Foam Wonderland suds up Austinites
Crizzly and Triad Dragons excite many students who were ready to rage
Hype filled the Austin Area and got thousands pumped as they prepared to get loud and have the time of their lives in a crowd full of foam on January 18 at the “Foam Wonderland” show.
Crizzly and Triad Dragons got together at Austin Music Hall with what is reported to be the word’s largest foam cannon to put on a concert promised by the organizers to be “so epic that you’ll never want it to end.”
“Foam Wonderland was a really fun concert that crowd surf events put on. I was really excited because the artist headlining the show was Crizzly who happens to be born and raised in Austin,” sophomore Luke Shippy said. “This show was almost a homecoming for him.”
Due to the amount of excitement spread about this event, the anticipation for the show was just as large as the crowd that stretched around the building and on to the streets waiting to enter.
“After about a 15 minute wait we went into the venue and it was packed. They had to start directing people to the second tier because of how many people were on the main floor,” Shippy said.
The event completely sold out, which filled the 2,000 person building completely.
With so many tickets sold, the building was so packed that at times the audience hardly had any personal body space to move around in.
“You could hear the bass from outside and once you got in, the music kept you so hyped even being there for more than five hours,” junior Rachel Johnson said.
Though many claimed the building was too packed the event was a success according to Oh Bleep Events and didn’t let down those with high expectations.
“It was a blast. It was pretty much exactly what I was expecting and I would definitely go back if I had the chance. The music was awesome and I loved the location,” junior Paige Meyer said.
The crowd was left anxiously waiting for the foam cannon to blow. Once it did the audience was ecstatic and ready to rage.
“Once the foam was turned on the concert was a blast,” Shippy said. “Crizzly played a fantastic set and it was a really great time overall.”
This year was the first that the show was put on in Austin and it turned out to be a major hit according to the people who attended. The storm may have ended but the memories will stay with the people forever.
“I definitely had the best time of my life. It was an event I’ll never forget and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my Saturday night,” sophomore Sloan Mckay said.
