There aint nothing like a festival crowd..
There’s too many people so we play too loud.

That was the cutest fucking festive I think I have ever been to in my life. I have got more laminates over the last month that I think in my whole life thus far. Only a few thousand people but it was bliss.
We rolled at at some stupid hour of the morning with our driver Nick who is about 6’7 of Ali gs lost twin brother top guy. Queen snot got the back seat and passed out. I don’t know why they let me do that but I wont complain
For all of its ass cramping glory its where I am the happiest. Got my feet out the window and my Discman on 10.Miss Raquel game me the best headphones before I left so I am in her debt. I just drift in and out of the best daydreams. Mostly involving Persian carpets, extensive free dental work and the ocaean.oh and fruit.
I have a screaming backache due to van travel and a craps day’s sleep. Got up way too early and mooched around st Pauli muttering to myself. I didn’t buy one-piece of candy at any truck stop yesterday either so I feel like I have at least jumped one hurdle.
A Bavarian guy brought a cd off me and asked me why I spit so much. A good question to which I had no answer. Trying to read metal hammer in German does my head in.
My guess is that the boys are down at the kogge online and in Ashley’s case hungover. Remind me to kiss the ceo of Sony if I ever meet him cause my Discman saves my life. If I cant hear ash crapping on I don’t get into a fight with him and the there s no blood spilt. Sweet.
Was reading the “Up from the ground” festival history and Hobbs angel of death played on it a few years ago which is so cool. Nixon tells me that this next MFTB is the last one ever??? Huh???That’s the one that I tell all the people that I meet out here about and heaps have heard of it to but from what I can aasitain it’s a year round job organizing one of these things. I went onto the site but it didn’t say much.
Then I decided to go and fuck around on blooddusters site. I need that new album soooo bad. It’s been too long. That and Pod people and I will be a happy camper.
This is all over the place huh?
Ok, so another festival where no one knows who we are and its raining and we are the 1st band in.i love it.
By the end of the day I am hiding in the catering tent and ash is drinking mead out of a bulls horn inappropriately touching Bavarians and telling every one that he loves them between trying to pick on me.
The last time I saw mike he was hanging out with the German Andrew Stockdale. A mighty Afro. I dread the think where Ross is. There is some fierce pixie meat on parade and Ross has a tent fetish due to his hey day as one of Baden Powell’s foot soldiers.
We won some new tribe and that is the reason to get and stay on the road. It works for me.
