Didn't your Momma (and Max) tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your trap shut!!! Personal experience tells me that Matt and Kenny are fine folks... I'll be there with all 3 days...

There's always someone to stir up the sh1t. I think if you knew them personally, you would feel differently. I went last year, and if this year's event is anywhere close to last year's, a great time will be had by all involved. Hate to see you miss out, Bro.
