| I woke up in my own tent fully dressed so it must have been a good night. I dont remember leaving the festival or much after arriving at the tent with the bar, I think it was the X-Ray tent but still not sure what it's called. The weather was shite, cloudy and rained nearly all day. I awoke with a shocking hangover and beer was definately not an option this time. I got up and had a shower and still wasnt quite ready for the day ahead, I was keen as for Pennywise and Arctic Monkeys so decided I had to stick it out. I went with Frank to get some food [which didnt go down well because of the hangover] and then see Postman and met Eri there, it wasnt until they actually started that we realised we'd missed Postman and this was the following band Panic! At The Disco. I wanted to see Panic! anyway so I didnt mind. Frank and Eri liked Panic! too and said it was one of the best shows from the weekend which was a good sign. We had a beer and that just made me feel even worse so I headed back to have a lay down before Pennywise, I set my alarm so I'd be up for it. I was up but not because of my alarm, I accidentally set it for 14:50 or 2:40pm instead of the 4:50pm I wanted. Pennywise we good, I didnt enjoy it as much because of the rain and my hangover but it was good still. After this I got in contact with Frank and Eri and they were with the other guys so I caught up with them and started on the beer. I figured it was the best way to get rid of it, drink until I felt better, it didnt help much but I stuck it out and then went and saw Arctic Monkeys who rocked. We watched Arctic Monkeys from the hill on the side of the Alpha tent where people were mudsliding, we managed to get a spot by the fence and just up from the X-toilets [it's just a cross with 4 little sills on it, a portable toilet for guys to pee in, we need them in Australia] which was one of the safest spots. People wouldnt run or slide into the toilet or the fence and we were up hill and wind from the toilet so no worries with them either. By the end of it there were about 40 people mudsliding, some were people who chose to and others were innocent victims who made the fateful decision to walk across the path or watch from the open side of the hill where people had no toilet or fence to save them. By the end there was naked guys and girls in just underwear, I was sure the girls were going to get topless or more when 2 ran out in just g-strings and bras but it didnt happen. After Arctic Monkeys and a few beers I decided to hit the hay, I still felt shite and the beer definately wasnt helping. I got back to the tent and got changed out of my wet clothes, shoes and socks and layed down. Not long after, 2 of the neighbours arrived back and wanted me up again, they even tried to bait me with chocolate.. HAHA.. I got up and sat in their tent for a bit and they were heading back in but grabbing some drinks first so I took my chance and bailed back into my tent. That was the end of me, I fell asleep for a few hours and woke feeling pretty good but it was the middle of the night so I forced the sleep and got some restless shut eye. |
