I know I posted the entire Blues Festival lineup the other day, but I want to keep posting what’s going on for the rest of the weekend.  It’s a great festival and you should really try to attend if you can.  There are some great musical acts despite the fact that the festival is now only three days instead of four.

Chicago does festivals right.  It opens this weekend with the Blues Festival and then there is Lollapalooza in the middle and it ends with the Jazz Festival at the end of the season. 

So, here’s the lineup, from the website linked above, for Saturday and Sunday:
