It's raining...and it's to be expected sadly.

It's Musikfest time. For those in the Lehigh Valley it's 10 days of music and fun. For some perhaps....for other's it's 10 days of dealing with tourists, drunks, no parking and aggravation. Some people take vacation this time of year to get AWAY from the mess. How bad is it? So bad that it's been discussed banning alcohol from the event because people can't handle the fact that open containers are permitted in public...that and underage drinking. One of the most recent stories on Lehigh Valley News goes right along with that - Three people at Musikfest cited with underage drinking during Pennsylvania State Police patrol I'm fairly certain this happens every year but never having gone...I can't say for sure. You get a group of people and alcohol together ... stuff happens.

What's another "yep, that'll happen" moment associated with Musikfest? Rain and not just showers but flooding. Musikfest 2012 ready to resume as National Weather Service calls for heavy rain, flooding - UPDATE

You can practically guarantee it'll rain a good part of the time that Musikfest is happening. Why? It's odd actually but I wonder if anyone actually has a record kept to see if it's true that it always seems to rain during the 'fest'.


Sadly there'll be no festing for me this year as today was the only day I could go. I looked forward to the food which is what most people speak of. The music of course but THE FOOD.
