For more than a decade, Silbaugh has overseen this aspect of the festival, and it's a job that has grown each year. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/drumsatsf.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/drumsatsf.html?15647 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:32:00 CST If you're wondering if there's someone cool to see at Summerfest that might, arguably, be flying under the radar here, check out Staten Island-based songstress Ingrid Michaelson on Thursday, July 3 at 8 p.m. on the Rock Stage. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/ingridsf08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/ingridsf08.html?15660 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:12:00 CST Just as noon rolled around, the crowds began trickling into the Big Gig on Thursday.

From the ones that do, however, sometimes there is still griping. That's because not every gig at Summerfest is at 10 p.m. on the Miller Lite Oasis or at 7:30 p.m. in the Amphitheater. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/sfnooners.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/summerfest/articles/sfnooners.html?15255 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:27:00 CST For more than a decade Chef Michael Feker has worked his magic in the kitchens of Il Mito away from the public eye.
