Muhahahahaha. So many people. you are all so many people. and to think theres so many more.
I need some direction in this blog:
Whats going on?
> Well Since leaving you all stranded on the Isle of Wight with david Icke, Tomato's Basil Sadhana and Granny. I completed working festival rounds at Beautiful Days, which was only somewhat beautiful. The bands were all peeps i didnt know, and only a few were good. though i did see the proclaimers and they proclaimed some sweet songs. and also the levellers, which host this festival and were amazing live. I met a connection which led me to another festival. this was bigger and better. this was one of the biggest. it aint Glastonbury, nor Leeds, but Reading. I belive it was 80k people. thats many. i worked a 21:00 - 9:00 shift for 5 days. manning a firetower which overlooks all the campgrounds has ample view of all the crazy shiza going on. this is england and a festival so people were exceptionally drunk and fucked out of their little pink socks. it was a great experience. Many big bands, i still didnt know most of the headliners but that was no biggy. I missed Pearl Jam, I was working, but the other goodies i saw were flogging molly, millencolin, less than jake and reel big fish--who omg are the most amazing band live. there just so damn cool. for the rest i was in the comedy tent or sleeping...yea sleeping. i had about 4-5 hours up and about each day which some was spent sleeping again. night shifts are so cool. i saw 5 sunrises aaaw so beautiful. even got paid some juicy poundage. on top of the wristband (ticket) which costs a cool 150pounds which has helped me greatly in my fun of england.
I got two of my friends i met in india to come down and work as well. so we all got to enjoy the good times. then i traveled to good ol'd st. Albans home of 4 friends of mine. all from india. so a load of goodies it is. while i spent the few days there recovering my sleeping schedule enjoying a night in the town (bars and clubs) i made haste to exunt, alex's parents are having their 100th birthday (50 + 50) this last weekend and needed the bedroom for their parents.....
On the train again...3 hours later im at the beach in brighton. the brighton coastline is filled with various sizes of pebbles and stones. all well rounded from years of ocean science. brighton has many feautures which i have yet to discover. but its one of englands alternative cities. yes it is. hippies, gays, tree huggers, art, and bedazzled with shopping shoppping shopping.. a little of everything.
sounds like so much juice. so sorry if i didnt squeeze enough. or it was a little on the bland side. i think im going to sweden next. wow wow wow.
until next time, good bye folks
cool kitty.
