Holy fuck, the Fest has been totally awesome thus far. Highlights include:
-Rehasher dressing up as the Ghostbusters, complete with jumpsuits that said "I ain't afraid of no Fest"
-Less Than Jake dressing up as cops and throwing donuts at the audience (and JR even handed me one -- it was delicious)
-Strike Anywhere setting a world record for "most stage divers in a 40-minute set" on Friday night (seriously, it was an ungodly amount)
-Paint It Black completely shattering said record on Saturday in under 30 minutes (I think every person at the Fest stagedove during their set except me -- and hell, I might have to review the videotape, maybe I did, too [no, I didn't, I don't trust people to catch my big butt])
-Speaking of Paint It Black, they attempted to play a parking lot show Friday night after the Bouncing Souls ended, and after a good 500+ people gathered around the UHaul they were standing in, the generator blew after literally two seconds of music. It was kind of funny. Of course, that didn't stop people from stagediving into the crowd off the top of said UHaul. Totally awesome. I have it all on video, and expect to see it in our Fest photo/video recap next week.
-Atom reunited with the Package for a killer greatest-hits set, including my personal favorite, "Happy Birthday Ralph."
-Andrew Jackson Jihad killed it. Absolutely killed it.
-So did Pegasuses-XL. Wow, seriously. Great band.
-Mose Giganticus is probably the best new band I've seen this weekend. Check these dudes out; it's heavy-as-shit stoner metal/rock with a keytar. For real.
-I ended up onstage last night playing drums for Bomb The Music Industry! on "493 Ruth" and "Unlimited Breadsticks, Soup And Salad Days" in front of about a gajillion people, and it was the most fun I've had in a very, very long time. Oh, I'm also left-handed, but the drums were set up right-handed, so it was definitely interesting to say the least. I hope video surfaces on the ol' YouTube eventually.
In other news, I've consumed no less than seven Arizona Fruit Punch tall cans since Thursday night. That's over 150 oz. of fruit punch. I think I might have a drinking problem.
Okay, day three is about to begin. Minus The Bear tonight -- so stoked!

Polar Bear Club was easily the best set of the weekend. A kid went up into the rafters at Market Street and almost ripped the lights down on the kids in the pit. The set was epic.
Pegasuses-XL!
Sorry, just noticed that mention.
