So, so many. Nearly impossible to pick one.
Musically: "It's Okay" from Alpine. Being part of the crowd, enraptured and singing along.
For overall experience, though _ the best memory of all was walking down the corridor at the Comfort Inn Suites, knocking on the door and knowing I was about to finally meet RKCNDY and afroannnie, and that together, we were going to finally see all of our unmet friends together at the Wishlist preparty and the tailgates.
Never forget taking a deep breath, and knocking on that door.

You beat me to it, those are two of my highlights from the year as well.0 -
Making friends with the kid working the entrance behind the stage at Alpine on Day 1 by saying, after a few drinks, "hey man we're all human beings- you gotta do what you need to do!" and assumed the position, so that on day 2 he wouldn't check my bags and we could sneak in some liquid to keep us warm. Really nice people working that entrance.
In all seriousness, Alpine was amazing, and Release and It's Okay still give me chills.0 -

An entirely different day.

There are a lot of them.
Seeing EV solo show in Detroit....rolling to Alpine Valley with my brother.....Piggly Wiggly....hanging out at the Hackers Hut on Friday night listening to sound checks.....walking out and seeing the stage for the first time at Alpine....Release...Wash....partying until 5 in the morning in front of the Alpine Valley Resort hotel with some CRAZY people .....splitting a Faithfull Ale with my brother one night after work.
That is just off the top of my head. I could go on and on.
WHAT A GREAT YEAR!!!!!0 -
Getting to see PJ do "It's Ok" for the 1st time @ PJ200

EV in Hartford....slowly converting family and friends to PJholics....last year I took my son to XL center, this year took my bro to EV (who incidentally gave me his copy of Ten cassette back in beginning).If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?0
