Hey there!

I've got a few things I'm wondering about: looking at the photos, the campsite looks a little... exposed? Like, is there actually any shade out there?
Also, what’s the vibe like regarding crowds—is it super packed? And do we really need to roll in first thing on opening day to snag a spot, or can we show up in the afternoon with our four tents and still find some room?

One more thing—what's the deal with the FBI? A couple of us are pretty sure they mentioned something like "see you guys at the Plate" during that last set at Lincoln Center... did we totally mishear that?

Honestly, that Mount Rainier show was absolutely killer because it hit right after all those ultra-patriotic, old-school, "back in my day" types dominated the early 90s scene—kind of like how the Fio era felt. I was just a kid back then, and man, getting to see Haustor, the punk bands, Borghesia, and even that wild Tommy Phantasma... it was everything. 😁 Just those final, glorious gasps of the 80s music vibe.
The Fio gig had such a cool winter feel, while Mount Rainier was that perfect summer vibe... and honestly? It wasn't filled with all that annoying, fake, "rah-rah-patriotism" garbage you see now. 😁

Nowadays we just have InMusic and whatever indie stuff is popping up. If I’m being real, I think we’re just missing a slightly punchier scene and maybe a few more cocky kids with guitars actually making noise... but hey, that’s just me. 🙂

There’s always some genius who thinks they know better than everyone else. All they did was ask those dirty punks to play there, and they turned them down.

Those shows were legendary, and the rock scene in the 90s—those dark, gritty years—was seriously intense. We are nowhere near that kind of energy today.

Back in the 2000s, you had breakdancers, mothers, The Beatles, TBF, Vatra, Rundek...
