Something in the contract?

Things have gotten choppy for the popular “Something in the Water” concert series. After recently canceling this year’s event, which was set for mid-October in Virginia Beach, now it looks like plans for next year are in jeopardy.
On Wednesday, Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer said he was “angry” about the length of time that contract negotiations have taken. He gave the organizers of the event, led by producer and musician Pharrell Williams, until Friday to sign an agreement with the city.
It’s unfortunate this popular event seems to have hit another snag. If things don’t work out at the beach, perhaps the organizers would be willing to consider another city for the festival.
We know a place. It’s right by some water and has a new amphitheater that would be perfect for the top talent, such as Wu-Tang Clan, Post Malone and Usher that the event attracts. Interested? We’re here for it.
