Music Festival

[-Samurai-]

I went to an annualy held music festival yesterday. There were 20,000+ people there and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I was up front for every band. The music rattled my body, and I dunno how many crowd surfers I passed above my head. I could literally feel every bass pedal hit.

I got to hang out with a few of the bands and got pictures and autographs with some of them.

Lineup:
Alice in Chains, Mudvayne, Our Lady Peace, Hollywood Undead, Cage the Elephant, Hurt, Red, Cavo, Sick Puppies(From AUS), and Halestorm, plus local bands Three Barrel, Chapter of Progress, Shamus Stone, and Hollows End. Few of them are well known, but I have a feeling some of them will be huge.

Halestorm was the opening act and they were by far one of the best. Im not usually fond of female singers, but I was blown away by them. I got to talk to them afterwards and got a picture with their beautiful singer.

Im sunburnt and sore today, and its totally worth it.

Any of you ever been to a big show?

I'd kill to see Coheed and Cambria. I'd also like to see Bullet For My Valentine, Nonpoint, and Halestorm(again). Most of the other bands I dont care for, or forgot they even existed.

I bought my ticket, Im seeing Coheed(along with all the others) in May. $140 for 2 days of music. I'll need to get a hotel and what not. Music starts around noon and ends about 12-1 am. Its gonna be fantastic.

My goal is to get a picture with Claudio, and buy that band a round of beers.

Sounds like a great time.  Have fun!
