Wow, the Big Day Out ROCKED!!!! I am not in a fair bit of pain, I got sunburned, as one does at these things. I was also kicked in the head and punched in the back a few times. I won a 5 foot inflateable phone which I will probably either take to the beach, or sell on ebay. It was such a pain in the ass to carry around. I bought a stubby holder and a hat (after I'd already been burned) which I wore in the mosh pit and almost lost. I ended up waving it around and using it to wipe away my sweat.
The living end mosh pit was INSANE!!! Out of the last 5 bands it was the biggest. White Stripes had a smaller one and I was too far back to really mosh in Franz Ferdinand. Iggy .... well what can you say about iggy? He's like an orangutan with ADD. Magic Dirt were awesome also and I enjoyed Sarah Blasko. End of Fashion provided us with a nice sound track to our dinner and Faker and Gerling were a nice way to start the day. I LOVED the White Stripes, I couldn only sing along to a few of their songs, but they were all so different and GREAT!!! They used so many different instruments, it was amazing!
My legs ache from the sunburn, I can only sit hunched without experiencing massing bolts of pain down my back and my face looks like a swolen tomato. I couldn't be happier. Pictures later.
