There was merch. Had a brief glance but none of the artists interest me THAT much really. Aside from Parker maybe. Didn't see Topography of the Lungs but there were some Parker discs.
The whole set up just struck me as complacent hippy bullshit. Like, yeah just get them to jam all at the same time, it's noise, it's cool, we'll milk these noise hipsters for 15 clams to see this shit. Seeing kids dancing to Mars at Optimo afterwards was a breath of fresh air.
