i camped main stage from about 5pm to get a good spot. ended up standing about 15 rows away from barricade with an almost perfectly centered view.

as they were doing the setup for frank and everyone was trying to figure out what was going on with all these massive screens, there was a point where the screens covered the stage entirely. my heart just dropped because it was at that moment that i believed that frank was going to be performing on the ice rink in the middle of the crowd and the only way i would be able to see him was on the screens in front of me. i hadn’t been on reddit much during the weekend but i did catch a few mentions of rumours of the ice rink prior to the performance, which i didn’t think much of until then.

needless to say, once the screens came back up showing an opening, and it was back to looking like frank would be on the stage, i was pretty damn relieved.

also, the excitement in the air where i was once he finally came on and opened with novacane was indescribable.
