Unfortunately I left after the canned corn eating contest (to attend a high school reunion) so I missed the radical meditation and The Mazzy Show, but I made it back for stand-up cornedy with Milan Patel, Jen and Rinna, Katie Nguyen, Barbara Holm, Manny, and Carlos the Rollerblader; and CoRn, the KoRn Cover Band.
