| _______________________________________ [Sep 25,2005 10:19am - hunterhunter ""] im not gonna lie, I was not very impressed by this event. The bands I saw were sick, but come on...150 bucks to guarentee each band?? to rent a fucking barn in the middle of nowhere? where is all this money going? I saw like 25 people there at most for each band discuss |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 25,2005 10:25am - Craig nli ""] yeah i basically went down to this to see/hang out with Shroud, which is always a good time. long ass drive |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 25,2005 10:38am - dreadkill ""] there were less people than reported, but overall, it was a fun day and all the bands i saw played great sets. i apologize for leaving midway through shroud's set. i wanted to stay for the whole show, but both cars i could ride home in were leaving, so i had to go. shroud sounded awesome and i wish i could have seen the bands that followed. thanks to shadow and all the bands and fans who made the day really fun. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 25,2005 1:52pm - dyingmuse ""] yeah the turnout was a bit discouraging, but hey i had fun. burgers were cool. i am glad the atnfac guys showed up, they always make the party!!!!! and we need to play together again soon craig! i'll look into the dee dee's thing asap. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 25,2005 3:59pm - NullFound ""] I had lots of fun there and all the bands were awsome, but I had to leave at 11 since my last ride was leaving. I was looking forward to see Suicide Dream but unfortunatly, I couldn't. Oh well, it was fun as fucking hell. Peace, I'll see you guys and the next gig. |

| _________________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 9:38am - kellthevalkyrie ""] The turnout was not that great, but the audience was small but full of gusto. My favorite part of the day was when I heard that Craig threw the empty keg into the woods so Mr. T couldn't throw it around anymore. HA! I really liked this venue, too. If the turnout had been better it would have had a festival feel to it. The sound was great. BYOB is always good, too. It was damn cold. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 11:40am - Sinislazy ""] I played the most awesome guitar of all time. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 12:35pm - MonikaHBBSI ""] Some of the funniest things EVER happened at this thing. |

| ______________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:09pm - cav ""] why do you judge bands because of what they look like, or dress like?? i thought it was all about the music on rttp! and for the record....FUCK SUBGENRES!!! |
| ______________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:10pm - cav ""] hey how do i include the persons post to who i am responding in my post. i thought i did that but i didnt. now my message seems so irrelevent since what i was talking about was at the top of the page. god damnit. |

It a well-known fact that train conductor hats and X's on your hands aren't black metal. Silly mortal... are there any bands with those gay hats and other hardcore fashion on the show? as far as i know, there aren't and i really hope there aren't. i'm fully aware that there is nothing black metal about that shit and i never claimed there was. i'm just wondering why all the classification of the bands really matters. as long as they aren't metalcore, nu metal, hardcore, or any other trendy crap, why does it matter? i don't get how my reaction is that of a silly mortal. i'm sick of seeing fests ruined by fagcore bands, so it sucks to see this fest overanalyzed even without those types of bands. ok i figured it out...this is what im talking about |
| ______________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:13pm - cav ""] and to make it a clean 4 in a row. i love my hat that makes me look like a train conductor ive gotten more compliments on that hat than any hat ive had in history. and i have some sweet fuckin hats. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:20pm - thedeparted ""] you tell em cav |
| ______________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:21pm - cav ""] i will, i like my fuckin hat, sons of bitches!! haha. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 1:45pm - Sinislazy ""] Fuck the music. It's all about the fashion. That's why I hate myself. |
