Music Festival rescheduled, hitting Rothbury

By Lindsay Johnson · Monday, June 20, 2011

After being canceled in 2010 due to scheduling conflicts, the Rothbury Music Festival — renamed this year as Electric Forest — is back on for 2011, scheduled for June 30-July 3. REO Speedwagon, The String Cheese Incident and Pretty Lights are headlining this year. The festival, held at the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Mich., has added many new attractions this year to help boost their sales, including a water park, horseback riding and a life-size game of Mousetrap.

Last Saturday local band Black Jake and the Carnies performed songs at Woodruffs.

Ypsilanti is a unique town. That’s more a statement of fact than opinion. There are one of a kind restaurants, bars and there’s even a water tower shaped like a giant, well, you know.

Cars, music, food and a festival; Ypsi has them all

Depot Town Cruise Nights – If you’re an autophile, be sure to check out the Depot Town Cruise Nights. Set in the back drop of historic Depot Town every Thursday night, weather permitting, classic cars line the road by Sidetrack and Aubree’s. For those who aren’t so into cars, take advantage of the music that is as much of a staple in America as the cars. Making this weekly event even better is that it’s free to attend, a bonus for any cash-strapped college student. The event begins the first Thursday in June and runs through mid September.

'Bridesmaids' is beyond chick flick genre

By Katie Milewski · Monday, May 16, 2011

If you want to see a chick flick, “Bridesmaids,” isn’t for you. In spite (or maybe because) of its all female cast, this film shines as a comedy about friendship and life and is not just a movie for you and your girlfriends.
