Back at the Murray Arts Stage, the delicately dour sounds of Kyle Feerick-the only non-youth band currently playing at the unabashedly top-heavy affair-provide apt aural accompaniment to the warm rain forcing onlookers to audibly question their choice of attire.Ģ:39 p.m. – Rivaling the “Techno is for lovers” rooftop partiers from two weekends back, we happen upon these fucking guys ruining vendors’ lives and confusing everybody with their two-man Radio Flyer dance party, gesturing erratically to a Britney Spears song.Ģ:19 p.m. Anything to offset the staggering Milwaukee Home shirt count, which we’ve already abandoned at this point.Ģ:04 p.m. – Keeping in unofficial festival season tradition, we give into temptation and buy that Wiskullsin shirt we’ve been eying since Locust Street Festival. – Beer in hand, we observe a foam weapon-wielding demonstration from our pals at Magnetag.Ģ:01 p.m. Fortunately, we quickly find a libation loophole-$2 Lakefront IPAs (among various other beers) at Two Bucks bar, served in a plastic cup for easy transport.ġ:51 p.m. – Speaking of Miller Lite, we aren’t taken by the $5 toll for a Lite, Summer Shandy, or Blue Moon.
