Feel like an update...
Ok, so its been a long ass time since I've updated properly... so be prepared for a very long post. I'm gonna start from the beginning...
This is going back a few weeks now, to before Down. Everything went tits up with me and James, first of all he decided he needed some 'space' so I let him have some, and he came back with an idea of having an 'open relationship'. I was my usual push over self and let him get away with that. But a week later he decided that it just wasn't working, basically we have the same friends so if he was gonna get with someone else on a night out chances were I was going to be there, and he "didn't want to upset me" (bit late for that huh?). So he finised with me. This was Tuesday night... I proceeded to get stonkingly drunk for the next 5 days. And get off with this other Irish guy Ciaran, who'd been after me for months, even when he knew I was with James. Me and James fell out over some shit that his mate Nkosi told him about me (apparently I threw myself at him. I think not!). But yeah, I was over James and me and Ciaran were getting along really well. So I toddeled off to London to see Down. (will write about that in a moment) When I returned from London James had be-friended Ciaran, so he felt bad about even talking to me! So no more fit Irish guys for me. Blah. It got to me at the time 'cause I didn't know that James was so manipulative as to make friends with someone just to get at me... but meh. I'm over it now. I got bigger geese to fry ;)
So Down... were amazing, really. Me and Michelle saw them twice in two days. Got to hang out with Dani, and Michelle obviously. Both of whom I Love muchos. We also got to meet Pepper Keenan (from corrosion of conformity), Jimmy (drummer for Down) and Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo (from Pantera duuh). Which was, to quote Michelle "Mcwick", as I've always wanted to meet Phillip. As I'm sure you all know. Got back to Crewe on the wednesday and had to wait just one week untill I was back in London, with Dani and Michelle again...
The occasion was Soil and Clutch. Meet miss Dani firstly as Michelle was working. Went for a little drinky in the worlds end pub in camden (and we sat next to Travis! The band not the guy from blink). Met up with Daniels fit cousing Shaun (yummy), and the always gorgeous Lauz (double yummy ;) heehee) and other board type people. Managed to miss most of Soils set, but got right down to the front, and got recognised by the whole band ( I love it when rock stars say hello to me). Then proceeded to hang out with Chris (Adams bro) and some of the dudes from Soil while clutch were on. But no sign of Tim. This was because he's got himself a new 'piece of ass' in england! Oh well... his loss! So yeah, was hanging out with Tom (soil drummer) and Marcuss <3 soils guitar tech. Got roaringly drunk on crown royal and jager. Don't really remember a whole lot of the night, but it must have been good. Got kicked out of the Hilton Hotel with Tom. Much laughs had by all. Though not so much the next day as I was a rather poorly lady and had to get the train back to Crewe... To be followed later by Michelle in preperation for DOWNLOAD!!
Ok... so Download. What a weekend! Saw a lot of great bands. Met Rita, who is Dimebag's widow... and also possibly the coolest lady in the whole world (she brought me a drink!) me and Michelle were chatting to her for a good couple of hours, much to the dismay of Corey from Trivium. But oh well... he's in a shite band. Much craic was had on friday night with the soil boys, two of their roadies (Chris the drum tech, and my boy Marcuss)oh and Adams brother Chris, or Steve-o. Don't ask. Michelle morphed into the Jager-ranger, and much alcohol was consumed. Jager for breakfast, No thanks! Then me, Marcuss and Michelle returned to our hotel room in order to eat and shower up. Michelle was hardcore and went back to Donny after only one hours sleep, but me and Marcuss stayed behind and had a lovely nap. Unfortunatly missing Alice in Chains and Avenged Sevenfold. But it was well worth it. Caught Korn and heard Metallica from the VIP area. Met back up with Marcuss (who'd eaten some 'dam space cake and fallen asleep on the tour bus... lightweight!) and the lads, though they had to leave that night to go to the scottish download. This made me a sad Vikki as I didn't want Marcuss to leave. BUT Michelle was very brave, well done girl! Said goodbye to soil, and Marcuss untill they return in the fall. Felt a bit sad, well felt a lot sad actually. Marcuss is one of the funniest fuckers I've ever met, and he's cute. And I'm really missing him right now. But on with sunday... watched a few bands today, crazyfists, in flames and bullet. But the highlight of the weekend was Guns n Roses... who came on stage 10 minutes early and played for over two and a half hours. Mostly playing classics, but some new shit was in there too. They were on top form after some early technical difficulties (they were happening all day), and I'd definatly advise people to go and see them if its possible.
So I'm home now, well Crewe... and this week just feels like a proper come down from the highs of the weekend. Everything just feels really boring and mundane. BUT I'm going home tomorrow so I'll have my gorgeous friends to take my mind of the lack of Geese in my life... hahaha. Looks like next week should be pretty cool too... drinks on Monday with my chi crewe (see what i did there?! hahaha) Can't wait to catch up with you guys, its been waaay to fucking long.
Oh yeah, and Michelle... What IS that?! Love you girly. You gotta come down for my birthday celebrations. :) and thankyou for the most awesome couple of weeks, as it would have been nowt without my bestest gig buddy! I'm sure I said that already. But yeah, we need to get fucked up together again, and soon! And if anyone bothered to read that all the way through... congratulations to you! :D
