This Saturday, September 27, Schnepf Farms ^[1] will once again host a major valley event. The Edge 103.9 ^[2] is putting on Edgefest 2008 ^[3] and I will be taking my 14 year old son, which is a bit overwhelming to think about.
If you have been reading my posts so far, you can tell I am a little bit outside the mainstream. I have eclectic tastes, but on the radio I tend to listen to mainly alternative. The Edge is pretty much the only alternative station left after several flag changes from the others. I am not thrilled about Adam Carolla ^[4] in the morning, but as long as they keep the Ska Punk show ^[5], I will keep listening.
As for the show, my son is going to see the Flobots ^[6], I am going to see Gogol Bordello ^[7] & Flogging Molly ^[8], and Chris is a fan of NOFX ^[9] from way back.

I will have trouble making up my mind, because the line up is awesome ^[10]:
