“Hi. I went to the DT Live show, did you?”
For the most part I had fun. As a person who lives DT, I am always in my element at any event DT. I realize this was the first year of this event, and I hope they continue. For the most part, it went off without a hitch, some of the things I enjoyed about the event were;
• Economical. The ticket price was $10 for three local acts and a national headliner.
• Location. Since nobody is snagging up that Phillips to the Falls land anytime soon, it is a good place to put on an outdoor concert.
But If I was handed a survey on what to improve on, this is what I would say;
• A few more porta potties, but no a major problem.
• Make the event all day, more local bands.
• Better sound quality. It seemed it was too distorted and the sound quality could have been better.
• SUPPLY BIKE RACKS. Please supply a bike valet.
• More food vendors. (even though Uncle Ed’s pork sandwiches are fucking delicious) we need more.
Unfortunately the yuppies aren’t going away…and they usually have the money (although they don’t want to spend it either)…I agree..sometimes it get to be such a fashion pallet…it makes me puke a bit in my mouth…yuk!
Did you attend? It was like an army of them.
Reminds me of this song (who I dedicate to Sy);

Pretty sure I’m at odds with the Conservative Christian crew on about 80% of their Social platform. Swing and a miss.
As for DT Live, run all those “yuppies” off and you’ll have a money losing show that won’t ever return. Why don’t you try putting your politics aside for a day and just enjoy the music & atmosphere. Common ground can be a good thing.
tommy bahama shirts, and the knock-offs are still bad fashion.
Sy- I did put my politics aside. I stayed and took in the sweet smells of trophy wife hairspray, Drakkar and John Morrells.
I’d rather be surrounded in guys sporting Tommy Bahama shirts with pleated khakis and sandals (socks optional) than a bunch of guys wearing wife beaters and jean shorts that hang below the knee and start about 6 inches south of the waist (exposing their lovely boxers for all to see).
The comment about Drakkar is spot on though… it is either that or a splash of Polo (apparently they didn’t get the memo that Polo stopped being popular back in 1992).
Costner I agree with you, or shorts that are so long, you can’t tell if they are shorts or long pants that have been outgrown. lol I also agree about some of the clothes that girls and women wear.
It’s all good when the music comes to town…it’s just that sometimes the “trophy” people could tone it down a bit especially when they come to slum with the regular people…
I didn’t think people still wore pleated shorts – except for old men who wear them with dark socks and loafers/sandals.
The Tommy Bahama shirts have their purpose, though: covering up your gut.
