| ____________________________________________________ [May 23,2013 3:13pm - hockey puck burger fagget ""] Whats the burger situation like over there? |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 3:27pm - The_reverend ""] The burger sitch is hut. The venue is set up completely different. I haven't read any of the plans, but... Inside sonar looks like a dance club. The stage that was inside is now outside under a tent on the Gay st side of the grounds. The opposite stage outside is still there and bigger. There is another stage being built later on holiday st I think. The inside of the venue is going to be the biggest change for people |

| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 4:38pm - The_reverend ""] Yeah The line is that long. |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 5:00pm - The_reverend ""] noisem (formerly necroptic) are awesome. Early carcass meets bolt thrower. Highly recommended. |

| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 9:19pm - The_reverend ""] It is raining like crazy. Cobalt is pretty awesome though. |
| _______________________________________ [May 23,2013 9:47pm - boblovesmusic ""] Cobalt and Abigail were highlight! |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 9:52pm - The_reverend ""] Ok, so I probably don't get to see bolt thrower. No photos and they kicked everyone out. Let's see how this goes. |
| ______________________________________ [May 23,2013 9:59pm - The_reverend ""] Ok, they opened up the side of the tent that I was on so that I can see the stage now. Probably still no photos, but at least I can see a few minutes of bolt thrower |

| _____________________________________________ [May 23,2013 11:22pm - RTTP cleanup crew ""] bump |
| _________________________________ [May 23,2013 11:53pm - KEVORD ""] The sound in that tent was extremely shitty. |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 12:25am - the_reverend ""] pictures |
| ______________________________________ [May 24,2013 1:40am - goatcatalyst ""] Overcast / Integrity was infinitely better than however this was. L-word J-word. P-WORDS!!! |
| ______________________________________ [May 24,2013 1:48am - The_reverend ""] Yeah, I heard that show was awesome. |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2013 3:14am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] [img][img] The BOLT THROWER merch line!!! |
| __________________________________________ [May 24,2013 7:40am - largefreakatzero ""] ^Haha fucking posers. A T-shirt is really that important??? |
| ________________________________ [May 24,2013 7:44am - KEVORD ""] That's not the Merch line. That's the line to get into the fest |
| ___________________________________ [May 24,2013 8:02am - demondave ""] So what are your opinions of the tent vs the old sonar? |
| ________________________________ [May 24,2013 8:03am - KEVORD ""] The tent was horrible. |
| _______________________________ [May 24,2013 8:04am - hlrie ""] Tent is BS. And flooded. |
| _______________________________ [May 24,2013 8:05am - hlrie ""] Kevord why are the two of us old exhausted idiots awake and on rttp? |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 8:55am - AndrewBastard ""] what happened with BTs set? |
| ________________________________ [May 24,2013 9:06am - KEVORD ""] hlrie said:Kevord why are the two of us old exhausted idiots awake and on rttp?because I went to bed at midnight and still woke up at 6am wide awake like it was a workday. Stupid oldness. |
| ________________________________ [May 24,2013 9:09am - KEVORD ""] They oversold tickets so not everybody could fit into the tent, it down poured outside, it was humid as hell in the tent, and it wasn't loud enough. |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 9:25am - AndrewBastard ""] that some bull shit. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 24,2013 9:35am - AndrewBastard NLI ""] Hearing this makes me FAR less jelly that was wasn't there because I can not STAND humidity and/or being CRAMMED in a show with a million people where you can move and the combination of the both would have had me at a bar down the street instead of inside that tent... |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2013 10:06am - arilliusbm ""] Lol @ people thinking a tent would be a good idea. |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 10:16am - alcks cskot ""] shutop Arl Y U so leatest U no gud prson |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 10:26am - Brnci ""] U r so rt Alcks. Arl Iz no gud. Hi wnt xspt Dinz frnd rqst. |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2013 10:37am - Barren_Oak ""] Very immature Aril |
| ______________________________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:18am - Goatrider via cellamaphone ""] Thursday setup was weird, the sound was a little bad, but it's my first MDF and I'm still used to shitfest at the palladium where everything is 99% inaudible. Missed Deiphago due to a temporary dehydration fiasco after the Derketa preshow. Abigail ruled so goddamn much. |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:22am - Spence ""] Between all the awfulness i've heard about yesterday and Ufomammut being replaced with Pallbearer, i'm kind of happy I wasn't there last night. I'd rather not see Bolt Thrower, than see Bolt Thrower in a shitty setting like that. Also, my deepest condolences to those who traveled and paid good money for this: http://patriciathomasmanagement.com/2013/0...df-due-to-last-minute-visa-setback/ |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:29am - KEVORD ""] Seeing Bolt Thrower > Not seeing Bolt Thrower. |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:31am - Spence ""] Bolt Thrower in general > Not-Bolt Thrower I'm just saying. I'd hate to travel across country, pay over a hundred bucks, be stuck in a sweaty wet damp tent with poor mixing during Bolt Thrower. I'd be disappointed as fuck. |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:42am - xmikex ""] ITT: Spence lives up to every RTTP criticism of himself by critiquing show he isn't even at. Life imitating Spence imitating life. |
| ___________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:45am - arksbox ""] in 2009 we had 2 epic bolt thrower performances inside and outside. seeing bolt thrower twice > seeing bolt thrower. |
| ___________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:47am - arksbox ""] if someone traveled across country and isn't having a good time at MDF, they're seriously doing life wrong. |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 11:49am - KEVORD ""] I'm still having a great time. The next three days with the outside stages should be fantastic. |

I'd hate to travel across country, pay over a hundred bucks, be stuck in a sweaty wet damp tent with poor mixing during Bolt Thrower. I'd be disappointed as fuck. and that's why you'll remain safe and comfortable at home, growing old with nothing but vicarious critiquing and missed opportunities. |
| _____________________________________ [May 24,2013 12:14pm - permafrost ""] BT still killed it. Hard to beat 09 though. Abigail ruled! Great day, looking forward to what's to come! |
| _________________________________ [May 24,2013 12:27pm - Brnci ""] I am the burnt one. |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 12:39pm - the_reverend ""] AndrewBastard said:what happened with BTs set? for photos? they said no photos/videos so I just shot pictures of people's cellphones as they shot pictures of bolt thrower. ask grizloch, he was behind me the whole time as I was laughing. All of the other photogs seemed pissed off, but BT was so good tht I didn't really care. |

Stupid oldness.I was up at 6am too... but then nodded on and off in bed for the morning. |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 12:42pm - the_reverend ""] even with the rain, I think that the inside BT in 2009 was more uncomfortable than this one. That room was so hot. |
| _______________________________ [May 24,2013 1:04pm - hlrie ""] Had a good nap. So much better. And the real thing that sucked was not being able to see anything at all. Stage is too low, tent was too small by far, could not see anything until I found this side area outside the tent where they took down a panel of the tent. Only found it at the last fucking song. Tent is a 0/10 |
| _______________________________ [May 24,2013 1:06pm - hlrie ""] Today it's cold and rainy. Brrrrrrr |
| ____________________________________________ [May 24,2013 1:09pm - AndrewBastard NLI ""] I hope its cold all weekend..no rain tho |
| ____________________________________________ [May 24,2013 1:09pm - AndrewBastard NLI ""] And BT OUTSIDE in 09 killed...inside I could only stand it for like 4 songs...too hot and rowdy |
| _______________________________________ [May 24,2013 1:32pm - boblovesmusic ""] I'm kinda kicking myself for not listening to Abigail before. Their set ruled! Probably will be the first thing I listen to on the way back to Worcester |
