We were informed late Wednesday that we would be hosting a Camp Rock party Friday night.

"Camp Rock?" we asked, as if this might be a last-minute addition to the patchwork quilt of activities that consitute a summer for the child of working parents. This seemed curious given that the daughter's instrument is violin.

"You know, Camp Rock on the Disney Channel," daughter says. "Starring the Jonas Brothers. Specifically, starring Joe Jonas, your future son-in-law." 

Ahh, now we understood. Debuting at 8 p.m. Friday, Camp Rock threatens to be this summer's High School Musical but with way more focus on boys.

The Jonas Brothers first broke into tween consciousness during the extended gum surgery that was the Hannah Montana tour. Parents were dragged to arenas to hear Hannah only to watch their daughters screamn their lungs out for the opening act of the Jonas Brothers.

Joe is the designated Cute One, just as Joey Mac was of New Kids on the Block, Justin was of 'N Sync and, if you're of a certain age, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.

If you are tween-free, this may mean nothing. If you are not, this will certainly mean a summer of all things Jonas to say nothing of more money for Disney.
