((This thread is for posting anecdotes and RP of character visits to the Midsummer Festival and the Feast of RhyDin.))

The Marketplace will be a bustle of activity during the Midsummer Festival, moreso than usual. There's plenty to do!

WHAM! 101.1FM and DJ Zazzy Yas at the Midsummer Night's Bash

Each day and evening during the Midsummer Festival, WHAM! 101.1FM will be broadcasting their shows live. Tune in to listen to the WHAM disc jockies; Ghee Buttersnaps, Felicia Fancybottom, and Ovaltine Jenkens. Kicking it off at Sunday's Midsummer Night's Bash was the legendary DJ Zazzy Yas herself.

"Good evening, RhyDin. This is DJ Zazzy Yas for WHAM! 101.1FM and I'm coming to you live from the Marketplace for the" Oh that's right. The Midsummer Night's Bash. I'm sorry. I'm in to so many things right now, I lose track. You know, the Governor himself personally asked for me to be here. Ok, I don't know if he actually called, but someone is paying me to be here and that's good enough for me."

"This is a very special occasion for me since it's the first time I will be doing a show live while covering an event. As a result, my theme for songs tonight is - covers! Right now, I'm going to give the floor to a fantastic band that played with me during Fashion Week's Battle of the Bands, Trash. Addie is amazing on the guitar, Michi is rocking that bass, and Misery is hell on those drums. Take it away, Trash!"

Michi comes on the air: "We're Trash and this is a cover of the song "Not Your Kind of People" by Garbage."

Trash rocks out on "Not your kind of people".

Michi concludes: "Try out the funnel cakes! Enjoy the Midsummer's Night Bash! Our CD is on sale at the DJ booth!"

Yas begins again: "That was the awesome band, Trash. I played with them when I was in Battle of the Bands with my Boy Band, BB101. Unfortunately, WHAM! 101.1FM didn't authorize me to play any of my awesome BB101 songs tonight since it was founded by their competitor, RhyDin Rewind. I'm not supposed to mention it, but you know what? I can't stop!"

"We Can't Stop" by Boyce Avenue plays.

"To all you lovers of the thee-A-tar, and lovers of me, I want to talk about how amazing I am as an actress at the Shanachie Theater. This week, their featured show is a ballet variety thing called A Summer Gala. I'm definitely not in that though, cuz I don't do ballet. I believe in the right to wear comfortable footwear. But I will give all those guys and girls props cuz pretty hurts."

"Pretty Hurts" by Louisa Wendorff plays.

To listen to the rest of the broadcast, tune into WHAM! 101.1FM.
