Anyone going? I just found out that I'm going the 1st 2 nights to see Tom Petty/Pearl Jam. Any good experiences going there? What is there to do during the day since the shows don't start til 7:30?

Music on the side stages usually starts at noon with local and smaller national acts with no fees other than your summerfest admission. There are at least six side stages (probably more) with all types of music. Also plenty to eat and other things to do other than music. Just go to www.summerfest.com for more info.

You should check out Guster. There are a few other great band, but they're probably the least known of the big bands playing, and they're great live...

i started a thread in other, but maybe you can help me out. i'll probably have 5-6 hours to kill in Milwaukee. Any suggestions on something to do that is kind of touristy

Do the Miller Brewery tour. It is free and you get some free beer also.
