day 3

last day already!? Still havent hit the beach for some reason. I really wanted to. A little late to check out, but we made it :) Packed up and left the home away from home. Hometown buffet awaited us this time. lole. DIdnt eat much, never have an appetite for buffets for some reason. Traveled back to the disorganized festival , waiting almost 2 hours outside bfore getting in. Finally inside, realizing there are ins and outs this time. Being stoked about it. We pick up enough merch to empty our wallets, not much but just enough for us. Hung out for a little bit then decided to leave for the beach. The beach was a bit of a travel but it was totally worth it. The water was freeezing! Not pleasant to be in but i was very happy to be with my love. It was a highlight for both of us that weekend. Killed some time there and headed back to watch the rest of the bands. We got hungry so we took advantage of the "in and outs" . Had some tacos and a beer at some restaurant that didnt care to card us both. Those tacos were amzing. im craving some right now! By the time we got back, On was in the middle of their set. I walked in alittle closer and someone socked the right side of my face. It was a nice surprise/welcome back to the festival. As the day
progressed, everyone sat around worn out from the short weekend in oxnard. Pieces of plastic like frisbees and 99 cents beach balls amused us while we waited between sets. I forgot how amusing to see people getting hit onthe head with a frisbee. I got to throw it and it didnt go far but i got a kick out of it. I think Sabertooth Zombie should always play saff. There crowd is as entertaining as they are. SHook Ones are a favorite to sing along and dance to. Always impressed with their energetic sets. The Rival Mob started with a song most the crowd didnt know what to do with but played a set that was memorable. I was stoked to finally see them live. THeir set i anticipated the most. I hope to see them more in so cal. Reign Supreme is ready to play bigger and better music festivalls, shows. This band is going to be big! their new stuff is great, its louder, its harder. Watch out first blood! Dude's getting ripped and more ripped! Everyone knows who Betrayed is and we all enjoy their sets, singing along. Non-stop stage dives,
applauding between the straight-edge bands songs. They continue being inspirational with their words, lyrics, energy & positive attitude towards life. I think it was great how they admitted things theyve done and why. Respect to that. The new stuff is great as well. Well, they are back, Boston's Guns Up! that is. Over the past 2 years, they've had uncooperative crowds, kids on stage. Make it thisyear as well. Towards the end of the set, a fist fight between the security guard and a kid on stage went down. There was a lil brawl and pepper spray involved and a few several cop cars. Drama? totally. That proceeded and Guns up! finished their set...leaving a "suprise" ...tt outside. yeahh..suprise suprise. Sound and Fury for the most part disappointed me, leaving me questioning "am i going next year?" Its going to take a hell of a good line up! They gotta make up for this year. Maybe i expected too much? just me? I was just happy to have my man around this time around.
