Big Day Out!
Woot! What a fun day! Hanging with my friends J and T (pics of us are below). Hardly any Aussie flags (compared to last year) and not so many thugs!
(thats me with the chuppa-chup)
I even managed to knit between acts (ok, during John Butler Trio but he was a bit boring. Bring on the Killers!). The Killers did not fail to please thats for sure. Peaches was a great show visually (i admit i only know Impeach My Bush), and Little Birdy was lovely. Lily Allen was a bit disappointing. The Herd rocked out. Loved the Spazzys (go femme-Ramones) but wished they played more old stuff.

The Good
Not so many Aussie Flags = not so many Yobs. yay!
The weather – overcast and 25 degrees C. No sunburn.
Seeing a girl in the crowd wearing a Crafster Crafty Pirate T-shirt. We rock.
Hanging with J and T – that was the best bit. Too fun!
The Funny
Getting hit in the head with a beach ball in the Mosh Pit, and then getting slapped on the back of the head by a guy trying to hit said beach ball. Hurts, but was pretty funny…
The guy in a blue mu-mu and a leopard print fez – rock on!
The chick in the wheelchair, with “Walking is for suckers” written on the back.
The Bad
The queues – OMG a queue of about a hundred people to use the ATM?!? And not to mention lining up to get an alcamaholic beverage…. 20 mins at least!
Donuts. I love donuts (and can smell one from a kilometre a way) but theirs were rock hard. I’m not exaggerating – think stale bread roll. sigh…
The line up could have been better i think…. Looking back, i dont think i would have bought the ticket except I thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers were touring as well….
The Ugly
I left my ID at home so i wouldnt drink. Little did I know that certain areas were only accessible to over 18s and they wouldnt let me in (how can they miss my wrinkles!).
Drunk guys (esp with no shirt on). I had a guy walk up to me, say “Hey Red!” and literally shove me and walk off. WTF? And no-one wants a semi-naked sweaty 20 yrd old male rubbing up against them. Well maybe some other boys i know, BUT NOT ME! EW EW EW.
And lastly, me piking at 8.30 pm…. i had a stomach cramp since 11.30am when i skulled 2 V-energy drinks on an empty stomach and i couldnt take anymore… So my lovely Boi offered to come and get me and drive me home (aaawwww… hy rocks my world! and hy had risotto for my dinner waiting!)
