It bothers me when people laugh at other people's choices of music. When they chuckle as Ace of Base comes on an iTunes shuffle and the owner of the music device scrambles to hit "skip," all the while wishing that he or she could find out where that damn sign that the band saw was. I mean, if their eyes were opened, why not yours? But then there is the chuckle, chuckle, giggle that someone will be doing, most likely right behind me, pointing. This is not a funny subject. That is why here at Street we are doing something that has never been done in our recent collective memories. We are hosting a free concert where all can come and a) get down, b) shake their grove thaaangs (like Polaroid pictures) and most importantly c) not be laughed at, chuckled at, or made a fool of because of their love of sweet sounds. Yes, this will be a forum for lovers of music and lovers of FUN, life, love, and liberty in general (we left out property, but that too). If you do not come, you will probably be perceived as a hater of all of those things. You will most likely lose friends, alienate yourself from loved ones, and be publicly shunned and humiliated. So it is our recommendation that you come to the concert and let loose. STREETAPALOOZA. How could you even consider missing a concert that has six - yes, six! - vowels in its title? I mean, for the sake of Vana White, you should come. That said, this week's Street is dedicated to enjoying the time that you spend outside of the library and the facebook.com. We have pieces on good cookin' people (Food and Drink, pg.6), how to throw a fabOlous party (Ego, pg.8) and an invitation to a free concert that can be best described in a haiku: Streetapalooza The wind whispers: free concert And Street is at peace.
See you there or miss out. BIG TIME. Big like China big. We're not talking Latvia here, we are talking one billion people sized awesomeness. Nobody misses China. Nobody.
