Sterling, Earl and Mr. Ao were ready once again for the annual rock festival. This year's lineup included headliners Rammstein, followed by Staind, Cold, Kittie, Dislocated Styles, Downer, Toadies, and Crossbreed. We love this festival because the bands usually sign autographs in the autograph booth, so you can guess where we are most of the time. Off we went...

       The first band scheduled to sign was none other than Crossbreed. We didn't know much about the band at the time, except for the single "Underlined", but hoped they were nice guys. James Rietz (lead singer), Chris Nemzek (Guitar), Charlie Parker (Bass), Flip Marquardt (keyboards/sampling), Travis Simpkins (drums), and Izzo (turntables) finally showed up and sat down at the autograph table ready to sign.

       Each one of them loved our comic book board creations (basically big index cards) and happily signed them for us. All of them were very friendly and they also handed out some cool promotional autographed items to go along with what we had. People that go to the festival don't usually have items for the bands to sign like we do, so we really stand out in the crowds and the bands usually make a big deal about it. We thanked each of them and were off to wait for the next band.
