alright alright.

1.) bring enough microphones.

i have no clue if you had prior knowledge about what was available for the show mic-wise, but make sure next time you have at least 2 vocal mics with stands, and a kick mic wouldn't hurt. if you want i can bring my mics (guitar/vocal/drum) for the next next show and do the sound (for some reason everyone thinks eliot did the sound). take in mind the PA there is super underpowered so i don't even think it'd be able to do much more than vocals, guitar and kick.

2.) maximum 6 bands per show.

why do i say this you ask? because of a few reasons. no one wants to get to a show before 8 o clock. why have bands play that early? its downright mean and hurts my feelings. the only reason this show ended in time is because composted had no setup time and their 'set' was 20 minutes. had they actually set up and played a full set, dysentery wouldnt have had time for a full set. this show ended 2 hours behind schedule according to the original plan. it'd be way easier to have 2 less bands, not shaft the openers with smaller crowds and not worry so much about going way behind schedule.

3.) backline equipment the right way.

yes, bands did share cabs but this wasnt done efficiently at all. there was too much confusion getting stuff on and off the stage. first two/three bands should set up their guitar and bass cabs behind one another so that all that needs to be done is take cabs off and switch kits. and bands that are sharing entire set ups should play back to back (ie horrifying/boarcorpse shouldve played one after the other). this helps immensely.

this is my two (possibly three) cents.
