FestBlog 2009: Pregnant Kathleen Edition (Day 1)

It's Musikfest 2009! For those of you who don't know about Musikfest... it's a ten-day music festival in our town, including eight stages of free music - only a ten minute walk from our house.

Festing won't be like it's been in the last few years, but Kathleen and I are planning to enjoy the festival no matter what this year (unless a certain someone comes a little early). With Kathleen being home every day now and not able to do much, she's been a little antsy. So, we're going to try to get her out to a concert or two each day, so she can get a little fresh air. I'm planning on taking half-days at work this week. We have one or two "low-key" concerts picked out for each day - mostly bands that we've seen at past Musikfests.(That's Volksplatz in the picture - one of the free music stages)

We were actually able to get out tonight after the rain, even though the weathermen were calling for the great deluge tonight. I think they said 60-80% chance of thunderstorms all night with up to 5 inches of rain. It didn't rain after 6pm (when the festival started).

So tonight, I dropped pregnant Kathleen off downtown, drove the car home, and then walked down to meet her. I didn't want to pay $10 for parking... but I might pay it one or more of the days this week. We also might take the bus downtown one day.

Anyway, we had a nice little walk around the festival and caught a few minutes of a few shows. Here's what we saw...

A Dixieland band @ the Main Street Stage.

Sarah Ayers (local blues band) @ Americaplatz

Donovan-Roberts Band (local blues/jazz band) @ Liederplatz

So... the question is... will Mr. Owen come during Musikfest? Or will he wait until his due date?(which is two weeks from today!)
