One of the most enjoyable gigs of the year, at the Mansfield reformatory where the Shawshank Redemption was filmed a metal/alternative festival with tattoo and body modification vendors.  The crowd is amazingly cool and chill and a sense of humor pervades the festival.  Two years ago the promoters has 1000's of pounds of little die cut sperm cells made.  They used these instead of confetti in the CO^2 cannons on mainstage.  For months we were finding those damn things in cases.


Our system use old and new, FBT Muse 210LA mains and Meyer 650-R2 subs with the original processors, a Galileo 408 processor (that is also used for delay fills) for setting up steering on the sub array.  This flat configuration is non optimal for steering as there should be space between the boxes. 


Mainstage features Slipknot, Pantera, Megadeth and Limp Bizkit.  Should be another fun year.


One little note to the small operators, and we still are small.  When I wondered into PSW about a decade ago I had two Olds Silhouette vans, a bunch of old gear, an X32R (first in CLE that I know about it for a hire company) and our brand new to us QSC KW122/KW118 I had just gotten by ass handed to me at a gig and I was begging for help.  We grew almost completely organically and despite me being in end stage renal failure waiting on a transplant the company is now kicking ass and taking names with a killer call list and a decent inventory.

It didn't cross my mind.  Next year.  You would have a blast.   You could come up in Feb. for Burning Snowman.  A giant 6 story snowman is set on fire while we freeze our tails off with the bands, one year it was 6 degrees!
