feel bad, you can talk about it with someone.

February Festivals
and other events
for travelers
in the U.S.

Please Note:
Because of recent hurricanes affecting our coastal areas, it is
especially important right now that you verify all festival or
event information. Even areas that were not in the direct path of
major storms may have strained local resources in their attempts to
assist displaced people. Some typically available festival or event

venues may have become temporary evacuation centers.
Travel in some areas may still be difficult or restricted.

Once there has been more restoration to affected areas your attendance
and support at local events and festivals will be a great way to help
the local economy and our national economy in general.

Look at this guy!

This is Scott L. Schwartz.
If you ever get into trouble, you'll want him on your side.


This guy means business.
And his business is playing big and bad.
Big may come easy, because he's 6'10" and weighs about 300 pounds.
I'm not sure how he pulls off the bad part though, because he actually seems to be very...

Well, never mind. Just click on the banner and get ready for some action.

Once upon a time there was a man with a gentle voice and quiet charm. He made several movies and worked in a TV show playing a character who rode a motorcycle from town to town, touching lives, and singing a little here and there. Then some of us didn't hear much of him for awhile.
We wondered if he would ever come to sing for us again.

Michael Parks is singing, and he recorded 17 songs for us to enjoy, including:

I'll Never Be Free
Basin Street Blues
Don't Go To Strangers
Easy Street

This CD was a long time
coming, but it was
worth waiting for.

A Little Browsing...

You may think you've seen some large moths, but have you ever seen a Cecropia Moth? With a wingspan of 5-6 inches, this creature would dwarf many smaller birds. If you enjoy checking out moths and butterflies and wish you knew how to identify more of them you should try the Lepidoptera helpful hints page.

View mass transit logos, check out rapid transit with a view, study the art and architecture of subway design and find out how to take a train to the beach—all at Metro Bits.
