I thought George Clinton was a better pull than Maroon 5. Kinda hope they stay in that vein.

If we don’t get to boogie down to the Boat Drink Caucus, it’ll be a disappointment. Even if they’re the opening band, going on at 3pm.

Too bad The Presidents of the United States of America broke up. It would be fitting.
