Anyhow, now having removed dust and dirt from various places where it secreted itself on my body, i can provide some more details, in totally random order.

• Crowd size was perfect, busy, but never cramped, lots of camping room for all, 6000ish they said?
• Weather was fine, didn't really rain, and was only hot one day.
• No major hiccups with the timeng/setup, no real mention of long queues to get in, people feeling sorry for themselves leaving before 1 could create some issues, i'm not there to check.
• !!! are awesome
• so are comets on fire
• and the bellrays
• most the bands actually, i had no complaints with what I saw.
• yo la tengo wins "most polarizing band" award, for well, being polarizing and making half the crowd hate/get bored with them.
• sabastian and kavinsky make me dance.
• sunwrae ensemble should play in my loungeroom every morning to wake up to.
• muscles supposedly was a good opener, and lesnak finished the musical part of the festival off with a great set that finished hmm, bout 3 hours ago?
• they need more then one coffee machine for a crowd that size, 2 hour waits on saturday morning for some people.
• or maybe caffeine is the silent addiction, and should be addressed by all levels of government.
• fuck, it was windy wasn't it?

why are you back so early? isn't it still going?

caffeine is the silent addiction

you seen the film 'crash' anon??.. how funny is their 'how you think a brother feels in this hood all alone surrounded by overcaffeinated white people'

What did everyone think of the Slits? It was almost embassarring to watch.

why are you back so early? isn't it still going?

perhaps anon has perfected time-travel...

There were two ambulances & a police car near a tent.... apparently someone died...

yeah how come you are back so early?
i am not expecting applecrunch for HOURS yet.
her kitties are missing her.

near OUR tent...

talia..... that's freaking awful.

shit talia - that' HORRIBLE!!

hugs

I left at 9 this morning & it was an easy drive back.

It is awful, I didn't hear anything on the news about it... or on theage.com.au...

Not sure what happened. Very sad.

shit, sorry to hear that, t-bag.

there was something on the new's before. it said people got arrested for drug trafficing ect.

also there was a death, due to drug's.

awww gawd.

Can someone more motivated me organise the official post-golden plains recovery pub please.

Thanks. Seymour

It wasn't NipplesAhoy was it? She called me from the festival and considering the way she was talking at 7pm I'd say she could've had a healthy dose of alcohol poisoning! :)

Shit, just read about the death.. pretty fucked.

gawd - can all the awake golden plainers call around their buddies and chats to check everyone's ok?

I can confirm that NipplesAhoy was still somewhat alive ~2am.

is this a first, someone dying!?

I was definitely not in any sort of state to be talking to anyone either.

also, was i the only one who noticed that the DJ played the same snoop dogg song three times in the space of 20 minutes before the reggae people?

--

before fat freddy's drop? i didn't play any snoop dogg!!

Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay
Bow wow wow yippee yoyoyoyoyoyo...

hah, this was before jamacia irie. i'm not sure what song it was, something bout "let's get the party started" or the like.. okay okay we get the idea, let's get the party started

i think maybe i was the only one in the whole damn place who noticed cause i was sitting on the hillside by myself staring at the leaves sparkling in the sunlight

What are you, a hippy?

i am at one with the earth, yes

He's GAY!

in truth i just had really bad diarrhea so i decided i needed to get away from everyone and hang out near the compost toilets til it went away

but it was also very spiritual hahah

diarunt

the snoop was playing off an ipod. the sound engineer did a "puuull up" coz he liked the r kelly hook so much. thaaaats that.
