You've been there, seen it in person: tens of thousands of South Sounders keeping it weird, looping around the blocks, popping into bar after bar tossing back shots. Maybe you don't want to drink Flaming Dr Peppers and Irish Car Bombs this weekend. Maybe you want a little music to go with your Duck Dynasty costume. There's plenty of musical frights all weekend.
