I know noone cares but I'll write a review anyway, so fuck off:
I got there around 10:30, and finally got in just before 12. I caught the end of the Used set, which was cool cause I only like 2 songs by them, and they played one. Good start to the fest. Then Thursday came on, and I was completely surprised that they were playing so early. They only played 5 or 6 songs, including the new one, and moshing in a dustball isn't the most pleasant thing ever. Nothing wrong with their performance, but it was probably my worst Thursday experience thus far, though its all relative, still a great time. I drank beverages and watched the Movielife. They sucked. Caught the end of Flogging Molly's set, seemed like a very fun band live. Ozma was on that stage next, and bored me to tears. I left after 2 songs. Went back to the Drive-thru stage cause Finch was gonna play soon. I went into the pit for the Starting Line to get good position for Finch. This band is worse than the Movielife and getting kicked in the head by crowd surfers while watching a shitty band isn't as fun as you'd think. Nevertheless, Finch came on next and I got the front row for them. Good times, even though there was more crowd surfing crap. They should all die. Seriously. I was completely exhausted after Finch and chilled for an hour. Then I caught Bad Religion, although I was way in the back for them. I'm not a huge BR fan, but they are a good band and I enjoyed the songs that I knew. Then, I ran to the stage where FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES were playing. I didn't even know they were playing this date. Best surprise of the day and also best performance by far. They fucking owned. I really love this band now. I went back to the main stage and made fun of New Found Glory, then left after one NOFX song, cause I was so exhausted. Only band I missed that I wanted to see was Alkaline Trio but they played the same time as Finch and I had my priorities. Overall great but very exhausting time. Blowing brown snot is cool. That's all.
