Short review,
glad it wasn;t scorching hot like 1 or 2 weeks back. but it was still too hot for my taste. Next time would it be possible to do it in may or sept. the Middle of summer is just a bit unreasonable.
But I do know that it was the 50th anniversary.
Over all , the bands were great. I thought the sound guy was a bit heavy handed on the lows and highs on the EQ. would have been nice if it wasn't so curve heavy, and also bring down the volume just a tad. And this is comign froma guy who likes shows loud.
But it was over the top loud.
I really feel bad for all the vendors, who many said people were't buying much. I understand, but at the same time I think many that were there. Were for the event, and may not have the deep pockets of some So. Cal. Hoity toitys. I bought 1 cd from a band, and di a trade with chongolio for a hawaiian shirt.
When you have a all day event like that. things are bound to get off schedulle a bit. next time, maybe add extra time for between band set up. So Movies can start before 9:30 or 10 pm.
I was so tired and the 2nd movie( forgot the name-but it had the dude and the bugs) was so bad I was like ok Check Please, I'm outta here.
I was a bit bummed more people weren't there, but there was a good solid crowd of all types that The Jab mentioned.
But over all it was really great event, Hope they have more.
By the way great to see some at the HB pier the next Day.
Bongo Fury, Crazy Al, Mean Jean, come to mind, sorry if I missed any.
But was Bummed that The Jab, and Chongolio didn't make it. I know you guys had other plans or obligations. That's the problem with So. Cal. so much to do, so little time.
