...Another leafy green forested area with a Rock N Roll Center deep inside. What is it about a forest that inspires the rock?

Breaking news: Blink-182 has pulled out of this show, but the rest of the bands are rocking onward. We have no other details at this time.

Post show wrap up - a very last minute change in plans due to the death of Travis Barker's close friend DJ AM caused Blink to pull out of todays show at the last second. Everything was all set up and people were already coming in to see the show, so hastily laid plans were made to turn this show in to a Weezer headliner show, with refunds available to those who did not want that. It appears most people stayed to rock out as the place looked pretty full, and weezer did their best to step up into the headline slot, adding 4 songs to the set list (which inspired some quick rehearsals in the dressing room), and doing their best to go all out under unexpected circumstances. Things went over very well in the end - a big rock show!
