Holy crap it's summer! It took a while to get here, but here it is just the same. We east coasters have a sixth sense for the imminent solstice, as we begin to fear the sudden rising in temperatures. We hate the humidity (and pretty much everything else). However there are few things that would inspire us to brave the bare sun, lose our couture to pit stains and consider the fashion of flip flops – a good tan and a good time.

The best bet for first getting into summer social gear is the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce's annual Midsommarfest ; that's Swedish for "massing of ‘mos." Seriously though, it's a great fun fair, more laid back than most others we Q's tend to attend, offering food, culture and lots of live entertainment for both straight and LGBT families to enjoy. RtVR was there Sunday and found it to be educational as well.

Drunk or sober, funnel cake is always good and some guys actually can pull off Capri pants. Go figure.
