BMWK, so what did you think? I know it was kinda short but are you taking your kid to see it? I know some of you have grown kids but if they were younger would you drop the money to see it?

On Saturday TheMom and I headed out to Columbia, MD which sits in between Baltimore and DC and is also the home of the Capital Jazz Fest that we talked about a few months back, (click here for that review and pics) for the concert event of the summer.
The lineup included newcomer from the UK, Estelle, The Roots, one of the best singers around Jill Scott and for some local flavor The Godfather - Chuck Brown. The concert …
