Solar-powered rockers: does that mean that if it's a cloudy day we will not have to listen to them?

Are the organizers getting to WP without burning anything?  I understand that the lead person lives in Irvington.

It looks like the usual WP mess of an event with some kiddie environmental stuff.  You need to insist that people get there without driving.  You need to call out the city for allowing the development of thousands of new housing units in downtown with only 14 pathetic "affordable" units crammed beside the interstate highway with any hint of "green" elements.

WP is Motown, the most pedestrian hostile place I know.  Every issue is impacted by the city government's reverence for cars.  It is Dodge city.  Drivers get away with infractions ALL day long.  There is minimal enforcement of traffic laws.  If CC members walked around downtown occasionally, they might know this.  Instead they stay in their suburban enclaves and visit citizen groups that represent those enclaves.  Let's save tax money and just have the Scarsdale government make decisions for WP.  They have as much vested interest.
