weekend review

so, on wednesday we packed and on thursday we drove for hours and then walked and queued for hours and that sat and ate and drank for hours. and then we slept.

FRIDAY.

what an exciting day friday was, i actually had some energy and my feet didn't feel like they were going to fall off. the day was started by future of the left, who i have loved both times ive seen them, but i cant seem to get into their album, i will try though. next blood red shoes who were fantastic and be your own pet who are splitting up and are apparently celebrating by drinking lots. then i saw florence and the machine who were also brilliant, her voice is just amazing. then, BIFFY, who played all stuff off of puzzle apart from 57 and mountains, it was really good, but i missed the oldies. decided to miss mgmt, cuz i was freezing and needed a jumper. then saw qotsa who were great (obviously) but they played a pretty odd set. then rage who im so happy ive seen, i dont think i'll ever be their biggest fan but they were great.

lunch: bacon sandwiches (cooked by ryan)
dinner: sausage with onions and chips with bbq sauce.

SATURDAY.

saw george pringle first thing saturday, she was good but not great, couldn't hear a lot of what she was saying though. then saw chris hicks and ross sutherland who were great poets, really enjoyed them. then saw the first few songs of the subways who were good but nothing special, but missed the second half of them to see robin ince who was SO funny. saw that woman off tonightly too, who was rubbish. next LOS CAMPESINOS! who blew me away, the tent was packed and completely mental. didn't see black kids and only saw a bit of justice and a bit of alkaline trio because i felt sick. all in all saturday wasn't that great.

lunch: baguette with sausage cheese and onions
dinner: pork, mash and stuffing in a giant yorkie

SUNDAY.

well, sunday was pretty crazy, we heard on wednesday that slipknot had cancelled and that bring me the horizon would be replacing them (by opening the stage) then when we got to the arena we heard that avenged sevenfold had cancelled as well. but we went to see mindless self indulgence anyway but they pushed back later and later. very confusing. but we went to see robots in disguise who came on stage in a giant glitterball and had dancing robots. then saw plain white t's getting bottled when there was still no sign of msi. saw johnny foreigner who were ACE. loved them. missed emmy the great to see some of msi who were really really good and then saw crystal castles, who were amazing as usual. finished off the day with tencious d and metallica, who were both FANTASTIC.

lunch: bagel with brie and bacon and potato wedges with cheese wedges
dinner: pepperoni pizza

then on monday it took us 4 hours to get out of the car park and ours wasn't even the one that caught on fire. since i've been home my throat has been sore, my nose and ears have been blocked and i've been absolutely exhausted.

but, i had a GREAT weekend.
tempted to go to leeds next year though, getting a bit fed up of the people at reading.
