Warning:  Rant ahead…
I live in a smaller town.  There used to be an online mothers group, of which I was a member.  At some point, a bunch of the mothers decided to open another group in which you have to know another mom to get in.  The old group is now gone.

For those of you that are wondering, Bonnaroo is a live music festival that features a variety of bands.  If you want to go, it’s a little late, since it’s occuring this weekend.  However, you can still watch certain acts live (for free) thanks to the AT&T blue room.
We watched the Raconteurs earlier today, and [...]

**UPDATE:  I no longer recommend Boomertowne - they have not cashed in on gift cards since the early part of May, and are not communicating with their users.  Please see this post for more information.
At the end of January, I wrote a brief review about a site called Boomertowne.  I still visit this site daily, [...]
