so yeah, my first full 3/4 days at a festival, and it was fantastic, pretty much got to see everyone i wanted to, and a few nice surprises too
Had a great camping spot right near the village and arena, but still not too loud to get a bit of sleep
left at about 2.30am sunday/monday so didnt catch what i found out was the proper riot, (after sunrise) did see a lot of fires thou and explosions and ppl pulling things down
highlights for me was Tool's headline set, mesmerising... finally saw Engerica and they didnt disappoint, great set Reuben were on form, best ive ever seen them, similarly Alexisonfire were amazing, id seen them before and the sound hadnt been upto much, but it was a great performance this time, and my discovery of the fest Dredg... id heard of them but never checked them out, i was in awe by there set, fantastic
essentials!
yes yes, we should have all got 2 second tents
more essentials, and the pack horse moving them
"we didnt pay all that money to kick bacon at a fence"
yes thats bacon, it'd gone weird in a matter of hours
sunset on thursday
the planes were that low, the airport is across the road (thursday)
not sure the novelty of the keg was worth carrying it there
kav juggling friday
invested in a trilby to avoid sunstroke
Engerica, on the myspace stage Friday
a fair few ppl showed up for Tool
End of Tool's set
mmm warm shoe beer
shoe beer II
wtf comes to mind, he musta been hot
that saturday mid festival trip to sainsburys was worth it
CHEESECAKE!!
opperation desert storm... the place was a dust bowl it was so hot
Kav riding the penguin, his effort was pathetic
my fave stall.... iced slushy margaretas
angry scots were trying to take over im sure...
mid explosion.
great time had...
done a day at work today booo, only 3 more then I'm off to north wales for a much needed holiday... so i wont be around much until 25th i guess
