The clouds downtown Des Moines produced rain through most of the first day of the alternative music festival 80-35. Several women dressed only in shorts and body paint applied by Emily Svec paraded around the festival. The majority of 80-35 is free with two of the stages featuring Iowa bands including The Autumn Project. The main stage is accessible only from paid admission and Friday night’s main stage headliner Public Enemy was without one of it’s prominent performers Flavor Flav. Early reports from the Des Moines Register indicated Chuck D was irritated by Flav’s sudden lack of appearance in Des Moines but by show time Chuck D told the audience Flavor had been taken to the hospital over the last day and could not be at the show in Iowa.

Haha, I definitely googled “brother Mike” and nothing came up. I was psyched for the show, but whatever. He doesnt want to be in Iowa, don't say you'll play our show.
