Rockfest Backwash: Tweets, tats, tits and randomness from the show.
We reviewed the experience, now its time to see what has washed up on the Web since hard rock hooligans took over Liberty Memorial Park this past Saturday.
But first, check out this amazing and oddly MO-centric (apparent) prison tat.

Viral video-wise, I haven't found anything to compare with last year's video of a hooligan taking on the cops, but here's a quickie stitched together by ListenUpShow that gives a feel for Saturday's heat-and-crowd-fest.
There are, of course, no photos to compare with the ones taken by our indomitable rock photojournalist Scott Spychalski, but If you search Flickr with filtering off, you can find photos that show a seamier side. In the one below, I have cropped all of the central figure's distinguishing features (save boyfriend's back) -- but, by all accounts, scantily clad women sitting atop boys in ways that compromised their modesty was a common phenomenon at the festival.
Plogmaster Justin Kendall contributed a photo of some post-concert misfortune.
Kendall also got a photo of this dejected jalopy, marooned on the I-35 and Broadway off ramp.
Rockfest or ... Bust, definitely bust.
Local musician Bobby Topaz (aka Wayne Hutcherson) of the Abracadabras gives his take.
Twitter was on fire.
Today, people raved post-fest.
@Phippsi Is it Monday already? All i can say is ROCKFEST '09 freaking ROCKED! 98.9 steps it up each year and this was certainly no exception.
@bhalter Rockfest was awesome. Lost my sunglasses, got sunburnt, and am a little broke, but had a load of fun. =)
"Thanks for the mammaries," say these two dudes.
@SamboniMachine Still hungover from Rockfest. Saw some boobs. Boobs are good.
@ralphdagza I think I saw more than 235 raw #titties at #rockfest yesterday. I have 235 titty pics on my iPhone. Thank you ladies. http://bit.ly/3LPjd [link NSFW, obviously)
For some, it was a time of reflection.
@mfisher3535 The good news is I'm more normal than I thought... the bad news? I had to go to Rockfest to find that out. Good times though.
Others who did not go wondered about those who did.
@Raysa all of my coworkers who went to rockfest saturday.. are all sunburnt. bunch of red people walking around the building today.. wow.
@wallacewilson I know too many people that went to RockFest this weekend. I need to reevaluate my acquaintances. Korn? Buckcherry? Really?
Moving further into the past... Paramedic anticpates casualties, drunks.
@ERBrad Rockfest may be the worst day of the year to work in the ER. Anticipating loads of intoxication. Hope to [see?] some fun drunks.
And, even further back, found these from the fest itself.
@jbow83 Listening to Corey Taylor play the "Cheers" theme at Rockfest! Fucking awesome and ridiculous!
