I fucking hate festivals. That being said, I had a really good time. I agree with Chris on all the bands he listed (though I didn't really pay that much attention to Against Me). Naked Raygun was a bit of a letdown for me, but FLAG more than made up for it. I'm still pretty bummed that the weather caused us to only get half a set, but the half we got was insane. So, so good. I hadn't seen Rocket since their farewell show in San Diego, and they completely tore it up.
I also got to hang out with Chris Shary, Brian Baker, Marc Maxey, and even Anthony for a little bit. That was a nice bonus. I posted two albums worth of pictures on my Facebook (that add up to about 2 of Chris', in terms of quality).
The festival wasn't perfect, and the weather on Sunday threw everyone for a loop, but overall, I think the promoters did a pretty good job and I hope it comes back next year.
