There is too much to exclaim about next weekend. It'sRest Fest at St. Joe's Church in downtown Albany. (And this is the t-shirt! There's a white version, too.) See the whole line-up here and know that I'll be there the entire time because I'm the co-emcee! Shall we listen to some music together? YES!! Even if you can only come for a little bit, I promise it will be worth it. I truly promise.
