...highlight of my day came from Brooklyn-born band Tiny Masters of Today, formed by Ivan 13 and Ada 11. These pint-sized rockers were both the youngest and most rock n' roll act I'd seen all day. Despite technical difficulties and near sabotage by a missile Space Hopper (or Hoppity Hop), the Tiny Masters intrigued the audience with their raw punk talent and surreal image.

After considering the important factors of noise pollution and bedtime, we set doors to open at the admittedly un-rock n’ roll time of 7 p.m. On the plus side, we figured this gave us at least an hour before the cops showed...
