In a shout-out to their biggest hit and signature song (um, “Possum Kingdom”), the Toadies just announced the first ~~annual~~ Dia De Los Toadies, a big concert at Possum Kingdom Lake on August 31 that also features Lions, Dove Hunter, THe BAcksliders (that’s how they spell it), and Tejas Brothers. More details here. One young lady in particular is very excited.

Not that FrontBurner is a bastion of AP style, but: “annual: An event cannot be described as annual until it has been held in at least two successive years.
Do not use the term first annual. Instead, note that sponsors plan to hold an event annually.” IJS

Fine.

I do have to agree with Sean. Nothing frustrates me more than a “First Annual” event stating, well except maybe standing at a bar for longer than 5 minutes waiting for a drink.

Yeah Toadies! Any venue is better than that scary rathole on East Riverside in Austin where they used to appear.

That’s what I get for trying to get the name right without thinking if the name is actually right. Sorry GSP nerds. I’m better than that. Probably.

they actually spell it THe BAcksliders, but who is paying attention?
