Welcome back to school, ladies and gents of Loyola. And to the class of 2013, welcome to your first year at LUM. (Well, isn't that different?) Anyway, I'm back from my wonderful semester in the Land Down Under (for those of you living under a rock, that means Australia), and ready to get this year started.

The festival, started last year, is held in Liberty State Park in New Jersey and featured big names such as Radio Head, Kings of Leon and Baltimore favorites, Animal Collective.
