They were warned about the heat, but in the end, that wasn’t the problem. “I want to say it was about 107 [degrees Fahrenheit] all day long and super hot,” said David Fitzgerald, owner of DCF Concerts, recalling the 2011 Brady District Block Party The Flaming Lips were scheduled to headline. “The firemen came out […]
