We're quickly coming up on June, which can mean only a few things here on the left coast of Missouri: mosquitos, humidity and the Lawrence-area institution known as Wakarusa. As an established Wakarusian veteran, you can sure bet that I'll be among the optionally washed masses that descend upon Clinton Lake State Park on June 7th. And with a fantastically arrayed lineup that includes everyone from Widespread Panic to the local all-stars that front the musical revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, there shouldn't be any shortage of things to do.

Just to get things geared up a bit, why not take a look back at Wakarusian happenings of yore. As for my coverage of 2007 and what the local scene will bring to this year's fest, be sure to scoot on over and peruse Present Magazine.

Now where did I pack that sunscreen...
