Now for an event that excites me. Rib America is putting on a big ‘ol BBQ Fest this weekend.

Rib America Des Moines

Perhaps you don’t have much money? Hey, it’s $3 after 3pm, or free before then! Perhaps you like music?

• Big Head Todd and The Monsters
• Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band
• Molly Hatchet
• .38 Special
• Buddy Guy
• The Nadas

And several others. These names may not be the biggest in music, but where else can you get these kinds of great eats and great music for $3 (or for free?)

I don’t care what you’re doing this weekend, get off your duff and support a true “man’s” event downtown! Go eat a bunch, get fat, and enjoy the show!
