There was also that dude who died at Bonnaroo and was found during the cleanup inside his tent and then that lady last week who had the stereo tower fall on her at that Canadian country music festival. Lots of people dying at festivals this year.

Thats the problem with APW. It aint really a good festival unless people are dying during it.
Atleast have a few tazings or something.
