From Wikipedia:

“The HFStival was an annual Washington, D.C. / Baltimore rock festival. Held every summer from 1990 through 2006 by radio station WHFS, and held again in 2010 and 2011 in commemoration of the now-defunct station’s legacy, the HFStival was at its peak the largest yearly music festival on the East Coast, drawing 55,000 to 90,000 people. It was held at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. from 1993 to 2004, after which the station moved it to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.”

STAY TUNED.

Super sad news out of Catania Bakery over the winter. Thanks to Eric for sharing from their FB:

“Sadly, we must let you all know that we lost a great lady on Saturday, February 3rd. Nicole is now with her beloved Tony, and our other family who went before her. We love and miss her more than words can say.”

I had the pleasure of meeting with Nicole back in 2011, and she couldn’t have been kinder. (more…)
