Over the past 3 years since Farmfests inception it has gone from a farm to a local park in Vero Beach, FL. It has always been a one-day show you could come to and relax and enjoy a Sunday amongst friends in the scene. Farmfest '04 was no different. However, I wasn’t even sure I was going to attend. Troy and Selena wanted to bring out the cover beetle and Anthony from RAW was going to attend also. But all had to back out due to unforeseen last minute circumstances, so I wasn’t even in the mood to drive the hour and half alone. Well all my RA buddies wouldn’t leave me alone so at 8:30pm Saturday night I left my house and to everyone’s astonishment I pulled into Vero Beach, FL at 9:29pm. YES, 59 minutes at an average of about a buck 10 down I-95. I didn’t want to miss any of the pre-party thrown by X-treme performance and Car Audio at the Lucky Cantina. There was plenty of draggin’ going on down the local side street both going forward and Jordan draggin the Mazda in reverse. After the pre party was over it was off to Chili’s where it was 2 for 1. When we got there we ran into Jaime and Jay from Sled Shed in Jacksonville, Florida and they invited us to sit with them. Well around last call everyone ordered another round and some how Kenny (aka lil drunk feller) ended up with 9 full beers in front of him. Yes he drank them all. After leaving Chili’s it was over to the hotel where a lot of the show attendees were crashin. Cops showed up fairly quickly along with a very drunk hotel manager. It was ok though; we had officer Jay "Mitch" Church to help us out. The RA Florida Pres flashed his badge and calmed the po-po down all while stumbling up to his room. He also played firefighter when fester jokingly lit a TV guide on fire and jay decided to "save" us all and put it out with a full bud light down the front of fester. Well that was it for us and we cruised back to our hotel on the beach. Kenny decided to wake up our sleeping roommates, Brian aka birdman and his "wife" Shae, by stage diving through the blinds into their bed. We didnt here the end of that all night long. Show morning was an early start for most of RA. We decided to sleep in an extra hour since me and Scott were "press" and not judges. That didn’t go over to well with Jordan alerting our phones till we showed up. But we werent the only late ones, officer Jay showed up late with a mysterious mark above his eye. Apparently "Mitch" fell into some ones package the night before and got his eye caught on their zipper. I wonder if it will scar?

Scott and Myself spent most of the day riding around with Kevin on the big golf cart me shooting pics and Scott filming for our Rail It Productions crew. The show filled up fairly quickly with rides from Miami to Jacksonville, and sponsors from Speed and Truck World in Ft. Lauderdale to a local Papa Johns sellin pizza. We learned a new word for our minitruck vocabulary I am sure we all can use at any given show, PROSTI-TOTS. Yes, these are all the little 12-16 year olds that dress in all the skimpy clothing and are just waaaaaay to young to do it. I am sure you all know who I am talking about. At about 12:30 the music was goin and the pizza was flowin’. It was time for the pizza-eating contest. 5 guys got up there and went to town on a pie a piece. The first dropout was after 1 piece. His place was taken by Brutus, Scott the dj's dog. Well needless to say Brutus won. He ate the pieces whole in record time. There was plenty going on with Speed and Truck World donating several boxes of free stuff to throw out. But i would have to say the best free item was Fester's empty Newport box. After casually walking on stage a guy in the crowd was yelling at Fester to throw something out. So Fester, being the jackass he is, crumples up the Newport box and yells and throws it. This guy jumped for the box like it was the last crack rock in the ghetto. When he got up he had the biggest smile and feeling of joy, until he opened his hand. I kinda felt sorry for the guy. But hell, it was a damn good laugh. Right before the "hot" body contest (cant have bikini contests in Vero Beach) a local in a stretch GS 400 decided he was gonna show off his ride and do some donuts on the grass. Well he threw rocks and dirt all over a local lowrider clubs rides. And let the ass woopin’ ensue. Hot dogs and pizza among other edible items were thrown. Officer Jay once again flexed his law enforcement muscles and chased them down with about 75% of the rest of the show following. All while on his nextel with the other RA members jokingly saying he was "51 on foot". Unfortunately the "hot" body contest was short lived due to the lackluster showing of affection from the crowd. This all changed when a couple of Eddie Cebreco's female friends got up on stage and strutted their stuff. Soon after trophies were handed out and it was time to put farmfest '04 in the books. After cleanup of the park and a nice quite dinner for us RA members at the local Ruby Tuesday's it was time to go home. This time I took my time. Enjoy the pics and keep an eye out for farmfest '05.
