I imagine by now that the concept of "Jack Radio" is fairly well-known: a format of music from the 60s to the 90s, plus "whatever" else they feel like playing. DC did have a Jack, called George, but the format changed recently. There is a Jack out of Baltimore, but the signal strength doesn't really stretch to accommodate my commute. Not that it matters, really. I'm much more prone to listening to sports radio or Don & Mike. Yesterday, however, I did discover that Baltimore's Jack 102.7 is sponsoring a concert in July: Jack Fest!
Oh my f'ing God. Are they serious? Jack Fest? Is it sponsored by Johnson & Johnson? Or Astroglide? That's whacked.
I hope the name doesn't rub anybody the wrong way. Nah, only a jerk would get bent out of shape over that. You've really got to hand it to those marketing people. You just can't beat that name.
It's a shame the lineup doesn't include Green Day, since they apparently have some affinity for choking the chicken.
I'm not going to touch the potential food vendor items. Wait, yes I am. Surely some kind of beef. Maybe salami. With mayo. Or hot dogs. I doubt they'd have bananas or cucumbers, but pickles might be available. Yeah, foodstuffs with preservatives are probably the best shot. Beef jerky, anyone?

I...have nothing to add. You said it all, bravo, wen.
I'm disappointed, Zuhn. I thought you'd whip one out.
Portland has one called Charlie. I always picture three hot women sitting around a 1970s speaker phone with that name.
Alright, I'll see if I can rub one off for you....
Nope. Guess I'm just better at Jill Fests than Jack Fests.
I guess we aren't talking about Jack Daniels, are we?
Is one supposed to pack for a Jack Fest?
Kay - I had NO idea what Jack Radio was until just now.
Being old sucks.
I read this post and all the references are not familiar to me. I live too far away or perhaps I know Jack shit.
You've really got to hand it to those marketing people.

two snaps and a twist.
People should read this.
