I'm not going to lie. This week, I have a very heavy heart.

This cracks me up.



Less than two weeks ago we were flooded with stories of how security of the Olympics was a grave concern and that the company (GS4) retained to hire and train security personnel was woefully understaffed. They originally were contracted to hire 2,000, but as security was evaluated, the number ballooned to 20,000. (Note: I've seen various figures here. I am not sure exactly what the total requirement is.) They fell short by roughly 3,500 persons and the government had to step in and bring in members of Army and local law enforcement to make up the difference.

Performer dependent, last night was likely the last time I'll ever go to a show at the Marcus Amphitheater during Summerfest.
