just got home today.

 

everything was amazing except for the mud, and the sole getting ripped off the bottom of one of my chucks on the first day.

 

i spent the next two days with it tied onto my foot with the shoelaces.

 

seeing mineral twice in two days was a dream come true.

 

i talked to chris from mineral a little at the double door show, and he said there's a good chance of a gloria record reunion, as well as finally issuing an album they recorded but never released.

 

bands i caught:

 

day 1:

title fight

gwar

failure

nofx

gogol bordello

offspring

janes addiction

 

day 2:
samiam

7 seconds

dandy warhols

the world is a beautiful place

die antwoord

afghan whigs

get up kids

flaming lips

mineral (after show)

 

day 3 (slept in a little)

superchunk

naked raygun

mineral

mudhoney

the cure (got there early to get a close spot, watched social distortion from the monitors while waiting)

 

 

it was a fucking amazing time, and worth all the bullshit i went thru to get the money and make it out there.
 

edit: what ever happened to alkaline trio and thurstin moore being on the bill.

 

i could have sworn they were booked.

On Saturday, I saw the entire sole of a pair of Vans embedded in the mud near the Rise stage. There must've been a ton of wrecked shoes this weekend.

 

Don't ever remember Alk3 in the bill (they played RF in 2012), and Thurston Moore had visa issues.

From what I remember, Al3 was booked but had to back out because they booked the discography shows in Chicago.
