Alice in Chains Damns that River
1993,The Lollapalooza tour was in Barrie, Ontario at Molson park. When it came time for Alice in Chains to hit the stage it was dark and still very hot out. I was 16 years old in the middle of a massive mosh pit, the heat was so intense I could barley breath.

Rebels take over the peaks at the Calabogie Mountain Man Festival.
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of summer. Not just the sun and the warmth but most importantly, the festival season. When the festival lineup announcements start popping up in the spring, I get all giddy and start drafting a schedule of the ones I’ll definitely be attending that year.
