Mayhem fest sounds awesome metal music all day long, I really wanted to see Underoath and Mastadon they are so good live. Standing out there all day in the sun can really take its toll on people and make you lose your energy fast, I think the only way to get the energy to make through the whole show is an energy drink. 6 Hour Power is a great energy drink to get your energy fast and it lasts!
6 Hour Power is the energy drink that you can feel fast and will last! 6 Hour Power will help to enhance your concentration and improve your performance at whatever you’re doing at the moment. It’s not like those other energy drinks that will bring you up and then crash, 6 Hour Power will give you the energy you need and that’s it! Did I mention that it’s sugar free and comes in 5 delicious flavors?!
Go see for yourself at http://www.6hrpower.com/
I am brand ambassador for 6 Hour Power, and ever since I started working for them I find whenever I need a little pick me up an orange 6 Hour Power definitely does the trick!
I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by posting on your blog, and if you have any questions or want more info feel free to shoot me an email. I would love to know what you think of the energy drink!
Feel it fast.
Energy that lasts!

Great show, but Airbourne should have been on the Main Stage and Disturbed the Headliner. Many left after Disturbed finished. They rocked the house. Slipknot so-so, but not as intense. They do have a great drummer though, Joey rocks. Dragonforce always great.
