deathfest part one
so, my weekend was pretty fucking incredible. It starts out with me taking a bus to baltimore in order to go to Baltimore Death Fest, and that was possibly the worst bus trip I have ever been on. THREE kids on the bus, screaming constantly, one of whom shit the floor while we were halfway between the stop. I got off of that with a pounding headache and a resolve never to have kids. I tried to start up a conversation with some kids that were traveling to the same festival, but they were the scenester assholes I have spent 22 years trying to avoid. Eventually I met a nice guy named Ryan, who went to a bar with me, tried to find a carryout, and eventually split a cab with me out to the place. The first day started off horribly- the bands were bad, I couldnt get in touch with fallon and cooter, and I had not slept or ate since the day before, minus a couple beers. I didnt know if I had any money to spend, but eventually I just said fuck it and began to shop for albums.
the day began to get better once Warscars played. The lead singer was totally positive and knew how to get an audience moving. After that, pretty much all of the bands played great. I dont care what anyone says, I LOVE pig destroyer. There were a lot of other pleasant surprises as well, like regurgitate and leng tsche, but I think PD's concert was the best for the first day. I got to see eight mexican guys jump some kid with a cannibal corpse shirt and a swastika tattoo; he got out of there quick. I really wanted to enjoy Cryptopsy more, but at that point I had been awake for something like 48 hours and had eaten next to nothing.
