FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

For the record : The Secret's Out

One thing I hate most is a secret. I don't like having to keep them and even more so, I detest not knowing what they're about. Maybe it's because I'm an only child or maybe it is because I can have a tendency to be...well, nosy.

Well, thank goodness, the secret is out! Have you heard who's playing the main stage? This year, we have three performances—that's right, three. Talib Kweli, The Ataris and Against Me! will all be performing.

Wait! There's more! Besides three great performances on the main stage, there will also be some great talent on the local stage. Jealousy Curve, Trouble Everyday, Philly Slick and Beats and Rhymes will all perform.

That's just the music. Did we mention the TNT Red Bull Freestyle Motorcross, the involvement fair, skateboard demo, and college day on the parkway?

Phew. Start resting now, because you don't want to miss a minute of the action on Sept. 29.
