Personal Part
I'm in one of the bands that will be playing that night, Northern Lighting. Should be a really good time. Cheap cover, pool, cheap drafts, video games for those that need their fix, and just a rockin' good time. See you there! As always, I have tons of crash space at the crib, bring pillows and blankets and inflatable mattresses\mats and I'll make sure theres a place for you to crash out. Yes I'm talking to you Muskegonites, Grand Haven\Rapidsers and Lansing areaers
