It is a lovely day. The sun is shining, the breeze is sweet with the scent of the Atlantic, and the rockers are ROCKING (no chairs were involved in the rocking).

Imagine, if you will, a western themed casino. Olde Tymie facades of buildings to the left and to the right. Howling coyotes above, crazy creepy stuffed prospectors below. And trains, trains, EVERYWHERE. In the midst of the western themed casino, draw with your mind’s eye a stage. Should we call it a stage, or a platform of glory? We’ll just call it a stage. It’s shorter.

Upon this stage of fantabulosity, the brave warriors of rock raised their plastic instruments high in tribute to the glorious sponsors of the competition (at least that is what we are telling the sponsors).

Awesomeness

All the bands were able to practice for 15 minutes on the small stage before graduating up to the main stage to be judged under the cruel eyes of our benevolent judges. There has been some fantastic costumes, dance moves, and styling. Some of the highlights include the LED lit elvis, foot long spiked hair guy, and full ghostbuster geared bands.

We were afraid

The reactions from regular gamblers who happened to wander by ranged from besmirchedly amusemed to WTF GET ME OUTTA HERE AND KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Rapt

Stay tuned for pics and winners.
