Springtime is here to bring in the new and familiar.

The 17th annual Festival of Beers returns and, of course, Bakotopialand is ready to party - for a good cause! Bakotopia has been a proud sponsor of the fest since ‘06 and during the past few years, we’ve learned a lot about this band of friends.

Not only are they determined to make this event bigger and better each year - they really believe in their cause to raise money for local children’s charities.

I can remember when the rains came down years ago during the fest’s early days, or when the girls jumped onstage when my band Mento Buru performed and bedlam ensued.

Now in 2009, the event continues to be one of the city’s best annual shindigs. You don’t wanna miss it! Enter to win FREE tix to the Festival of Beers at this link, then stop by our booth and say, “Yo!”

In this issue we also have a review of First Fridays in downtown, Marijuana legalization commentary, Paid Dues 2009, and so much more!

Thanks to this week’s contributors, and to our advertisers who keep these pages free for you and yours always.

See you at the Festival of Beers on April 25 - don’t forget your tie-dye!
