I could be wrong, too.
OK, let the bullshit begin:
It was a great show, and I got a cool shirt from the merch stands - one of the purple-tinged DTP shirts with Devy screaming on the front. I wanted a farting Ziltoid Riding the Waves shirt, but they sold out of my size before I got to the stand in time, and the next size wasn't big enough. Pleh. Doesn't matter, I like my choice.
Meshuggah had a pretty decent set, and they played a song from Koloss, Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion, which pretty much sums up my experience in the front pit. Never before have I been in a crowd that truly felt like it was a meat grinder. Especially during New Millennium Cyanide Christ. Good performance that left me dehydrated.
Then comes Devin. Was happy to see the Photoshop slideshow (even happier to see my Ziltoid Balls picture), the Meatball video, and a bunch of other random clips that Dev played with Ziltoid until the show started. I wanted to bring a spatula into the show just to see how Dev would react. Of course I left my flat this morning completely forgetting to do so. I settled for shouting "SPATULA!" like a dickhead instead, which Dev just brushed off before asserting himself by talking over the crowd. The set was awesome, Dev was awesome, and pretty much the only part that left me sad was not having one of those green wristbands which got a few people up on stage. I don't even know how you could have got one. Was it for people who got in early, did they pay for them? Never mind, that crap aside at least I got to be up front, and it was good. Can't wait for next year.
