This week, 311 celebrate their fans and their music during a three day festival called 311 Day. We sent two 311 superfans to give us the diehard's perspective about the show, the crowds and the vibe of the greatest 72 hours in 311 history.

Wow. I have been in Vegas a total of four hours, and I have already had the experience of a lifetime.
I had the opportunity to interview the band that I have loved above all others since I was in the fifth grade. I spoke with Nick, SA and P-Nut (my dog's namesake) and they were all absolutely amazing. They were very kind and thoughtful. The guys talked about how they really appreciate their fans (obviously, as we are the best) and how 311 Day is the equivalent of their Grammy Awards. 311 truly love their fans, and of course we love them right back. They are so incredible.
My co-winner Dave and I were also given a tour of the stage area (while P-Nut and Chad were doing a sound check!) as well as the area where the 311 Day webcast will be produced. It is quite the production. They showed us a preview of the HD webcast, and it looks absolutely amazing. If you can't make it to the show, you have to order the webcast. I will probably order it when I get home!
Now I'm off to the fan party at the Mirage. It's gonna be a good night, and Thursday will be even better!
