Summer Lovin'

Central Park SummerStage, for those of you not in The NYC, is great. They produce an awesome, awesome series of concerts every year, for free, and every single one I've gone to over the years has been a ton of fun.

To support those free concerts, though, they have a series of benefit concerts... Which are also awesome. Last year I went to see Aimee Mann on a double bill with Ben Folds. That was pretty awesome.

Anywho, the benefit concert list has been released, and its one of the best ever, I think:
