DUDEFEST 2007!

So "DUDEFEST" was held this last weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana. I think it was a success, congrats to the people behind it because they did a great job organizing it. Congrats to all the bands touring for making it to the fest, it's a lot of dedication especially those who traveled overseas. It is the first time i had the great opportunity to meet people from all over, let's see if i can pull up a list, i met people from: England, Germany, France, Canada, California, Texas, Kentucky, Florida, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio and even Indiana and Illinois. It was international and multicultural a lot more diverse than i remember "DUDEFEST" back in 2004. There are tons of pictures that i would like to share with everybody but I am in the process of labeling everything so it's going to take a little bit, i will keep everyone posted though.
I think "DUDEFEST" is a great name for a festival since " dude" is a universal word that transcends all the social implications of gender, you can actually compare it to the word "guey" commonly used in Mexico with the same kind of connotation as "dude". It was also a great place for vinyl lovers and artsy fartsy t-shirts ,and of course, to meet new "dudes". The best part is that with a few pictures you can give a global recapitulation of the most important parts of dude fest. So this is what "DUDEFEST" was all about:
1) Thrashing yourself in the moshpit:






















2) This dude screaming in a really high-pitched voice "yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" after every single song:























3)Partying hard and being punk:
