Show Review

Pictures

You can check out Matt and Carolyn's reviews for a more extensive look at the event that has evolved into its beastly present state (I've never heard of it selling out a venue in Massachusetts before). I wanted to add a few images that I took throughout the day and I do realize that I am in desperate need for a new camera. One huge inconvenience for the day's event (anyone who attends in New England is constantly driving to different destinations each year and this was the first time at the Tweeter Center) is that the two main stages were separated by about 100 feet and one was forced to walk around to get between the two stages - huge pain.

I'm not sure if it was the 30 minute set times or an early onset of senility but the day flew by in a blur of noise. The highlights for me included Chiodos' set (singer Craig Owens was found sitting at the Cinematic Sunrise booth earlier in the day handing out samplers), Poison The Well having to stop their set twice to yell at the knuckleheads fighting in the crowd, another bloody mess that occurred during Throwdown, and Underoath closing out the show (and their Warped run) by bringing the noise.
