So, I'm hanging around the generator stage set-up by Illinois metal band Lori Ann. Frontman CJ, excitedly runs up and says, "mewithoutYou might be playing our stage in 15 minutes." Besides being a phenomenal band, Lori Ann had a nice stage with excellent sound and a prime location so it was plausible. It wasn't long before the possibility turned into certainty. mewithoutYou would be playing the generator stage where I already had a front row seat. Word of mouth handled publicity quite nicely and in a matter of minutes there were several hundred in attendance. I had a golf cart so I pulled back to make room for the crowd and then hoisted my happy self up on the roof over the front roll bar. As I looked around me from my position on the cart I could see excited people on top of vendors' trailers, band trucks, standing on one anothers shoulders and perched on the roofs of the showers and adjacent buildings. It was pretty crazy. Crazy fun.
