(but my destroyed body and mind are very happy to be fully baptised in Fest) Maybe yours should read: ...and I am still bummed I missed the Arrivals at the Fail Safe prefest show.
God. Damn. It.

I just got back from the Fest (two days later) and...
I realize that every year when I think "it can't get any better" I'm only proven wrong at the next Fest.

I'll be honest and say last year was better.
This year had some great times though.

it's hard to compare from Fest to Fest. There were a few things that were better about Fest 6, but overall, I think Fest 7 was better.

OK, as far as headlining bands go it will be hard to top Fest 6 for me: Naked Raygun, Seaweed, Radon, Baroness, etc.!!!
But for quality friend hang time this year wins!  If anything, Fest 7 had way TOO much to do. I missed out on so many things but still very fulfilled.

...and I am starting to dig through the Fest roster so I can see what incredible bands I didn't go see and see them next year!

... and I've got Fest Aids, post-Fest depression, and just want to curl up into a ball for the next week.
It's cold in South Dakota.
I had a great time.
