ad a creemee yet? That’s a sure sign of summer, even if Vermont nights are still cool. But the Green Mountain Comedy Festival is sure to heat things up … with hilarity. Dan Bolles interviews headliner Tig Notaro in this issue. Sarah Tuff talks with a marathoner who was paralyzed just months ago, while Andrea Suozzo collects data from an app to map Burlington’s most-used running routes. Ken Picard heads over to the Sunset Drive-In, which not only screens real film, it’s got a brand-new inn. Kevin J. Kelley sums up local bicycling news — new tours, trails and two-wheelers — and eager Seven Days staffers sampled the summer food trucks so we all know where to go when for what. Happy summer, y’all.
