This is it...

We drove through the night to make the fest on time. We're still driving and I have the worst gas ever. More to come...

We made a stop at the Vans outlet and I took a piss in the parking lot. No one bought anything, but everyone got to stretch their legs, at least. Plus I found out that Hank bought the shoes I wanted to buy. So whatever. Rode the rest of the way down to Daytona listening to ZZ Top and 108, and adam sandler. "Gotta respect the completion!"

As soon as we got to the fest, we met up with our boys in Lie and Wait and all went to Fazoli's. They brought out a literal basket of bread sticks for our table of degenerates. I ate three plates of pasta and headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Toothbrush fest 2007 occurred and I then took an awesome dump. andrew kept peeking over the stall at me and making me uncomfortable. He even took a picture of me taking a shit. Everytime I laughed, I farted and shit at the same time.

Went to the Army surplus store. Everytime I go to places like that anymore, I always think of "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas. Borderline White Power dudes selling borderline sketchy stuff. Got back in time to see Judas and Hollywood rip. Hollywood covered Refused and Hank moshed like he was in a war.

Lie and Wait killed it. The reaction was awesome with Matt Smith getting most valuable mosher for their set. "Shattered" is ridiculously heavy live.

When we played, I was mad as hell. We haven't practiced since early december, so I was sketched out about playing in front all those dudes (and mosh girls). From the first note, i had the biggest smile on my face. All of our friends went apeshit and made every sleepless night and 12 hour drive worth it.

Foundation destroyed with a non-stop stagedive assault. Ryan Wood stagedived on top of me. But not just stagedived, he did like a flying cross-body block and both of us went crashing to the floor, laughing. Worst mosh move of the year goes to Neil Jewebia for his face first bellyflop. Somebody moshed the chandelier and glass went everywhere. The mosh continued, ECW style.

The rest of the fest ruled. I got serious chill bumps during Have Heart.

Insane.

On my way home. Rusty has old man death farts.
