A photo diary, written almost a year after the event. The photos where taken by pretty much everbody, once again, using Daves digital camera.
Alec, Dave, Eva, John, Martin, Nat, Ros, Sarah, Sean, and me.
Some other people who I don't know as well also went, including, but not limited to, a friend of Sarah's who's name a I should know, and Alec's lesbian friends, who had recently 'come out'.
I think the bands where pretty good this year.
I saw the Beastie Boys (rocked!), Prodigy (rocked - but Keith dised the
Beasty Boys, which sucked), the Foo Fighters (rocked), Lee Scratch Perry
(with a wierd hat made of CDs) Rancid (sucked - we did our bungee jump
when they came on) Asian Dub Foundation (rocked), Money Mark (didn't turn up),
Jurassic 5 (rocked), Garbage (rocked), & New Order (dull). Additionally,
there where loads of bands I should have seen but didn't, and bands I did see,
but can't remember. Oh well, its not what you do by who you do it with...
John and I did a bungee, jump. Which scared the shit out of Eva. I don't know if you've ever done a bungee jump, but the basic premis is that you tie an elastic rope around your feet and jump from a great height. Bouncing before you hit the ground. Its quite scary, when we where
signing up we got chatting to the people ahead of us in the queue. They say that they had dropped acid before getting the the queue, and where tripping as they went to do the jump. Which is utter madness, and not recomended.
Once we had signed up we waited a while for the others to finish, and got strapped into the harness.
John went up first, and jumped shouting 'Beefcake!' on the way down.
Then it was my turn, I jumped and got whipped in the nuts on the first bounce. After that I 'protected' myself. It looked like I was 'feeling' myself. Anywho, in spite of that, it was wicked, and I had a fat grin on for ages. Adrenalin man.
Heres a little tip:
If you have to many spliffs or bongs, you end up going to sleep. Unless of course, your hardcore!
Don't do this at home kids - its probably illegal!
And then you come down and have to pack up and go home.
