While I have this 100-degree fever, let's talk about Lexington

Highlights:

--Reevis recommended a place called Raising Cane's, and I will recommend it as well if you're heading that way--it's a restaurant that serves NOTHING BUT CHICKEN FINGERS.

• Seether's show was by far the best; I like the whole "speak softly, kick a lot of ass" thing
• I saw a house that had been turned into a Subway. No, really.

...while I'm pointing people to my Twitter page, add The Real Rock Twitter while you're at it. Seriously, this is addictive as hell.
