Big. Day. Out!

for the second time i have been privileged enough to get to do volunteer work at the BDO, which means free entry. a more then fair trade if you ask me!

Yesterday was the day. woke up early than i wanted to but later than i should have, after being awake for about an hour in the middle of the night... on the "track work" bus, into Olympic Park, breakfast with some friends and then in to do my 4hr shift. Wristbanding over 18's. Not strenuous, but busy and monotonous. this year we shared the wristbanding space with "the wormhole" a dance space that was basically dark and had strobes and laser lights. great music. the other bonus about wristbanding is that you get to sit in the cool for the hottest hours of the day!

out of there and off to see Esky mojo (eskimo joe...). I always forget how much i love live music till i am there in it and can feel the beat reverberating in my chest. it's better than any drug. anyway. the blue stage and orange stage are right next to each other and bands alternate one side to the other so there is no lag time for set up between acts. I stayed in front of the stage Hilltop Hoods were about to be on, so i couldn't see esky mojo, but i did hear them sing "i don't understand the point of fingers".
Hilltop hoods were awesome, but the mosh pit was hectic. i am very thankful i made it out with all my limbs attached. i have a few random bruises and scratches, but no major injury. there were people being taken out over the top because they just couldn't handle it. within about 2 mins of them starting i was soaking wet, filthy dirty, and covered in other peoples sweat... LOVED IT!

Next was Dizzee Rascal, so i went to the loo and to get some water, then came back for Lily Allen. i was thinking about getting to the front but after the hoods i wasn't so sure. looking at the lily crowd on the big screen though, it was very calm... oh well. she was amazing. she has a huge power for someone so small!

I finally found my friends, which i had been trying to do for 4hrs, and we wandered around for the rest of the day fairly aimlessly. we handed around my worker wrist band so they could use the Staff loo's as the lines to use the others were horrendous!

for the rest of the day i saw a little bit of calvin harris, a little lady hawke, went on an awesome ride, bought 1/4 of a watermellon for a dollar, bought glow sticks and danced like a raver to muse, heard a little bit of grinspoon, went to the worm hole but it was closed down (news this morning says man in critical condition after drug overdose - that was probs why the worm hole was closed), went dancing in the jager cube - had my first jager bomb - an experience i plan on repeating!, then went to groove armada. they were awesome!

got back to my house at 1am, realised i had picked up the wrong spare key in the morning... drove to my mothers only to find that the screen door was locked so i couldn't break in to get my other spare key, so i slept in my car outside her house until she came out at 7:30 this morning and gave me my key!!! came home, finally showered!!!!! and now i want to sleep some more. my plans today are maybe hang out with some friends. if i nap now, that will work out really well... so i'm gonna take my dizzy little exhausted head for some time in lala land...

that is all.
