just when I thought the festival were over

This has been a summer of festivals in Fort Wayne, with music and food just about every weekend. This weekend one of the oldest festivals, The Johnny Appleseed Festival is going on but that happens several miles from my apartment so no noise to contend with here.  However, the powers that be decided that we needed at least one more new festival downtown so this weekend, starting this evening, is the Middle Wave music festival featuring several national and even more local bands, mostly rock, performing on three different stages all within walking distance of my apartment. It's a little expensive, tickets for all of the concerts cost $75 but the bands do sound better that any others I've heard this summer. This evening a girlfriend and I passed a pleasant few hours - being too cheap to buy tickets - sitting on my balcony and listening to the concert for free.  This worked really well for me because I think most of these bands are better heard from a distance.  That's my old foggieism showing again.
