WOOOOOOO!
As everyone else has said, the fest was awesome. I liked everyone (even the non-UM folks grew on me by the end) and the music was superb. Favorite sets were (in no particularly order): Asphyx, Malignancy, Pentagram, and Magrudergrind. Downtown Baltimore is still a really depressing place, but the fest was too good to let it get to me.
Highlights:
-PIZZAQUEST 2010 with Grant and Andy
-LUNCHQUEST 2010 with Grant and Jeremy
-Getting along with Chris. I was worried he would school me on some political theory but we just chilled and talked metal.
-Slamming it up on youtube Sunday night with Brad, Schmidt and Jeremy
-Headbanging right behind Guy during Asphyx (no homo)
-Spending 50 bucks at Sevared Records
-The bizarre Portal semi-mosh
-The polka at the beginning of Rompeprop
-Trying to make Kevin (Eligos) think that I was talking a lot, he just wasn't listening when I was (kinda true).
-Making Mort is a pedo jokes in real life.
-Trying to figure out what Onder means by "post-fucked" and "pre-fucked"
-Speculating on how to get Onder to go next year
-Contemplating the meaning of "A Portal to Fucking Nowhere"
-Being in the front for Pentagram
-And many more I can't think of right now
I'll upload photos soon. Get ready for some blurry band shots and our goofy group photo!
And I'll leave you guys with me getting kicked in the head during Magrudergrind.
