Rockfest Observations

I attended a couple days of this year's Rockfest in Cadott, WI for the first time. I won't go into a full review here, but here's a few observations about this festival.

1. Parking is easier and the grounds are a lot smaller than Northern Invasion in Somerset, WI.
2. If it rains, be prepared to find cover and/or have rain gear handy. Lesson learned on the first day.
3. If you don't like an act on the main stage, there's plenty of bands performing on the side stages. I got to hear great music by Midwest acts KingShifter, Emergent, Cold Kingdom, Screaming for Silence and others on some of these stages.
4. The pit area in the main stage is different, it's actually sunken in between the stage and the general seating area in front. Be careful in there, it's a full concrete pit!
5. The most unexpected thing I saw was a wedding on Sunday - a couple journeyed from New Orleans to get married on one of the side stages after Screaming for Silence's set. Glad I was there to experience this, I still have the monogrammed handkerchief from the ceremony at home.
