Splendid, Splendiferous Splendour
While the twelve hours there and back on the train were boring and annoying as hell, we had to camp (laugh all you want at the idea of us camping), and it was muddy muddy muddy...it was worth it. Getting to see: Youth Group, Death Cab for Cutie(!), The Avalanches, Grinspoon, Sonic Youth, The Zutons, The Vines, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolfmother, Scissor Sisters and Brian Wilson (singing Good Vibrations and Fun Fun Fun!) was amazing amazing amazing.
Yes we were sinking into the mud, yes i am pretty sure the drunk girl behind me at Death Cab would have vomitted on me had her friend not taken her out of the crowd, yes i almost got wiped out by enthusiastic Grinspoon moshers, yes anna and i had a 'nice' guy say we could stand in front of him because he was tall who proceeded to grope my arse exceedingly obviously (not in a Kanye West 'did that guy just grope me inappropriately or was it just the crowds' way but in an 'i am incredibly sleezy and lecherous and obviously grabbing' kind of way), yes that guy at the Vines concert threw a cup of his own urine onto the crowd (thankfully in the opposite direction), and yes we met Bryce who took an immense liking to us and didn't shut up for the entire train ride home (16 hours from tent flap to front door) but everything that happened just made it one of the most outrageous weekends ever.
I just wish we had've brought gumboots.
