<\/p>\nOh Alive and Well Fest, it’s been over a decade, but I remember you well. You were much more memorable than your concert tee.<\/p>\n

sjm-md<\/em><\/p>\n Talk about your stacked line ups. Sadly, the Trusters and I didn’t stick around for the second day because there was a Madball show in Worcester the next day. Yes, you read that right, we went home to see Madball and I don’t even remember who instead of Burn, Breakdown, and Floorpunch. “Don’t blame me, I didn’t drive there” is the only excuse that I can offer. Some highlights that I recall:<\/p>\n -hearing sketchy noises galore coming from boarded up buildings along the boardwalk as we walked to the convention hall. Strangely, I can’t remember a thing about the Fury of Five set. I must have been hit in the head.<\/p>\n
\n-it being my first time seeing Underdog and 7 Seconds. Neither disappointed me in the slightest.
\n-Murphy’s Law having what seemed like half the crowd come up on stage with them for the entire set.
\n-Hare Krishnas giving out food. I do not remember if it was good food, so I’m guessing it wasn’t.
\n-DHU and the Follow Through Crew owning it with stage dives from the main stage during SOIA.
\n-Madball playing a bunch of Look My Way songs and the pitting frenzy they created making me finally realize that it was a good record; it just had underwhelming production.
\n-Hearing even more sketchy noises coming from the buildings along the boardwalk while Btrust and I walked around listening to the Michael Graves fronted Misfits from outside and talking about how we wished it was Danzig.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
