Good morning. As you head off to yet another day of TPS reports, just be thankful you live on the part of the East Coast not spending today bracing for Snowpocalypse II: The Re-Blizzarding.

The performers are as blandly mainstream as one would expect for this kind of thing, with a few highlights — including Meat Loaf! Meat Loaf is playing a food festival! How awesomely meta is that? Do not squander this opportunity for the world's best music-and-food pairing, Busch Gardens. Just don't.
