Dirt Fest 2014

We saw all kinds of unique people at Dirt Fest 2014. There were bitchin' beards, blue hair, bloody babes and basically just a lot of folks that march to the beat of their own drum. This is a collection of pictures highlighting those brave, trendsetters -- we salute you.

Thanks to these guys, we get to have an up close look at how drunk some folks got at this year's Dirt Fest. This guy is so wasted that he can't even put his shoe back on after it fell off. Well, he can it just took a few tries.

Well another Dirt Fest has come and gone and I gotta say this was my favorite Dirt Fest to date. It's really tough to say what band was my favorite but I would have to say Nothing More, Nonpoint, Battlecross, Powerman and Killswitch Engage all put on unforgettable performances.

Yeah, we're a family-friendly festival. One little girl proved that by getting a bird's eye view of the action in the pit during Battlecross' set.
