Heaven and Hell in the Garden of Brighton

In one of the most cosmically ironic quirks of scheduling, the Christian rock festival, HeavenFest, is on the same weekend and in the same town as the Adams County Fair.  HeavenFest appears to be a musical festival without the “festiv”eness.  Alcohol is banned, as are bikinis, and bellybuttons (well, you can keep your bellybutton but you cannot bare your belly).  Apparently the organizers forgot that at the Wedding at Cana wine was free-flowing thanks to Jesus’ miracle.  And they seem to overlook that Eve was baring much more than her bellybutton in the Garden of Eden.

Meanwhile, over at the Adams County Fair, I am sure that not only will there be alcohol and bellybuttons but that alcohol will be poured over said bellies and perhaps even licked off the bellies.  Could you imagine the shock if one of the HeavenFesters attended the ACF by mistake?  Inevitably there will be some inadvertent mixing of the two crowds, perhaps at the Kum’n’Go (I am not making that name up) the famed convenience store in Brighton.  I think they call this mixing of the tribes, ARMAGEDDON.
