i felt horrible for the bands involved. they were out there al day, and there couldn’t have been more than 100 people total in attendance, for the day, for the festival which went from 10 or 11 in the morning to 9 p. m.
this photo kind of summed up the experience — not because the bands were bad, but because there was a lack of energy due to low attendance.

Lorin Rhyne rest on her mother, Carey, between sets at the festival. They set up at the ‘Shut Up and Sing’ stage, near the drum stage. ‘Jingle,’ a miniature longhair daschund, rests at their feet.
