great little review Dave. Glad that people were owned.

[bezerker]

owned might be an understatement.  the 3rd set owned me more that i\'ve ever been in my life.  so packed with intensity.  escher\'s had so much insane high points, there were times even i didnt even know what to do, let alone all the people seeing the band for the first time. adrian was hitting his drums so hard at the end of doughboy i thought he was going to bust em.  gravity>taboo>gravity = ridiculous.  they can really take gravity far now a days.  awesome space city opened up the 3rd, then right into buquebus.  i knew the set was only 30 minutes, and they were jamming buquebus really hard, so i started to think maybe they were just going to play a monster monster sized one.  i talked with tim before 10kl and said he should save scheme for moe down, and it seemed like that made sense to him.  so ever since then i\'ve been banking on one at the festie , and when they did the seamless  segue from buquebus into tgsot, i couldnt think of anything in the entire world that was more perfect than that situation.  my arms didnt leave the air until about 5 mintues after the show was over.  i was so floored, and so happy with the results of what the band did that night.......i honestly couldn\'t have asked more a single thing more.  really the only problem was seeing the band unless you were right up front.  there were so many people packed in there you could only really see tim and ron\'s heads above the crowd.  there was a mini glowstick war in the 3rd set i believe........made things a little interesting.  i really liked that they didnt play a cover too, even though a shakedown would have been nice.  overall........well worth every second of every hastle ( even tho there  wasn\'t many - the weather was perfect, no traffic, barley any mud) and the breakfast just made it what it actually became.  can\'t wait to see them on the main stage next year

ah, i forgot to mention the glowsticks.. first glowstick war broke out in sleeping beauty, then there was another (i believe) towards the end of the 3rd set..

[SlimPickens]

nice review b

[Spacey]

ahhh, so damn happy for all of you.

glad a glowstick war happened.

Dave - Did you pass out cds with the .info on it? How\'d it go?

[davepeck]

i had close to 200 cds that the girls passed out with the first batch of digests in the first set. i don\'t think they lasted more than 15 minutes..

[bezerker]

^^^^^^^^ they ate them up, the real radio ones too........ or as many as were available when they were wanted

[Spacey]

Great news and a terrific job done by the .info Angels.

Good to know. Hopefully we see many new faces around this place.

random incidents of the weekend
1. stepping out of my tent and saying to fitz "I\'m gonna go call...", planning to say Todd anderson and Steve Gencs RIGHT AS THEY WALK IN FRONT OF ME.
2. finding out that the reason that anderson/gencs walked by me was because they were on there way to oldnewbies, who was 2 tents away! (also unknown)
3. hearing about the casino and all that damn  rukus.
4. Japan tour 2006!!
5. Seeing Dobs pissed at me because I had a more powerful backstage pass then he did.
6. Having some random guy come up to me, say "Paul Ryan, whats up.... I\'m Leith" and then watching a camera for me :thumbsup:
7. Pulling in at 12 am friday night and being on stage by 12:15am shooting video for moe.
8. Myself and Fitz havig access to a private room with bathtub/shower/toliet etc.
9. Laughing when fitz said he never found the room.
10. breakfast sat night kicking ser ass. unfortunetly I was only in the tent for set 1 but I heard set 2 and 3 from nearby.
11. Thinking how damn loud it was in the tent, and yet still being able to hear steve gencs whistle come through.
12. Todd - dude, wheres your car?
13. Leith - you rented a haunted car from the sounds of it.
14. Getting paid for going to a festival for free with backstage passes and free meals, ect. :thumbsup:
15. Watching the show from the stage.
16. Only seeing 1 breakfast digest on the ground for the whole weekend!
17. seeing a ton of newbies with their jaws on the floor.
18. Meeting mama and sharing my 1 slice of pizza against my will
19. Meeting and working with the people responsible for the phish IT pbs documentary, and trading info for future colaborations...

all in all the set I watched, 6 out of 10, 10 being the puppet house night 2 set 3. I\'ve seen better, but the newbies were blown away and thats what this was all about. we\'ll know how the digests did if a bunch of people start showing up on the message board.

quote of the weekend:
"The stage tech came up to me after we got off and said we were increadible. That means alot. These guys at festivals are busting there asses all day with band after band after band shuffling through, and all they are usually thinking about is how fast they can get you off of the stage after your set. When one of them says you blew me away, you know you did alright."
- Ron Spears, after set 1.

12. Todd - dude, wheres your car?
13. Leith - you rented a haunted car from the sounds of it.

is this a weekend recap or random high school yearbook quotes??  lol

seriously though, good to hear the weekend was a great success.  wish I could have been there for it!

[SlimPickens]

random yes, but funny nonetheless

[derickw]

This was bound to happen for all you guys. Congrates to everyone on a hugely successful weekend. Raise your GLASS to.... "The turn of the page"

That shit was intensity in tent city.  by far the best beer tent set to ever grace a moe.down stage.  hopefully they\'ll get invited back next year and get bumped up to the mainstage.  The Asscracks set 3 closer was my request, so i\'m happy timmy was thinking of me when he realized there was more time left.  i\'ve got nothing to say about set 3.  it speaks for itself.

that last post was me by the way(Igzy).

err, you get the idea.  this is not postom.
