i think they're pretty much done, sad as it is.  i guess they're all involved with side projects and family and stuff.  a real shame, considering how good the last couple of albums were, but at least they went out on top.

I love Fort Reno...sound is usually crap, but still.  How cool is it that we get to see Bob Mould and the Dismemberment Plan for free?

Mankie, I always see families at Fort Reno shows. Definitely come with the kids. It's a very inclusive event.
 
 I think it's a really good line up this year. Though I mourn the lack of Fugazi. In terms of the less-recognized bands, check out The Out Circuit. And I will definitely be at the Carlsonics show. If you haven't seen them, you should.

Yes, I can back-up Kurosawa about both The Out Circut and The Carlsonics. Both are worth checking out.
 
 Thirsty, why don't you 'borrow' Rory now and then for some babe action? Mankie and the Mrs get a night to themselves and you get to play daddy.

Excellent point Jag!  So, I guess kiddies beget more kiddies?

I'm not sure what the logic is, but the story holds true. When I watch my nephew and take him around, the women flock.  Train him to call you "Uncle Thirsty" or something else cute that explains he's not yours and it's a done deal.

Unfortunately, this tactic does not work for women.    
 
 Now, if a woman wants to repel men, take a baby along.

as for kids at shows: keep in mind the volume issues.  children's ears are still developing for the first several years of life, and are much more vulnerable to permanent damage.  earplugs or headphones are a must, even at what you would consider low levels for a concert.  you may choose to damage your own hearing, but don't do it to your kids.

This is very, very true! Not to mention the cigarette smoke and possibly moshing crowds.
 
 Know you environment and your baby's needs!

I thought dogs were what women used as ammo?

 In DC they use nasty, bitchy insulting comments.
