My write-up

Bloodstock

Day 1 - Thurs

8.15 woke up
8.35 joe arrived
8.45 to sheas!
forgot my ticket lol
oops! sorry!
we still had to wait about an hour for rob shep alan tarrin neil and hannah as shep forgot his ticket AND MONEY! lol
we were lucky to arrive at bloodstock at the same time as the vikings!! :D
awesome camp! had a nice BBQ in the rain with john n charley : ) That was where we met Fiona who fancied me and Isora : ) My fur coat works wonders! :D
It didnt get smelly either! :D
Shep smacked me in the face somehow lol NEW GLASSES!! careful haha
lucky they didnt break over the weekend! lol unlike Alans! :O
He just snapped them in his hands lol
He was sooooooo drunk when he did it though lol
Southern Comfort shots galore!
We sang Bohemian Rhapsody :D
Joes 1st festival! :O
Not many women! : (
My Southern Comfort didnt last long lol
Neither did my 15 pack of Strongbows come to think of it lol
Mud Stock! Wasnt as muddy as V! Thank f*ck lol
I was very glad of my airbed!!
Dunno how Joe, Shep and Tara plus others just slept on the floor without airbed, just sleeping bags!
Double airbeds were only £20! :O Bargain!
Hard to inflate tho without blow jobs.
Wristbands arent as good as Download ones but were ok
Glad I bought a new torch and brolly!
New baby pens are ace too :D
Tiny festival! Compared to how I imagined!
No planes!! :D Short walks everywhere! :D
No lemonade tho : (
My tent was NEARLY waterproof lol only coz I didnt tie the top so it was leaking a bit lol
"If you like Opeth, DRINK!" LOL
Fell asleep thank god through cheese metal and bad singing lol

Day 2 - Friday

I woke up to "Pete! Where's your feet?!" repeated shouting from Joe lol He couldnt believe I could sleep in that tent
First song of the day Ghost of Perdition! :D
I think I had 3 hours sleep max.
Met up with Tara and introduced her to our camp
We watched Evile then Tara lost her tent lol
We eventually found it and she joined our camp
We watched some bands, had a shower (very pleasant!)
Cheers for driving us to the supermarket Joe :D
Mmmm Chicken Tikka, Lemonade, Bananas!!!! :D Bread and Boooooooze!! :D
We managed to sneak at least 2 crates of beer into the festival without getting stamped! :D
Tara introduced us to Den, really sound bassest from Liquid Sky! : )
We got lost, Shep and I a bit squashed in the back of the Fiesta lol
We were lucky to get out of the parking space! Good work Joe and Alan!
Soulfly were pretty good, as were Firebrand Super Rock.
Mmmm plenty of Chicken today :D
Chinese sweet chili sauce too :D
Lovely sunny day!
Shouldve bought a permenant marker to draw on Joes tent lol
Just had to make do with taking it down while he was asleep in it and diving on him lol
Good team work Shep! :D
OPETH!!!!!! :D
F*cking amazing gig! :D
Mikael Akderfelt was super evil tonight lol
Almost my perfect set list, bar a couple of songs
He even played one that he announced, he didnt like lol
Ran outta bananas unfortunately : ( So I was tired and not drunk enough for Opeth : (
Joe was off his face on acid or summat so was only semi conscious for half of the gig
Alan cellotaped his glasses with the tape that was luckily in my behemoth fur coat from pagan fest that was originally bought to fix my viking hat lol
My spare timetables were much appreciated I think
Glad of my waterproof wallets too :D
My fur coat was a great duvet for me on the first night, Tara on the second night, and Joe on the third night :D

Day 3 - Saturday

Still wet : (
Dimmu ace! Best gig of weekend. I wasnt cold or hungry or tired. I was surrounded by amazing friends, it was the first time I'd seen Dimmu, I had loads of energy and I was DRUNK! :D:D:D:D
It wasnt too wet either!
Drank all 15 of my Strongbows!! eeep!
Got absolutely soaked walking home from the big tent and everyone else had gone to sleep! : (
Being drunk meaning I forgot to write a blog lol

Day 4 - Sunday

Ooops I was too drunk, wet and tired to write a blog last night! : (
Dimmu drunk was ace!!!! I woke up drunk with an Australian accent!
Alan and Shep had waited half an hour for me to get up : / lol strange....
They were entertained by my severe leg cramp though.
They pinned robs tent down with massive poles.
The poles used to be the gazibo before we turned it into outfits when it collapsed.
Wish I'd seen Rob stumble out of his tent through the poles and cans that blocked the entrance lol
Joe said to half naked lady that "she could crush a mans penis with her pelvic floor muscle" LOL she wasnt too impressed with that one. was meant to be a compliment hahah oh well
Camp destruction this afternoon!
Mike attacked Mark and destroyed his tent and somehow Alex's tent was nearly destroyed too. Poor Mark and Alex lol.
Coco Pops!!! :D Fire! Alan Rob Joe and I went on the big ride at last! :D Joe threw up on everyone watching lol!
Lovely and drunk for Alestorm for whome the sun came out :D
Wore my gazibo bandana :D

Back in my own bed!! So comfy! :D
Cheers for driving me home John!
Again I dunno how you do it when so tired!
OSI! :D
