Rock on the Range 2012
Columbus Crew Stadium – Columbus, OH
5/19-5/20
For the fourth year in a row, a big group of us headed to Columbus Ohio for Rock on the Range. For those that don’t know, ROTR is a two and a half day festival held each year that features over 40 bands, three stages, and averages about 70,000 in ticket sales for the weekend. This year’s lineup was as good as ever, and was true to the typical ROTR strategy of bringing in pretty much every type of band imaginable.
It’s been way too long since I’ve written a blog. These past few months have been crazy – they’ve seen me finish a master’s degree, my wife and I finish the nursery, and my job continue ramp up in activity. I regret that I didn’t get more content out in the past month, but that just means I have a ton on my mind now.
Primarily on my mind is the highly anticipated yearly four day music festival called Rock on the Range. In two short days, a group of 9 of my close friends and I will be heading to Columbus, Ohio to see almost 40 bands.
So, while I’m stranded in the Kansas City airport on a work trip, what better way to reintroduce myself to the world of blogging than a ROTR version of the Hour of Music that I debuted in March? This hour will help me frame some the questions that will be answered this weekend, and give me a last minute chance to brush up on the bands that I can look forward to.
I have 72 minutes until my plane leaves. Let’s do this kids!!
