado” according to a genius who often forecasts the weather, accurately. So if you attend or consume anything at this “free event” you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK
