The Rock Garden Tour lockout is nearing an end. We've learned a lot, mostly about changing diapers. We also learned that cute baby clothes aren't nearly as cute when you're trying to put them on a crying baby. We've learned other things too. For example, people that talk about 'thinking outside the box' have no idea how fun it is to think 'inside of the box.' I have first hand knowledge of this, as you can see from the above photo. You can see it in the below photo as well.
Huge show about curcubita last night on KCFS 94.5, though I do wish I could have tracked down a few more rock-n-roll tunes about squash. The critics are going to chew us up and spit us out over that one, as if our little radio show was nothing more than some under cooked warted hubbard squash, which really isn't all that bad if you can believe it. Some high points from the show: a sonic adventure to Squash Mosh 2010, haiku poetry, we defined the term squarsh, and the Rock Garden Tour Family Band performed a tune inspired by the sunshine squash (see above), the show also featured some intense free range rock and roll (see below).

Here's an example of the Rock Garden Tour's journalistic ability. We broke a story about the horrors of pumpkin chucking in Delaware. If you have a weak stomach you may want to sit this one out.
