Great fucking show. I made sure i arrived there early. I was walking around while everything was being set up. I ended up seeing rob fusco and crew playing some hxc basket ball. I was pretty much just walking around checking bands out unil it dies today was going to play.

It die today: good stuff, they were able to get the crowd moving so early which was pretty awesome. I saw a kid get knocked out which was pretty freaky but all in all a good preformance.

After i continued to walk around and checked out the throwdown dvd. I imeditly left due to the fact i couldnt hear anything.

Alesisonfire: These canadians sure know how to rock. It was also the first spoting of the hulk gloves. I didn't stay for long because i wanted to be sure i caught all of misery signals.

Misery signals: Fucking insane, their was quite a crowd for them. They knew how to get people going with both dancing and getting just about everyone in the front to sing along.

Sworn enemy: They had a line up change but still were pretty damn good being with the changes and all. Started with "as real as it gets" and it was just people going crazy for these queens boys. Unforunetly during "Ids" i cut my arm and was bleeding so i rad to the medical room to make sure it wasnt bad or anything. I got back in time to see them end with "sworn enemy" where everyone including my self got on stage.

Most precious blood: what else can i say, third time seeing them and just like the two other times they put on an awesome show. Someone stage dived feet first and nailed me in the shoulder fucking it up which sucks but i sucked it up. Nice to see them do an earth crisis cover. Also during "it runs in the blood" keith from found dead hanging came up and did vocals with rob. Also funny to see Rob get speared onstage.

Death by stereo: I really wasn't on their side because i wanted a good spot for shai hulud. from what i could hear they were pretty good. I also liked how the singer came to the other stage.

Shai hulud: Holy shit, this definitly could be best prefromance of the day. They started with "My heart bleeds the darkest blood" then quickly followed it into "A profound hatered of man." That was extremely special to me because it's the song that got me into shai hulud. They then followed it with "This song: for the true and passionate lovers of music" and everybody was singing along. Other highlights were "Given flight by demons wings" and "Set your body ablaze" even tho their whole set was amazing. They finished off with "Scornful motives of the motives and virtues of others." At the end of the song i got on stage to sing along. It was simply amazing. At the end of the song i was looking out and i saw the whole field was packed which was fucking incredible. While the band was getting off stage i said thank you to matt fox and hugged him.

Throwdown: The west coast was definitly being represented with throwdown. Started with "Never back down" Even tho my shoulder was hurting I couldn't help but start dancing. when they went into "Raise your fist" All us edge kids started going fucking crazy and running up to sing along. I also spoted whinnie the pooh again which was pretty cool. The set was finished off with "Forever" I also got onstage to sing along with this.

Bleeding through: To start off the band was extremely pissed about stuff being stolen so they had to borrow stuff from other bands. I think it definitly added to the intensity of their preformance. Brandan was like a madman as usuall. my only complaint is that their set was basicly the same set that i saw at day in the park except for like one song. Still a great preformance as usuall.

At this point my shoulder was absolutely killing me so i decided to sit out for converge. Also fo rmost of dillinger because i wanted to get a good spot for loa.

Life of agony: Hot damn, Loa is back and in full force. They started with "River runs red" and it was so amazing to see all different types of people there from metal to hardcore, young to old. I could definitly feel there was a strong unity for their preformance. The new stuff is sounding pretty damn good. I must say they also knew how to deal with a fight. During their set one broke out so they stoped and as security was carrying the two guys out they were making fun of them. Also found it funny when keith said lets forget about the music and all get naked. It all ended with "Underground."

After that i was basicly walking around some of the merch table and i ran into sal from sworn enemy. We started talking and all when we see a shit load of kids running like hell. I was thinking to myself what the fuck. So i start asking around if anyone knows what is going on and i found out that basicly a riot broke out during bad luck 13 riot extravaganza's set. From what i heard people flipped over bleacher,chairs were being thrown, there were smoke bombs, roman candles, lightbulbs being destroyed, and some other shit going on. Now i am not sure to how far of an extent the damage was but it seemed pretty damn bad. So i decided to go upstairs for some reason, i still have no idea why but hey. While i was up there one of the merch guys was giving away a giant blow up dolphin which i ended up taking.
