The city does a weekly concert series on the pier during the summer. It's mostly cover bands that pay tribute to classic rock and pop icons. Very safe, very bland, very well attended because people around here have no taste. Depending upon the band's volume and atmospheric conditions, the sound travels fairly well. You can usually make out what they are playing at the skatepark, which is a bit of a distance from the pier. The lake assists with acoustics, too. It also helps that the bands are playing hits you've heard a thousand times over so your brain can fill in the details. Last night was a phony Journey. Or maybe it was the real Journey. I can't imagine there's much demand for them these days. Anyway, they were coming in loud and clear. They even did a drum solo. You know what kills the buzz for skateboarding? Journey.
