You do realize that people have different tastes in music. You can't really go after the Dredge for that. I'm sorry, but Taylor Swift was a bit too busy to come out and sing for you. Also, Fairbanks isn't just the city, people come here for the nature and wildlife. It's not all tours and crap like that. When you go on an Alaskan vacation, don't expect to find a city like Vegas. Why not go to the wildlife refuge instead. Honestly, for all those who are wary of GD8 don't knock Fairbanks off your travel list. There are so many amazing things all around.

A:
Not sure what that means as our trip was scheduled within 24 hours of our visit. It was a great, informative trip and worth the time.
