I still have the issue of needing to rush home Saturday night to be in the pulpit on Sunday. Having to drive 300 miles/6 hours doesn't give me much time for sleep. I will have to pass.

I'm considering myself lucky that it's only an hour and a half from me. This will be my 2nd time in two weeks driving over an hour for a concert (I drove down to Louisville to see Weird Al last night)

My wife kind of "forced" me to go see Weird Al in concert more than a decade back. I never counted myself a fan, but she really wanted to go so we went. The performance was incredibly good. Al is an accomplished musician and a great showman, it was a great show.

Back on topic, the festival was a lot of fun. The turnout on Friday was a bit small (500-600 people maybe), but there was a good crowd both Saturday and Sunday (probably at least twice the Saturday crowd), and people showed up from all over the country. One person drove in from Cape Code with friends from New Hampshire, another couple drove up from Birmingham, a guy from Long Island Metal Church was there, the guy who runs The Metal Onslaught was there...
The biggest downside was the guest speaker - his message was about how the antichrist is going to use artificial intelligence to try to control society during the tribulation (no I'm not making this up - look up "The A.I. Invasion" by Billy Crone on YouTube if you're curious - apparently he's gone pretty in-depth on the subject). Other than that (and not having internet most of the weekend - they turned off guest WiFi on Saturday and left it off Sunday because it was causing problems for the bands and those who needed the internet for legit reasons, and cell phone reception is non-existent in the main part of the venue), it was a lot of fun. They're already talking about doing it again next year.

Sounds like it was a fantastic weekend full of great music. Your "Holy Holy Holy" video turned out great.
