UrRock Festival today.  We had a bunch of kids watching the soundcheck today, which was fun. Nice venue. Good coffee. Grey, dull weather today. Not cold, but a kind of humid chill in the air.  They had arranged food trucks…

Today’s venue is Kubana and it’s one of my favorites. It has a spa facility in the same building, it’s awesome! Different saunas, jacuzzi, outdoor pool. We were there for a few hours, sooo relaxing.  The venue coffee was on…
