no wonder this year seemed so much more crowded than last year.

Yeah, I read that somewhere and was wondering if that was true. No wonder I didn't even see most of the people I hang out with every year at the Fest.

5,000 is what we were saying this year. That includes EVERYONE. Bands, roadies, people who bought tickets, guests, volunteers, press, employees of venues, walk-ups.... if you include everyone it's somewhere around 5,000

like was suggested before we (and I mean the rest of you forum sluts becuase it's not like we have anything better to do) should try to make a informative and historical wiki for The Fest
bands who have played all 7 Fests:
Grabass Charlestons
Fin Fang Foom
New Mexican Disaster Squad
Stressface
Titltwheel
Tim Version
No More
Billy Reese Peters played Fest 1-6 (and I hope they play Fest

I'm ashamed to know what you're talking about. You know you've hit the rotting bottom of the internet...

I tried to change to this, "The Fest isn't. It never was or wasn't. Don't inquire further." but it epic failed since wikipedia is all good about that.

As long as I can remember to do it, that page will say something different every damn day. Starting with today! This is fun!
The Fest has become extremely dangerous over the last few years. Many have been mauled and dismembered by rogue street gators, and more than one goat orgy has been stumbled upon by an unsuspecting drunken innocent. The best way to safely enjoy the Fest is to be fully covered in DEET at all times, and to carry a large scythe.
Rumors of a Third Eye Blind appearance at Fest 8 have the punk youth of America in a frenzy of orgiastic joy.

Third Eye Blind would be awesome but only if they played stuff from the first cd, they only had 1 or 2 good songs past that
also the Gin Blossoms would rule

So weird that the 3rd Eye Blind thing got deleted but the rest stayed.
I guess I'll take that as a critique. Avast!
