    Thanks for the compliment LoveOnTheRun, but I am not with the band...only paying for them...and thanks for the back handed compliment DB. Is that an evil laugh I hear from ya?

    No...there will not be any "back stage" opportunities ddrdan. However, the acts in the past have always been available after the show to hock their merchandise and sign autographs. No guarantees, but it would surprise me if they didn’t.

    With the concert being free, I would advise everyone to come out early. Remember, this is city property and there is no alcohol allowed. Sorry. There is a great opening act called The Newz that opens at 6:00PM. Check them out at www.thenewz.net
