This summer has been a good one in terms of musical events but it would seem mother nature is not a fan. Everyone was excited to hear No Doubt would be going on tour, but New Jersey may have been disappointed by the lack of sun for their PNC date in June. A similar complaint could also be shared for those who attended All Points West (or tried to anyway). Hopefully Blink 182 will be able to break this cycle with their August 26th performance at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. My ticket has been sitting in a safe spot all summer, just waiting for the opportunity to make the day of this self-proclaimed music junkie. While I am hoping for the best, I can’t ignore Jersey’s track record so far with outdoor events. That is why I am thinking of contracting someone to start building me an ark. You know what they say, “Better safe than sorry.”
