At least for the last Saturday in “Rocktober” it’s not rainy like it was last night. Cold, but not rainy! There’s always more to do and see on Saturday than Friday, and there are always more people out - because some of us are so tired after working all week we fall asleep on the couch on Friday! Good thing I rested up because there’s plenty of things to do tonight!
