No Festivus for the rest of us: So the yahoos at Yahoo!Buzz (the Web engine's pop culture site that keeps track of stuff like who is the most Google'd American Idol performer, etc.) recently tallied up which summer music fests are the most popular, Top 10-style, and guess what? Not a single Texas fest made the list. If you're interested, notable festivals that made the list include jamfest Bonnaroo (June 14-17, Manchester, Tennessee), which made No. 3; the stupidly named Summerfest (June 28-July 8, Milwaukee), which was No. 2; the even more stupidly named Virgin Festival (August 4-5, Baltimore—Does anyone else think "Virgin Festival" sounds like some sort of ancient sacrifice ritual?) and numero uno (well, duh, tickets are free) is Ozzfest, which arrives at the Smirnoff Center August 2. (It's a traveling festival, not Texas-based.) What, no Austin City Limits? Texas, we gotta represent.
