5 Awesome Fest Things
1. Best band I’ve been waiting forever to see: Are you fucking kidding me? Marked Men!
2. Most “I feel like I’m in a huge warm hug” moment was a tie: Worthwhile Way’s whole set and The Bananas leading us all in an acapella version of “Nautical Theme”
3. Best Cover Song Moment: Comedian, Kyle Kinane, whistling the loudest during French Exit’s cover of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”
4. Best band I didn’t know much about: Neighborhood Brats made every band look like a bunch of WIMPS.
5. Best Comedy set was a TIE: Kyle Kinane and the Maxies made fun of everybody.
5.5 I wish I could mention EVERY BAND! Best Awesome Fest EVER! (You can leave this out if you need to, Daryl.)
