On June 29th, the first Saturday of the Milwaukee Summerfest 2013 , Dispatch was the headliner at the BMO Harris Pavilion.  This is the 45th Annual Summerfest and I decided to make this an adventure.  I am a Chicago native and had to make a couple of hours journey, so I booked a hotel in Milwaukee.  As show time approached, I took the drive into town.  As I neared the Park, the traffic was heavy.  The roads were flooded with groups of
