the hfs, was a surprise this year, for many reasons....first off the surprise guest was Jane's Addiction!!!! that would have made it worth going alone, although, i do agree that a short set-time did hinder their performance, but it was still nice to hear the new material, which, Surprising to me mixed in well with the old favs, and no Jane Say's HA! It made me more pumped for Lollopalooza (too bad, it's a nissan)...another surprise of the HFS was that more bands then not really put on a good performance, the used was fantastic, the roots moved the unfamiliar crowd, afi and audioslave were both cool, I though chevelle was average although i like them, and good charlotte was the band that seemed to interest the majority of the audience and there set pleased there many fans...the final surprise , well almost, was that the crowd was slightly less obnoxious as in the last couple years...maybe it was the lack of scorching sun, which wasn't further frying the underage alcohalic frat boys, but most people were well (i use that losely) behaved.
the final surprise was that after audioslave set i left to find my window busted.....BUMMER, i quess they weren't as well behved as i thought..
