This was a big rock festival and my first major concert event (discluding
the odd rave event I've been to). My intention was only to be there
for a day I'd phoned the ticket centre's and all the weekend tickets
had been sold out and only weekday tickets were available. On entering
the site I soon realised that a weekend ticket wasn't really needed
so I bought one day tickets. Full weekend tickets were available when
I got there but I'd already bought my first one day one so It wouldnt
have saved me anything. I met up with one of my best on-line mates and
a girl I love to bits (she's been there for me more times than I can
remember.) She ignored me for the whole weekend unfortuantley (due to
being nervous she said) but we've sort of managed to work things out.Things
don't always go to plan, especially in my life ( I can't remember a
time when something actually want to plan :o) .) stuff between me &
her isn't exactly the same as it was although at the time of writing
its only been a few days. I hope things get back to how they were, plus
I hope I get to meet her again someday.
The bands however were excellent in particualar Queen Adreena and
Limp Bizkit which were my favourites. Big Bands such as the Stereophonics,
Placebo, & Pulp, all rocked majorly and I went for
a mosh when Slipknot came on. Most distinguishable moment was
our Mr T flag and full credit goes to Richard Hamilton
for that one, the flag became infamous due to one member of the group
walking into the crowd doing Mr T impressions, chants such as "Shuttit
Foo" and "I aint gettin on no aeroplane" brought amusment
to the masses. The said guy then crowd surfed with flag aloft and actually
got on camera quite a number of times, such fun. Oh yeah I managed to
christen my first night at the event by falling head first into the
fire due to copius amountsof alcohol, though on retrospect I probably
would have done it anyway without being drunk (I always was a bit clumsy)
Another mentalist was Chris who at the Queen Adreena
event took a photo of some girl then snogged her, and looked like he
was buzzin that much he was going to explode, nice one for that.
Overall current feelings are I've lost a best friend and gained a love
for big rock concert events. I'm working on the best friend thing though.
She's got a boyfriend now so I spose that isn't helping and she doesn't
feel she can talk to me like she used to, something I'm really quite
upset about, but like I said its not been a week yet. I'm sure things
will go back to normal eventually, its a shame if it doesn't. Anyway.......................
