Well, so much for a casual and enjoyable Blues Festival. It's over! It will prove to be a nightmare at the new site. What's wrong with keeping it at CSULB? I don't get this town?

Despite Mr. Grobaty's objections, this is a very good idea. What a beautiful place to sit and listen to great music. The real question is where to move it once it becomes too large for the lagoon? Perhaps while officials are deciding what to do with the property around the Queen Mary, they could keep in mind that some kind of larger venue will be needed for larger events.
