So Friday was the Big Day Out and it was fuckin hot! I thought with my recent trip to Cairns that I would be able to perfectly balance my sweat to liquid in take ratio. I wasn't quite right, but I did okay. Only had to pee a couple of times and I drank a fair bit of water. The toilets there are usually very unpleasant, but I managed to find the ones that were kinda okay, they smelled outside, but were pretty good inside. I didn't really see all that many bands. We started out by listening to the first local band of the day, but I didn't think they were that great, so we went and watched Sick Puppies, they were pretty good. It's a bit hazy after that until about 1 when we went and had a ride on the Dodgem Cars and I won, it was great!!! DJ Ian, one of Carly's friends was DJing, he was playing some cool music. Some time after that, we went and listened to Evermore and Adam went to buy more drink tokens, returning about an hour and a half later ... in fact, a lot of the day was spent waiting for Adam to return from peeing, only to have him come back with a wrist band, or more drinks, or who knows what.
Adam and I went in to the mosh for Eskimo Joe which was awesome, they were hosing us down and the lead singer told us to hug the person next to us, so Adam hugged me and I hugged the cute guy next to me. I freaked him out, it was awesome. After that was John Butler Trio, they played their only song I know first, so I heard it as I was walking away. Carly and I took our chance to eat then and I had free Nandos =O). After that was the killers, I lost Carly in the MASSIVE crowd, so I went to the top of the Grand Stand and took some photos. Here they are:
After that I went and sat in the pavillion where the Dodgems were and relaxed for a while, just listening away, then the guy next to me puked, so I moved. After that was Bob Evans who was AWESOME!!! He did a cover of Ticket to Ride by the Beatles and it was the best!! THE BEST!!! After that it's a bit of a blur too, I was fairly tired by that stage so I just sort of went where Carly went and then drove everyone to the shitty for HJs and then home at last.
I was absolutely wrecked when I got up yesterday afternoon, I got out of bed and spent about 90 minutes sitting in the same spot before I could move properly again. I managed to get through my shift at work, after which I met Carly for coffee and desert, it was nice.
I slept for a long time when I got home this morning and now I feel much better =O).
