  1. it's a pretty good line up, certainly better than Disney ever comes up with, but I usually need a top notch act that I'd absolutely love before I will battle the MESS that is US crowd control. They are AWFUL about it around the stage area. It's a completely disorganized mess. They need to take a page from Disney's playbook and set up people with light things directing traffic. Otherwise it's just a complete disaster.

    I fought the crowd for Kelly Clarkson, but no one on the list this year would make me fight a crowd.

  2. KC & the Sunshine Band rocked last night to a crowd of all ages. It was great to see moms and dads, grand dads, and kids rockin' to KC's past hits. Earlier, in the French Quarter section, Bryan Lee and the Blues Power Band rocked the streets in a block party setting. They also set-up and played on the City Walk Plaza stage later around 10pm.

  3. Ken, thanks for the report. I wanted to see KC but had the conflict with Oakenfold.

    Hope to see you out at the PI Reunion next Saturday night at ADH!
