Download 2010

That was an interesting experience. RIP camping was awesome... showers, real toilets, our own private mini shop, free mobile charging, peace and quiet and room to maneuvre round the campsite. Shame the weather didn't hold up really. Wednesday was ok, a bit damp and rainy in the evening, thursday also a bit damp and overcast. Friday... I didn't see much of because I've picked up a cold and spen most of the day in bed, tho did get to the arena for a short while to see ACDC (or some of them anyway)... I believe it was quite sunny tho. Saturday was nice and sunny till about 8 when it got bit cold, but got to see a few bands... Rage Against The Machine were ace.
Sunday... well it was glorous upuntil about 4pm when it decided to piss down. Slash (and Friends - the guy from Alterbridge on vocals, and Lemy made an appearence too) were awesome... Sweet Child of Mine... holy crap, never heard it done so well. Billy Idol also rather impressive. Got cold and wet then tho so wen back to camp for a shower intendng to go back after warming up a bit. Got so warm and snuggly I fell asleep and didn't wake up til about 12am... had managed to sleep right through Aerosmith. Not impressed.

The weather had improved by the time we had to take our tents down this morning tho it was kinda windy... wish I'd had the foresight to get my video camera out and film four people struggling with and inflating wind-blown tent... it was quite hilarious.

Am all nice and clean now, had a shower and put washing in the machine.

I think all in all it was a good few days. I reckon it could have been better. but I think that's due to me and my stupid brain more than anything else... spent too much tme hiding in the tent and not enough time socialising. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Is just taking too much time.

And I'm worried that, if I can't deal with Download, when I've been there four times with no issues, how am I oing to deal with Sonisphere?
