I arrived safely home from our Tomfest trip yesterday evening. I promptly showered (I'd been in a car for 21 hours), watched an episode of My So Called Life, then fell asleep. The trip was great, the drive was beautiful, much fun was had. We had a great time at the festival. We saw a ton of bands and met some really cool folks. My favorite of the new bands we discovered was definitely Quitet by Ten. If I had to compare them to anything I would compare them to Havalina Rail Co., which is one of my favorite bands ever.
The last band we saw before we left was MxPx, who I hadn't seen live since Warped Tour at least 8 years ago. I used to see them all the time at the old Soma Live in San Diego when I was in high school. They sounded pretty much the same and put on a really great show. I felt like I was 14 again, especially when Phil, Dave, and I, in a crazed fit of nostalgia, all pushed up to the front of the stage and got in the mosh pit. I was quickly reminded of my advancing years when, during "Punk Rock Show", I got kicked in the face by a stage diver and nearly blacked out. Things like that didn't use to phase me at all. I got my first battle scar in years, a bloody lip, and I wore it proudly as we headed back to the car. It was totally worth it.
Wow... MxPx? Heh... that is kinda' funny.
Ha, yeah, people tend to steer clear of me in the pit but this dude jumped off the stage and practically landed on top of me.
