Cake sucks up to the audience at Forecastle Festival. We love them for it. [Music]
I love a band that sucks up to the audience.

However, you have to love a band that keeps telling the audience, "Listen to you! All your beautiful voices. Getting louder, beautiful voices, getting louder - yes!"

GoGreen Germantown launches neighborhood beautification and sustainability projects [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
In true Germantown-Schnitzelburg style, one concerned citizen has begun a project of passion for the community's sake. Schnitzelburg Area Community Council (SACC) board member Susan Brunton has started an organization called GoGreen Germantown in order to beautify and better the area. Recently, Brunton and her husband noticed large whiskey jugs on the corner of Texas and Burnett and used their own funds to plant shrubs and flowers. The support in form of honks from passersby gave Brunton the idea to continue beautifying the neighborhood.
