But the cooler evening temperature, 10 degrees down from the day ' s high of 86, foreshadowed the events to come.

The bands, which included Mr. Potato Head, Information Society, Sidewinder and of course, Fishbone, put on a fine performances.

Folks were trying to get over the fence near the front of the stage, said Wolfstock treasurer David Forrest. There were better ways it could have been handled, he said. Public Safety Sergeant G. Person refused to comment about the incident shortly after the show. However, according to Kris, Public Safety thought it (the pushing near the fence) endangered students. Fishbone lead singer Christopher Gordon Dowd sadly stated to the crowd as he left, We love you but some people don ' t. • An overall view of the entire Wolfstock stage between the performances of Information Society, Mr. Potatohead and Sidewinder.
