Where: Virgin Mobile FreeFest at Merriweather Post Pavilion
The Virgin Festival this year was amazing. Good music, good food, good people. I had tons of time in the beginning before any of the good bands went on to kill time with my friends by singing karaoke, checking out the different stands, and getting a photo pretending to be in bed with a hot chick. Taking Back Sunday used their set time to the fullest, playing all of their top singles and songs from their new album in an hour and a half, Jet was rocking Merriweather with their loaded tambourine and cowbell, Public Enemy protested the war and economy along with their sick rapping, Weezer and Rivers Cuomo didn't even have to play their instruments to sound good, and Blink-182 just stole the stage as they did when I saw them at Hershey a couple of weeks ago. Blink's fart jokes and changing of lyrics into vulgar were greatly appreciated as well. For free (well, 15 bucks for me), was well worth it. I even got some laughs from folks in the bathroom by acting like the Tourette's Guy.
