Day 2 was nowhere near as enjoyable as day one. The only saving grace was we made friends with this couple in line and they made a beeline towards the couches and saved us one. My ass stayed right on that couch from 11am until we left. It was right in front of the video screen that showed both stages so I got to see everything without moving. The only problem was drunk people who kept getting pissed when only one of us was sitting on the couch. When the kid got up to see in this moment, I had to lay across the couch to stop anyone from trying to sit down. One guy came over and was like sweeping his hands and I was like nope. He walked away going I hate you man. I hate you because I want to be you. Yeah okay buddy, keep walking. Overall the crowd was very different on day two. Angry music. But not good angry music. Loud yelling music. And it was annoying. It brought out the cholos (for ST), the bikers (FFDP), and the angry raiders fans (which include the first two types of people). There was tension in the air all day.
We saw some decent bands like Halestorm. For me though the day was just too much. As the day wore on it got too much for the kid and she wanted to leave. We left right before Ozzy. Sorry Oz, you picked the wrong day to play.
We were out of there at 7. Made it back to the hotel by 7:30, stopped for Thai food across the street from the hotel, and spent the rest of the night in our rooms. It was wonderful. I went to bed at 9:30 and couldn't be happier.
Fly home today, home by 2, teach tomorrow 10-2, then full days Weds and Thurs. Friday we drive to Everett for our anniversary! Go us!
