Yes, I know, not much of a review of a band as great as X, but you know they're good, so need more be said?
Bottom line: The festival organizers put together a great line-up of music for the fans. Among those we weren't able to catch were Steel Pulse, Joan Osborne, The Ohio Players, The Iguanas, and even hip-hopsters Rob Base & Kurtis Blow.
They also did a fantastic job of balancing the vendor-to-patron ration, so one never felt inundated with someone trying to sell you something - and when you did want to buy something, like say, beer or good eats, the price was respectable for a festival of this size. I've found that to be one area in which many organizers stick it to the fans rather than sticking to the music - kudos again to them for avoiding such a mistake.
Thanks again for allowing us the opportunity to attend as observers and for taking a chance on something as new and innovative as Blogcritics. Hope to see you next year!

*Ahem*, actually, he DID say that it was "fucking awesome" and THEN said "I just made my night." I decided to end his statement on the bad word. So there.
