What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 14, 2007 at 10:18 a.m.

Summerfest, it seems, isn't on the New York Times radar.

A Sunday special section called "Summer Stages" on nytimes.com and inside the print edition of the New York daily featured previews of many of this summer's music, theater and dance festivals.

The music festivals guide, titled "In a Stadium, Or in a Pool, Bands Galore," previewed 35 music festivals in 12 states and Canada. Nowhere in the extensive list was there even a mention of the World's Greatest Music Festival, Milwaukee's own Summerfest. And, Wisconsin, as a whole, didn't receive a single mention in any of the guides.

Come on, New York! We have one of the longest running (11 days) and most diverse music festivals around and it's the 40th Anniversary this year!

How about a little love?
