...there goes my hero watch him as he goes...

I saw... Queens Of The Stone Age yesterday. Guess what? THEY ROCKED MY SOCKS. I got SO fucking close to them. Like... I could see their guitar and bass strings. I was like. WOW. Right at the beginning I was slightly to the side but as soon as they started we all went bonkers. It was amazing. Jumping, pushing, aiming our bodies at other people.. *sigh* Fun.

Then in the middle I was in this vaguely 'quiet' area (directly behind the main moshing area and in the center) watching the Queen's just rawk. At the end I started jumping again, even though people in front and behind me were being party poopers and just not moving. I felt like telling them to MOVE THE FUCK AWAY if they weren't going to join in and have fun. I mean. That was a huge reason for standing right next to the people throwing their bodies at each other.

Ahh. It was lovely.

Then I saw The Coral who were really good. I stood next to NurseMan (TM).. basically this man was wearing a nurse's uniform and it was great. He was going ballistic during each song and most people moved away and gave him these 'what-a-freak' looks but I loved him so ya know, I stayed near him. OH OH OH and when they played 'Dreaming Of You' everyone there just sang and danced and didn't care about the people around them. Fucking great.

After that (haha) I went and saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Wow. =) They were realllyyy good. Again they played my fave song (I Could Have Lied) so I was really happy. And all their little solos in between each song were ACE. Flea played his trumpet halfway through. Haha. It was great. Um. I had soo much fun.

Two days ago I mentioned Gary. Right basically while waiting for the Foo Fighters to perform (waiting, but not quietly.. ohhh no) this guy was standing behind me, late thirties or so. He stood there asking me who the Foo Fighters were and he had never heard of them. I did not know why he was there except looking for his friend but in the end we talked in between most songs. He was completely drunk and out of it but really funny and nice. GARYY! He tried to protect me from the crowd as well which was funny, so yeah. Gary is my drunken moshing friend from the Foo Fighters who caused me to laugh loads. =)

All in all a GREAT weekend but now I'm aching everywhere from jumping around A LOT and from being bashed and everything but so fucking worth it. Haven't had that much fun in aaages. Woo........ Oh! And I got a Foo Fighters t-shirt for Hazra and a QOTSA t-shirt for... ME!!! =) Fucking A.

Hehe. I'm still excited about this festival and then I think what a weird week I've got up ahead of me. GCSE results this Thursday (oh fuck me now.. no not literally) and then on Friday.. me AND Hannah are going to Reading. Fucking class.

...cant stop addicted to the shindig...
