From 8-9 p.m. attendees can make their way to the main stage for a free concert by Dinosaur Jr. Formed in Amherst, Massachusetts, the post-punk band has had a cult following since releasing their debut album in 1987 and proved widely influential to the alternative rock scene of the ’90s, including heavy-hitters such as Nirvana and Radiohead — for their first album, at least. Once they were signed to Sire Records in 1991, Dinosaur Jr. had their mainstream breakthrough, joining the Lollapalooza tour in 1993 and becoming a fixture on alternative stations and MTV’s “120 Minutes” through songs such as “Feel the Pain” and “Start Choppin’.”
Cannon said a few different artists were considered, and he was thrilled that Dinosaur Jr. agreed to perform.
“Dinosaur Jr. is so entrenched in skateboarding culture, from the old Santa Cruz videos to all the Alien Workshop videos,” he said. “They are synonymous with skateboarding, so it just made so much sense.”
Cannon believes the event will have a wide appeal for everyone from skaters to artists to music lovers.
“It’s truly going to be an event unlike anything Santa Cruz, the town, has ever seen,” he said.

In Vail, CO, there's a coffee shop called "Yeti's Grind"...I thought the Yeti's Grind was getting stabbed regularly.

Are we arguing over who has the best dirt water?

I bought the Yeti some Yeti Blend coffee. I think the complaint was that it tasted too much of Yeti.

Not a *complaint*, just an accurate expert observation, seconded by my Henchman.

[Drunk Monk]

In what universe is “too much yeti” not a complaint?

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Oh, DM, you can never have too much of a good thing.

[Drunk Monk]

I beg to differ

So many good things must be taken in moderation. It reduces the lifelong scarring.

I would never second guess you on coffee.

Nonsense. As William Morris once said: "Only a man who has experienced excess can know how much is enough."

[Greg]

As Stro and Charlie Selberg have said, you won't know how far you can go until you have gone too far.

[King Bob]

William Blake said "The road of Excess leads to the palace of Wisdom"

Speaking of dirt water, I just read that SF was rated best US city for coffee, followed by Portland in 2nd place

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Blake! Sorry.

At least my coffee bias got confirmed. Thank you, Dr. Bob

[Drunk Monk]

Ballooning spiders? 

Whole lotta nope right here.
