Ozzfest is awesome! I highly recommend it to anyone. I had not originally planned on going with Smulkin and the boys, but I changed my mind at the last minute, and I am SO glad I did! We liked it so much in VA that we're going again in August in PA!

Black Sabbath was amazing! You would never know by listening that those guys are as old as they are. Ozzy puts on one hell of a show. Second stage bands like "Every Time I Die," "Lacuna Coil," "Devil Driver," and "Lamb of God" were so good they should have been on the main stage. Honorable mention goes to "Bleeding Through" for pumping up the crowd. I'm not much into "Slipknot," but they had the whole crowd moving. Not much of a "Slayer" fan either, but Smulkin is, and he seemed adequately impressed. I'm sure he'll throw his 2 cents in here.

But Caren, and anyone else who's considering going, get off the fence and buy your %#$@ing tickets!
