2003 will henceforward be known

2003 will henceforward be known as “The Year I Finally
Made It Down To Macrock”. “Almost”.

Luckily though, the remainder of the Nedia.net
Street Team was
able to make it down to Virginny and report back.

Of note:

  • Ida was to “headline” the second night, but someone got sick or
    something, so they couldn’t make it. Therefore, the “headliners” were…
  • Matt Pond PA, who were #1 stunnaz
  • Bro. Danielson is apparently his same old normal self; He dressed in
    a enormous tree trunk suit and admonished the audience to sing along to
    every song, by following the bouncing ball (the assistant’s laser pointer)
    as it moved along the lyrics (projected on the wall by the assistant)
  • Ian McKaye, I’m told, has aged gracefully and grown, whereas his
    fans, apparently, have not. “IAN, WHY DON’T YOU WRITE MORE SONGS ABOUT VEGANISM?!!”,
    “IAN, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT PUNK-PORN?!!!”
  • The Mountains Goats turned in a great set on Friday, and whattya know, here it is,
    (It’s 50 megs, by the way. Hear that sound? That’s my server, crying.)
