Come downtown for the MidPoint music, enjoy the urban experience and move your feet -- but save your shoe leather for the dance floors. With so many bands to see each evening in a variety of clubs, festival organizers have devised the Scion Streetcar Shuttle to get you around quickly.  

The 2008 MidPoint Music Festival is upon us, so get ready for three nights of sublime entertainment from the best local, regional and international musicians ever to congregate in this region during one weekend.   

I squinted as I surveyed the scene toward the west. The sky was bright blue, people milled around, music wafted in from several places and the smell of grilled sausages and tangy barbecue was everywhere. I closed my eyes and inhaled the scene, literally and figuratively.
