Part 9 - Reading Festival Shenanigans!
-
August Reading Fest! - Thursday Day One: After being yay about our GCSE results which lucinda did particularly well on... 9 A*S AND 1 A... we were off to Reading! We arrived and found that, very very unlike last year, the Reading site was a rather large mud bath. After finding a reasonably dry pitch in the very aptly named Brown 9 area, we pitched our tent. Pretty well, I might add.
Anyhoo, we decided we should explore our neighbourhood and others. So we wandered around with our large rainbow brolly, despite the obvious lack of rain, and made some friends =) On our travels we were invited to a sing-song, as well as meeting the Creme-Egg boys and a CRAIGY-BABY lookalike! (we swear it was him!!). Then we decided to look for Nina and co, and while we were walking yonder to find them, we bumped into Dan and Anstey who pointed us in the right direction... which was very far away. We said hey, then went to get our PINK wristbandies, teehee!
Afterwards, we continued to wander around the campsite and the weirdos came out to play. We also befriended/were befriended by our neighbours and had our first Reading campfire gathering. We then wandered some more and encountered........ *MUD RIVER!!!* Did we mention that Angela had only brought a pair of converses and flip flops?! So naturally, she wore some of Lu's old trains and they became rather saturated with mud slosh. We later met up with Raj, Walshie, Alex and Lee and stupidly mentioned MUD RIVER to rajpal, thus enforcing major willpower into raj to find said MUD RIVER. Lucinda in her ice boots, and Angela in slabs of mud coated trainerage, trundled back to their tent and made pot noodle and set fire to the grass in the process.
- Friday - Day 2:
We decided the sensible thing would be to go and buy wellies preferably before I got trenchfoot. There was nothing but size 8 boring plain wellies for �15. Crapbag. We went into town to continue our search and despite our bright yellow woody woodpecker and mickey mouse ponchos, lu and i lost each other for a brief moment. Operation Welly Hunt Friday - failed.
We went into the arena and had some tequila slushies then caught some bands - The Distillers who were very very good, The Hives who were erm... hivey goodness, The Offspring who were a lot better than the hives, The Darkness who had a nice firework show, and Kasabian who were pretty darn spiffin.
We went back to our tent in order to grab some alcohol... gave ourselves a long pep talk which lasted over 5 minutes just so that we could drink 3 shots of this cheapo paint thinner/fuel/vodka stuff. It was gammy. then we had some pina colada and then Angela decided to have a couple more shots of the paint thinner just out of the stupidness of her brain... and erm, lu, being the loyal friend, held her up while she staggered through the campsite. We tried to find Neeni Whit's tent and failed. Plus them being soooo hardcore... were asleep anyway.
TO BE CONTINUED, IM GOING TO WATCH THE OC.
