Sound And Fury was a real event. If I'd put enough planning and resources into the effort, I could've been there. You could've been there, too. Maybe you were. If you were, congratulations. By all accounts, you got to be part of something truly special. If you weren't, and if you pay any attention to hardcore at all, then there's a good chance you've spent the past couple of weeks watching or rewatching the videos, feeling a combination of intense jealousy and dizzy, disbelieving glee. Something like 5,000 people showed up to a park in Los Angeles for two days of hardcore. That's something that's possible now, and we know that because it happened. Even if you were not one of those 5,000 people, that's a great thing.
