The Weekend...."The Roots", "The Wall", Cyndi Lauper and much more!

There is so much to do this weekend, so where do I start! I just love June!

I wanted to post these events separate because I believe theses are "Must See".
The 10th Annual Non-COMMvention @ World Cafe Live, 6/3-6/5
The Non-Commvention is a music industry gathering of noncommercial radio stations that's been hosted annually by WXPN-FM (88.5) at World Cafe Live since 2008.

John Legend & the Roots will play Non-Comm on Friday night, for example, and The National will be

"The Roots" Third Annual Picnic @ 2pm Festival Pier, Penn's Landing - 6/5
 I went last year and I loved it.  If you know anything about family picnics ..its long and so is this show.  But it's worth it. O yeah, word to the wise, pack some goodies deep in your bag.  The food Vendors are expensive and it's a long show if you choose to stay for the whole thing.

Schedule performances: Vampire Weekend, Method Man, Ghostface and Raekwon, Clipse, Mayer Hawthorne, The Very Best, DJ Jazzy Jeff, tUnE-yArDs, Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew, Das Racist and Pattern Is Movement. Tickets: $66-$80. For more information: 877-598-8497 or  www.livenation.com.
