How about a military officer mascot? Colonel ByLaw, maybe? Aloha, Brad

Well, at least you had a fan, even if you didn't become one. For me, it was the P&A show I enjoyed the most out of the four or five times that I've seen them, but I find that their live show spends too much time in thunderous sound territory; if they'd back off a bit, I think I'd enjoy their show more. The highlight for me yesterday was Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba; it was one of those shows where the fun the musicians were having playing, listening to, and dancing to, the music was severely infectious. Tonight, Chiwoniso (Black Sheep tent, 6:00pm) looks like a good way to start the night off. Old Crow Medicine Show (MBNA stage, 7:00pm) is a must-see for me, with my night capped off by Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band (Hard Rock stage, 9:30pm). Aloha, Brad

Jim Byrnes, maybe? He's playing tonight (Barney Danson theatre, 7:00pm). Aloha, Brad

Tonight, I'm planning on starting off with Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba (Black Sheep tent, 6:15pm), but I'd like to catch some of Lukas Nelson (Claridge stage, 6:00pm), too. I'm also looking forward to Steve Winwood (Claridge stage, 8:00pm), and then probably Plants & Animals (Subway stage, 9:30pm), with some enough Santana (MBNA stage, 9:30pm) mixed in. Aloha, Brad

Has anyone tried the new place in Hintonburg called Hintonburger? There's a review of it here, and it sounds pretty good. Aloha, Brad

What are people excited to see tonight? I'm looking forward to Brothers Chaffey (Claridge Stage, 6pm) and Sarah Harmer (Claridge Stage, 8pm). Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, Mark! Aloha, Brad

I'm thinking of having dinner at the fest tonight. Does anyone have any recommendations? Aloha, Brad

There's a cool thing happening at the theatre this weekend (Friday and Saturday nights, 9:00pm): Mayfair Theatre Presents Night of The Living Dead Live. Aloha, Brad
