LISA DENTON: Happy Memorial Day, Barry. I don’t know about you, but I plan to spend the day cleaning out the kitchen junk drawer looking for stray Riverbend tokens. I don’t remember the exact year I had the kitchen remodeled, but I think it’s safe to say there could be 25 years’ worth of stuff stuffed in that drawer.
BARRY COURTER: That’s a lot of tokens, and as we have mentioned several times here in the paper, this is the last year to use them. I won’t try to explain how, but you can read all about it in at bit.ly/2JCLT2U.
LISA: I’d be surprised if there’s more than $4 worth of tokens in that drawer – just 25 years of other stuff. But I’d rather find them than waste them, even if it means a half-day of cleaning what’s basically a 9-by-20-inch space. It almost feels like a “cover me, I’m going in” hazard, but I’m up for it.
BARRY: Leave breadcrumbs. Obviously, we mention this because the new Riverbend gets underway Wednesday night with Weezer headlining. It is a strong lineup with some don’t-miss acts. Mine is War & Treaty, but there are several.
LISA: Weezer is a solid choice. We can’t mention the word “sweater” in my family without somebody adding “whoa, whoa, whoa.” We’re a little “Undone.”
