Sunday Sound-off: All 11 days of Summerfest?
Why 11 days? Why not an even dozen?

It seems like Summerfest has become a love / hate event. Some people cannot wait until it gets here and -- despite a little beer in the shoe -- they love every minute of it. Other folks feel very differently, and complain about the music lineups, the crowds and the drunkenness.

But what are your thoughts? If time and money were not an issue, would you consider going to the Big Gig all 11 days? Does this sound like heaven or hell to you? Sound-off now, Milwaukee, and let us know how much Summerfest you could stomach.

All 11 days, baby. If I didn't have to pay for my tickets, beer or food -- and I had a lot of time off from work -- I would definitely enjoy going to the Big Gig every day of its run. There is at least one musical act I would like to see every day. Plus, it's the best time of year in Milwaukee, and it's so much fun to be a part of it.

11 days? No way. I have absolutely no desire to attend Summerfest this much. It would get really boring, annoying and could possibly make me despise humanity for a long time. Once or twice, maybe, but Summerfest for almost a dozen days? No, thanks.
