when i used to live in the ‘burbs, going to the Arts, Beats and Eats ^[1] festival up in Pontiac was the festival to go to, but now that i live in the city, i don’t even consider heading out there in light of the Detroit Jazz Festival ^[2]… having gone to both, they have totally different feels… ABE is a whole bunch of stuff (hence the name) where DJF is like a certain type of music with some food… i’ll take the DJF over the ABE anyday… better music (IMO) and Pontiac ain’t got nothin’ on the D…

so what are your guys’ thoughts on these festivals??? does anyone go to both??? which one do you prefer??? i wish they didn’t put them on the same weekend because maybe more people would go to both if they were on different weekends???
