Noticing the trend of blogs getting more hits when mentioning politics or nudity, I couldn’t resist. People are weird that way, and I have to try to cash in on that.

Rift 36 Hour Contest #6 – Tonight 10/8 at the Bryant Lake Bowl – 6:00pm.

14 songwriters at this moment are furiously working on writing a song about the topic “America”. Tonight at the Bryant Lake Bowl they will play their song. There will be politically charged songs, patriotic songs and of course probably a few funny ones. This contest should be extra special with a performer who has never written or performed a songs before from Metro magazine. Plus 3 minute egg a new video blog will be asking questions and doing a vlog about it. Come out and enjoy the action.
