Kanrocksas: Day One Photo Gallery Friday

Kanrocksas is off to a hot but fun start out at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, KS. By 5:30 things were humming along nicely as nine bands had already played sets on four stages spread across the speedway infield as crowds continued to grow early consuming tons of bottled water (and beer) but seemingly enjoying themselves in the heat with music playing form all over. Mother nature was also helping out with some cloud cover. Here are some photos we caught of the early goings on at the inaugural Kanrocksas. Keep coming back to this page for all the photos from day one.

About John Coovert

John was fortunate enough to be born in one of the most magical times of cinema: the eighties. Having an ultra cool aunt that introduced him to awesome sci-fi (Alien, Aliens, Terminator, Predator) and horror (Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Jaws) on VHS, and a cool mom that took him to the theater to see films like Back to the Future, Return of the Jedi, and Goonies, it's no wonder he fell in love with one of the finest forms of escapist entertainment, film. John continues to appreciate all forms of film, actively seeking out information and discussing it with all who will listen.
