     Same here.   I already spent enough going to and from the Reggae Festival this past monday (thank god it was only 4 dollars, but gas from Long Beach, food and smoke got me).  I must say that Qunito Sol and Tony Rebel (I think) were my favorites.  Very nice day.  I just couldnt afford the gas and money to get to the Truffaz show although I wanted to go b/c of hearing about him here.  But now that I'm 21 I should be able to get to some more events.  Gone.
