Saturday was a day of epic greatness! That pretty much sums up what I'm going to say here so unless your bothered about why just except that and move on to something else, like I dunno Tuesday.
Anyho for those of you who don't know I spent Saturday attending this
festival down in Donnington. Objective see Iron Maiden and have a day of total metal mayhem!
Kick off! Seven thirty am I'm up! Strewth I've never seen seven thirty in the morning all this year up until now dispite it being the time I'm ment to get up to go to work but I'm up now and in the shower with a headache. Yup thats right I'd been out drink the
evening day before and dispite what Trev will tell you there was something suspicious about the Stella that night or it could of been the fosters earlier who knows the point was there was bad beer somewhere along the lines that day. But I digress, at around quater to nine I recive a text from Steve the nice fellow who at the last minute decides to step in as the K Dogg Dropped out (due to being a pennyless student, anybody wishing to donate to the get the Dogg out of Debt scheme send me lots of money I'll make sure he gets it, honest) saying that something had come up and he wouldn't be able to make it. Ah god damn it! Oh well I suppose if something majors comeup I'll just have to drum up the cash for two people, about £112 pounds (£40 ticket £16 minibus) hopefully i'll be able to get some money back from a tout.
When I meet up with the gang they kindly don't ask me to drum up the extra cash and instead they split the extra cost of the minibus between us all and agree that well just sell the ticket on the door, this is all very kind but I feel a tad guilty. Boarding the minibus its time to break out the hair of the dog and we spend the trip down supping tinnies - oh and stopping at services stations.
The Festival, well you know its going to be good when you walk into the grounds and several people are strewen around dead (not literally I hope!) and you see somebody about to have sex next to a billboard and you relise its one of the chaps your meeting. After that things kinda went downhill, morally speaking that is with more sex drugs and beer then you can point Ozzy at.
Maiden brought the house down - talk about a show and a show and then trebeling it that was coming close to them. Although my one complaint would be sound it really should of been set to eleven rather then the eight or possible nine it was at, but then it probably would of put off the pilots trying to land their planes at the near by airport, actually the whole concert was a tad quite music wise - for a metal festival that is or maybe I'm just going deaf?!
On the minibus back in a kind of drunken half asleep/dead hallucenagenic dream like state I say a ancient wooden abariganalesc mask with black/green sweirlyish eyes laughing at me in a mocking way even though it didn't move (apart from the kinda swirly eye things) or make a sound. and there was a arm and hand completely seperate from the mask that was trying to kill me, and just as it was about to it picked up a pint glass and gave me a sort of cheers salute with it. Now if I was a psycologysit I'd probably spout some rubbish about it being my inner self recognising that i'm killing my self with beer so the evil hand thing dosen't have to bother, but i'm not a psycologist so I won't. The mask thing? oh that's probably just the drugs.
Arriving back at Bradford I stagger over to the taxi rank and theres Steve - the cunt can't of been that bad a thing if he's just been out on the town with Paulie G! He informs me that he didn't come as he had a hangover I inform him that his a twat and that we all had hangovers but still went, or at least thats what I try to say I think it was probably more along the lines of "I like feeding smack to Wobbles" or somesuch and ended up getting a taxi back with them, which wasn't to bad as they paid for it, more then less.
Anyway Objectives:
See Iron Maiden - Completed
