Welcome to Rockville day 1

It is early morning here in Jacksonville Florida and I made it through another night in a hotel which has probably been previously filmed on Cops......several times. Sometimes cities are just cruddy, other times it is a matter of being in the wrong area. You can't get it right every time especially when you travel solo as it gets very expensive staying in hotels anyways.

I get to the music festival and the day is going ok I see one of the djs I listen to online on Sirius Xm and I get to meet Lzzy Hale from Halestorm (waited half an hour to find out there will be no pictures damnit). I hear a few great bands and it starts to rain no big deal.....or is it?

For the second time while traveling I have been around a major weather condition the first time in Antigua Guatemala a volcano exploded and this time a tornado close by

We were all huddled up under an underpass at the music festival and it was stopped not once but twice due to weather. Some of the bands unfortunately lost some really expensive gear due to the storm.

I saw a lot of the bands I wanted to see not an easy feat when there are several thousand people there and it is an absolute mudpit. Hopefully day 2 is better.

Line up for day 1
