Candy in the van?

Maybe it was because the weather has gotten everybody down, or maybe it was because we have been standing all day, but we were definitely more into Piebald's set than most of the crowd was, even though some people were singing along and the band gathered the biggest crowd we had seen all day. (The mellow audience watching Days Away comes in a close second.)

Coming off of a six-week tour, lead singer Travis Shettel said that the band was excited to go home and sleep in their own beds, but from the performance you wouldn't have know that they were tired. Near the end of the set, Shettel even climbed onto the guitarist's shoulders while they both continued to jam. (Hopefully there's a picture of that in the Collegian Photo Gallery! Our camera wasn't quick enough to catch it!)

The band invited everyone to their van, "Thor," to buy CDs and let the crowd know that "we have tons of candy in there if you want any..." and then said that they'd be around at their merch. table after the set.

A weather update: the rain that Lidz brought down fizzled out, especially after Shettel told it to "Stay up there, you!"

(Also, the kids, dogs and hippies seem to be fizzling out, too.)
