Wwarrgghh! Oh my goodness. Why couldn't my dad have decided to move to Minnesota instead of Washington?!

[HMMingBird]

I'm pretty sure they did that for the people who have Memorial Day off...This is a supreme line up I wish they would have got a headliner as good as last year...Dilated Peoples! However, the rest of the line up is as good, take that back, better than last year (Heirospecs! POS! Cunninlynguists! Immortal Technique! Toki Wright.. What?!?!) Go MPLS Hip Hop!
