AP Survey: What are YOU stoked for this summer?

Rachel Lux on 2/25/09 @ 1:16 PM

Yeah, yeah. We know there's still snow on the ground in a vast portion of the U.S., but that doesn't mean we can't do a little California dreamin' about the warmer days ahead. Aside from hot weather, no school and lots of late nights with friends, summer is always one of the best seasons for new: New albums by your favorite artists, new blockbuster movies with your favorite stars, new videogames for your favorite consoles and, last but certainly not least, loads of tours and fests to attend.

AP wants to know: What albums, films, games and tours are you counting down the days for? Let us know, and you just may see your name in print in an upcoming issue of AP!
