Troy, I believe I owe you a new microphone after smashing one in a fit of teenage angst. I'll pay you back for it at this show. - Wed, 2 Jul 2008 8:27pm

Troy you kick ass man - thanks so much for making this happen!

I don't even know where to start with any type of review - except to say that with everything else happening this evening - Norway house was the place to be.

Some videos to come - Sun, 13 Jul 2008 1:40am

I had an awesome time at this. Not all the bands were my thing, but there was a good atmosphere and energy all throughout. There were a pretty good number of people present pretty much the whole way through from the very start onwards. Props to Troy for a rad event. - Sun, 13 Jul 2008 4:35pm

And that's the thing, isn't it? You don't have to like all the bands, but as long as you come with a good attitude and have a good time, that's all that matters. Yesterday was pretty much perfect, and I'm already getting stoked on next year.

P.S. You guys ruled, by the way. - Sun, 13 Jul 2008 8:15pm Edited: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 8:15pm
