Did you know that you can actually hang out Folly in the winter? Without all the shirtless and sweaty volleyball games, shotgunned beers, and asphalt-seared feet? Yeah, me neither. Not a bad Sunday...

I have ideas, including Jason Isbell, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and the viability of a tribute band named ZZ Topless. Plus, we'll discuss which are better—real or fake. See? I have ideas...
