music, friends and alcohol!
What more could you want???
tis been awhile since I lj'd, but not alot has happened. not compared to the next few months ahead.
well this weekend we headed into wales to what was originally the 'get off the internet' festival....
40 bands
12pm - at least 12am
80's matchbox headlining
our very own carpet playing too
but alas, 80's matchbox wanted paying up front, and were expensive too! fuckin money grabbing twats! they haven't even got a label at the moment. so the festival was cancelled........... or was it!
another bunch stepped in to rescue it, and now carpet were headlining!! hell yeah!
not so many bands now, but still plenty of music to fill the day.
princess and I headed to rhyl to pick up half of the rhyl crowd and headed up. we finally found it.
now it was at a venue called hendre hall! now to me that conjures up a vision of this large stately home/farm house with acres of land.
what we got was a old farm house, not very large and when we got there not very busy at all!
but we accepted we were here and thought 'what the hell! let's get drunk!' we were met by one of the guys who was running it looking very stressed who told us it would be starting a bit later than planned, couple of bands had let them down and you couldn't consume your own drink inside..... :o(
well, needless to say some jager was hastely consumed and off we went inside. the inside was pretty much what the outside of the venue was, an old slate farm house. they have weddings there! eek!
it was quiet, not many there and it was a bit crap, but we're party people and make the most of what we had on offer.
the day proceeded with drinking, missing some of the bands, ting and I erecting the tents half drunk, or at least I was especially as I'd drank quite alot fo the secret jager and about 3 pints....hehe
had a drunken convo at the bar with a guy from one of the bands about slipknot and tattoo's and slipknot tattoo's!
drank some more
we then found out that the 'free' bbq, wasn't exactly free, it was £1.50 a go for to be honest quite awful bbq food, but when the drunken-munchies are hitting hard you'll eat anything.
I was getting quite pissed, and I'm sure I pissed off at least 2 people... sorry!
Later on as we all sat out of the rain chatting, I kept thinking of jackass and then about what jackass-thing I could do! So I twanged(can't think of anything else to describe it) my head torch into my forehead, ouuuuuuch! then again! double ouch! It wasn't until abit later that Gary(I think) commented on my head, and then my better half, scilla_violet, told me that my head was bleeding :o)
The night progressed, I drank some more, was abit norty, and then got ready for carpet, or got bungled into the main room I think, it's abit hazy. All I know was that once carpet struck that first drum beat I was up, myself, my princess, the jenmeister, amyfuss and ting, rocking hard to the mutha's that are 'Carpet', check them out http://www.myspace.com/biffthetramp
they're awesome!!!!!
Headbanging with a shaved head isn't as easy as it is with masses of hair! It just doesn't feel right.
So after the worldwind that was their set we, well some of us headed back to the tents. Any plans to stay up partying dissappeared and my princess and I headed to bed.
Good nights sleep and then back to the real world!
Abit of a crap blog but I try.
Anyway, overall....
Poor venue, overpriced drinks for what is basically a farm
Some 'ok' bands
Carpet awesome!
My friends, cooooooool as fuck!
My princess has the patience of a saint! Love you baby xxxx
well, time to gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! bye
