Hey there, that was me. We actually talked on JKMB, but I have been a lurker on this site for years too.
My Sonic Temple experience wasn't so great. The crowd was pretty rude where I was at and the constant crowd surfers had me turned around about 50% of the set. I'm bummed to hear it was one of their best performances, because I didn't get to really appreciate it. I bought a ticket for the Pittsburgh show in August to make up for it, looking forward to it. What I did hear was great though, they sounded at the top of their game. Better even than when I saw them last, in 2007 at Projekt Revolution (where I bought that Julien-K shirt!).
