We went to J's, were she kept us for like an hour because she wasn't even ready yet, resulted in being late for the big day out thanks to the horrendous traffic. The car trip absolutely sucked. I always get so car sick and it was so hot.
We finally made it to big day out for the middle of Josh Pykes gig. I was so upset I missed the start. He was fricking awesome.
We saw
- Josh Pyke, -He was fucking great, I like him a lot.
- Midnight Juggernaughts -Awesome, I was a bit distracted by the fact that we met them and they're such babes though but they were great.
- Dizzee Rascal -Ha. AWESOME! loved it. He's hilarious. Some fucking dickhead climbed up the lighting post and they had to stop the show for a bit because he was such a jerk.
- Hilltop hoods - Unfortunately, we happened to be sitting by their stage. SUCK. That's actually the third time I have seen them, we saw them at big day out in 2006 and they played at schoolies as well. At the schoolies show, I had my nose pierced at the time, and.. we were at the front of the stage in the nosebleed section, and the nosebleed section came on, and the crowd got pretty excited and were flailing around, and in the flails someone punched me in the face and I got a nose bleed. Nosebleed in the nosebleed section to the nosebleed song. AWESOME
- Augie March- Are lovely. that is all.
- Grinspoon-Were actually pretty great. I was impressed.
- ARCADE FIRE - FUCKING ROCK!!!! holy crap so fucking awesome. I love them even more now. They played all the favorites and were so frick awesome, they had the stage filled up with their instruments. At the end the drummer jumped down and sprinted through the crowd with his jump and jumped over the barrier in front of us. He was so close. I wanted to catch him. During the concert Josh Pyke was standing like a metre away from us. WOW.
- Silverchair: are the worst band in the history of the world. I want to snap Daniel Johns for being such a complete tool.
- Bjork: Was amazing! She played Hyper Ballad oh god... BRILLIANT.
- Rage against the machine: what the hell is all the fuss about? I don't get it. I didn't like it.
- Carl Cox: I don't even remember I had lost it at this point.
So when we were sitting down, we were sitting near this other group of people and there was a boy laying on a girls lap and he kept looking at me and smiling. I said to B we just HAVE to be friends with him he's just the cutest thing ever. So he came over and asked for a cigarette, and we got talking and stayed together ALL day. He was by himself because he had went with his girlfriend, and she had dumped him as soon as he got there. His name is Regan, and his girlfriends name was Megan (hilarious) and he introduced himself as, "Hi, my name is Regan, Regan... like Megan only instead of the SLUTTY you get an R." best call ever. So anyway, this boy is like the most awesome person I've ever met, and were probably moving out together next week. He's like an adorable puppy.
J and P know the lighting people in the boiler room so they got to do the lights for a bit. We Were really really off chops and somehow we ended up in some kind of foam jungle there. I saw some people do some things at the big day out that really made me feel sick. There was a fight I was witness to where this big fucking muscly dude just was relentlessly Bashing the fuck out of this skinny dude. No one could stop him, and every time he managed to walk away the dude came sprinting up and just threw him to the ground kicking him in the head and stuff. It was horrible. I was sitting with R in some field, and we were just people watching, and there were two smallish women walking along the path and a huge obviously drunk fucking disgusting bogan middle aged man was walking along, The girls were wearing hats and the man smashed it off her head and knocked her over, and stole her hat and walked away laughing leaving her crying in the street.
After Big day out ended we left R and went to the Casino where we were meeting some friends who were staying there. They weren't there yet so we went down to the beach and there was a group of lovely boys on the beach drinking and playing bongos. They stripped down and went swimming and I sat drinking with the bongo people.
J was being a fucking bitch and screamed at everything I said for the next like... 15 hours. It was pretty intensely awful being near her.
We went to the casino and met with the people who were staying there. They are bar tenders from family. They just gave us so much free booze and free drugs it was ridiculous. I think I ate like 15 pills. We wondered around the casino for a bit, really really dazed and got some 3$ drinks. It got to like 6 or 7 in the morning and I was tripping balls really bad and wanted to go home. J cracked the shits yelled at me and wouldn't take anyone home until 3. Even though she said she wanted to drive there, when we got there she was all " I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I WANT TO DO". The lovely people from family we stayed with all day and we had a sleep and went to the pool and stuff.
I've seen and spoke to R a few times since then. He is so lovely, I hope this moving out works out.
