im pretty impressed how many people can actually remember these long lists of bands they seen over 3-4 days.

i just looked at my Fest schedule. the holiday inn cover shows was pretty cool. wish i could've caught the BTMI! and Holy Mess sets. glad it didn't get shut down during Comadre's set.

Oh believe me, alot of this is hazy, especially late night shows. I'm just going off the offical Fest 10 schedule they passed out at registration.

Mad props go out to the designers of that schedule. Had all the information I needed, and made it much easier to figure out who i saw.

ah that makes sense..i guess i gotta get used to actually thinking again. okay brain, we're in this thing together.

between pre Fest and the end of Fest sunday I saw:

Pure Graft
Fellow Project
Caves
The Outsiders
Shores
Charles the Osprey
Beasts of No Nation
Landmines
O Pioneers
Regents (best set of the Fest)
Dead to me
Annabel
Cutman

Some of those were only a song or 2.

Are all the people listing basically the schedule for The Florida Theater from out of the country? I can't understand people who spend all day there even though they can see probably more then half those bands in the next 6 months in their home state. But that's just me. I go to see bands I may not get another chance to see. Hence all the local bands.

i was at the theater most the time and i live in florida, few hours from gainesville. but i highly doubt even 5 of those bands will be coming to my city anytime soon.. just doesnt happen here.

the smaller venues are definitely the preferred places - but the bands i wanted to see were all at the bigger venues. first time fester and theres always next year (hopefully) to do something different.

I bounced around a little, but was in FL Theater and 8 Seconds most of the time. Hit The Atlantic, CMC, and Double Down too, though. And yeah, there's a difference between seeing bands at Fest and seeing them when they come through the town (if they even do). Even at preFEST in Tampa The Flatliners set didn't have that great of a crowd, but at Fest it was AWESOME.
