Here at satellite site Red Bank oRBit, we can vouch that what used to be considered the iron curtain of Labor Day has become as threadbare a concept as the fall TV season an idea that’s pretty close to meaningless when you consider how packed with stuff these post-Labor weekends have become down the Shore.
Weather permitting, we’re staring down a weekend of street fairs and open-air art fests; of grand opera festivals and skimboard competitions, triathlons and multimedia lectures, flea markets and charity walks and doggie fashion shows and even a late-night, large group nude photo shoot. All this plus the return of the Red Bank Town-Wide Yard Sale and we’ve got the goods on all of these goings-on, broken down into the categories of “PLEIN AIR,” “PLAYIN’ OUR SONG” and “PLAIN WEIRD.”
Then there’s Rusted Root, the nationally popular worldgrass jamband that’s long enjoyed a fervent following round these parts, thanks in no small part to a busy touring schedule that sees them return to the area on Saturday night. Dorothy Creamer has a late-breaking interview with Michael Glabicki (above), the hippie-hunk frontman whose songs have seen heavy rotation from the Ice Age to the space age. It’s all happening this weekend, more than you ever thought possible, and we’ve got the rundown right here in Red Bank oRBit!
