Re: festival weekend

Jesus that was some weekend. I think everyone overdid it though. Lived like a scumbag for 3days but it was all good.

Highlights for me included the glimmers, DJ YODA, Chem Bros, Magic Numbers, The Egg, beastie boys, primal scream, Derek may, and dancing in the middle of a forest till sunrise.

Hearing UNKLE for the first time and also hearing 'in a state' live.

The only shit thing of the weekend was some guy collapsed and died at the chemical brothers. The chems stopped playing for about 10 mins while ambulance and cops rushed into the crowd but it was to late.. the show must go on though.

Well i didnt see it myself but there are some accounts coming in from people on the EP forum

It is sad and by the next day word had got around about it. I wonder does this kinda thing happan every time a big festivel is on? statistically i can understand how it would happan as it seemed everyone was very drunk or doing drugs. heres one of the accounts anyway.

just back from picnic.

was standing watching chem bros lastnight,and as they played believe,and during the break a bloke in front of us just dropped.

thought he was just another pissed bloke,like the rest of the people around us.but he wouldnt wake up and started to turn a grey colour.

they tried to revive him for 20 mins,doing cpr and the usual stuff. but after 20 mins of doing cpr,they took him off on a little quad bike/buggy thing.

he didnt look too good at all,after 20 mins of trying to get him to breathe and wake up,with no luck.

after seeing that,it put the shits up us and we decided enough was enough and went home.

hope he was ok in the end,didnt hear what happened with him.
