I went to the smokout in San Bernardino and here is what I have to say about it:

I got there at 12:00pm and I realized that deftones were gunna be coming on at 10:10pm and I could not leave. So I was like damn. Anyway, I kicked it around for 10 hours until deftones came on. I was right up front in the pit, which was very tight. The gangsters don't know how to mosh or pit. So it was pretty brutal even before the deftones came on. Finally Chino came out along with all the other band members (Steph shaved his head) and all hell broke loose. they opeaned up with root. amond the lineup was, White Pony, To have and to hold, teething, Be quiet and drive, Around the fur, My own summer, Lotion, and headup. I was fighting a crown the whole time, but I did notice that Chino was tearing it up the whole time. It was freaking awesome. Chino played without any interuptions. He never once stoped to cuss out the crowd. It was a pretty good show. Coming from a hardcore deftones fan, Ron
