NOTE:  Two fresh-squeezed lemonades is one too many.

The band just barely made their 8th consecutive appearance at Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts.  Valentiger contacted appropriate authorities after receiving no confirmation of a day and time.  As a result, the boys narrowly an absence by filling a canceled slot, Friday at 4:30PM.  Valentiger was now making its second appearance, yet again from the City Stage, which they thoroughly enjoy.  And the crowd was large given they were not listed in the guide and a mass rain scare from newscasters.  The set was opened up with the high-energy, newer ditty “Oh, To Know” with a revised intro and from there it was full steam ahead.  The semi-famous Jam cover made it’s way into the set and the concluding note of “Man On Fire” was extended even longer than when the idea was originated during last year’s performance.  The boys were happy to represent their city once again and held true to tradition by whipping a few “Leaving Town” singles from the van window!
