Thank Boosh It's Friday!

Today is a really big day! Not only are the Blackhawks having their Stanley Cup celebration (sorry Trey), the World Cup has started, and Phish starts their summer tour! I won't be at the show tonight, but I will see ten shows, so I am not that upset. Bonnaroo kicked off last night and don't forget to check out their webcast schedule. I am working on a new template for the site, so look for some changes.

Hump Day Happenings

Coachella, the first big music festival of the season will go down this weekend in Indio, CA. The festival has officially sold out, which isn't surprising considering the lineup is pretty kick-ass! The organizers of both Coachella and Stagecoach took a few tips from Phish and hope to make their festivals even better. Tomorrow, I am going to see Elton John at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates. It should be a fantastic show. Don't forget that SS&S is on Facebook & Twitter.
