I'm a short girl with almost shoulder length brown hair. All weekend I had a shoulder bag, black with the words BROADWAY CALLS written on it in red letters. I sometimes wore a grey Lifetime zipup hoodie. Friday I was rocking a brown Strung Out shirt, Saturday a green Polar Bear Club shirt followed by a grey tshirt later on in the evening, and Sunday just a plain white t-shirt most of the day.

(I remember all of this because I'm currently doing my weekend laundry at the moment)

I was the drunk moron wearing a Punknews.org shirt who got on stage pointing to his shirt while the O Pioneers! were introducing their song "Punknews is stoked".

nothing i wore was really "memorable" cept my stenciled arthur rimbaud shirt. yep, and i was with a girl the whole time.

I wanted to meet you but I had no idea what you looked like. I was at the one reason show, the crazy girl up front practically on stage, i think i surfed the crowd too... Do you have a tattoo on your leg that says chewy-something? if so then I definatly saw you.

Saturday was the day I saw the most bands and I managed to do so because it was lucky that the majority of bands I wanted to see were all at the same circle of 4 venues - the Venue, Side Bar, Common Grounds and Market Street Pub. I literally spent about 3 hours criss crossing between those 4 clubs and sacrificed seeing some full sets in order to catch at least a little bit of each band playing when there were conflicts. For example, I watched Banner Pilot for 10 minutes than ran over to Market Street to catch Above Them who were playing at the same time, then went over to the Venue to see Guff on the side stage.

i.e. lots of running around but I managed it.

I was the guy who was literally waddling around all weekend because my thighs were rubbing together and skin was tearing, I was wearing a comadre shirt for the last couple days and a stripped black and white collared shirt for the first couple.

Met some nice people at the abc although I will not be staying there next year, talk about a walk.

CHUB RUB!!!!!! i think quite a few people, myself included suffered this. my only recommendation is more drinking and/or baby powder...

i was in the back for One Reason and totally saw and talked a little to Lawrence Livermore! some dude handed me a One Reason foam hand so i had to lug that around for the rest of the night. i think Saturday i had my Young Livers shirt on and then put my One Reason shirt on over it at the One Reason show. it was a green one. as far as distinguishing features i had a bright red beard and my Chewy tat was covered by my shirt so you probably only saw my forearm tattoos: Bouncing Souls tat on left forearm taken from the back of the Hopeless Romantic album and a traditional style 'lucky charms' on my right forearm, and a couple others.

aside from the pre-Fest show, i think i was only shirtless for Tiltwheel and Billy Reese Peters. i was on stage left? right? next to Davey Tiltwheel during their set and the same spot for Billy Reese Peters, most of the shows i was towards the front except at the Venue's main stage.

which stage? and do you mean the rest of us in general or the band Rest of Us?

most bands had a 20 minute break down/set up gap between sets so a lot of times instead of waiting for the next band to play, i'd just go to another venue and catch a band and then head back when their set was over. even if you left after 10-15 minutes of a bands set, you only end up missing maybe 1-2 songs, depending on the band, and get to see the next band almost right away. the only venue i had any problems getting into was Common Grounds. I'm still shocked that i got in for Short Attention and the Ergs! in less than a minute.
