I thought the show went incredibly well (but I might be a little biased). No major issues, the bands were all great, and everyone was very cool to hang out and work with. Highlights of the fest for me were Widow and Manilla Road (although I was so tired by the end of Saturday night that I could barely stay awake). Chilling at the hotel with members of Sacred Dawn, Twelfth Gate and Widow after the show was also cool...those guys are all crazy. Ian probably has more interesting stories than I do, though...
The attendance was decent; there were more at the venue on Friday than Saturday. There definitely should have been more there for Manilla Road on Saturday night, but we were competing against Origin/Misery Index that night, along with other shows around the area. Nonetheless, still a great start to what will *hopefully* become a KC tradition and will continue to grow throughout the years.
