Last year was better imo, but this year was pretty decent with bands like From Autumn To Ashes, Glassjaw, AFI, Rancid, etc...
The suicide machines have to be the craziest fuckers there though, they did a mini Braveheart thing where the crowd split then crashed into each other...but then after that I went over to the 2nd main stage to get a good spot for the next band. And they had everyone on their stage form a huge line and run at us ala Braveheart, which is about 1/10th the amount of people. I was standing in the front and when those thousand people are charging at you, it's fucking scary hah. But I just put up my forearms and laid into them, it was a good time.
Our gang of friends only missed 1 band this year though due to my going to get stitches, last year we missed a few due to 2 girls with us getting knocked unconcious and I stayed at the hospital with them until about 6 AM... So we did better. 1/2 the injuries!
Stretchers are fun!
So overall great time.
BTW, were the bands aloud to cuss for you all? All they kept talking about is getting arrested if they were caught cussing in St. Pete, FL.
