Middlesbrough Fest on sunday
Middlesbrough Music live, sunday 19th. Awesome lineup, all-dayer, free, local...
What more could I ask for?

My F*ckin mates to hurry up so we'd catch the train. I got there in time (by about 10 mins). They didn't. No matter, we got the bus in the end. It took ages to get us there, but no matter.

Okay, so i'm listening to some fantastic bands (Louie are brilliant). I'm having a load of fun, and everythings going well. What more could I ask for?

People to please not fracture my toe in a pit for Fastlane. Mind you , I didn't notice it was actually fractured until later.

Later that day, I was mentally chanting that timeless old festival mantra - I need an aspirin!!! . This came from getting kicked in the head by a careless crowdsurfer. Gah! That headache stuck with me all damn day.

Well, to round off my day, I got a fag burn on my arm. The worst of it was that I got one last year at this very fest, during 80's matchbox's set.

And then, coz of the headache i went home early. Missing my favourite locals the Hitchers. Dammit!

However, it did have it's uppoints...
Robochrist pretended to be a faith healer during a song, brought his own crowdsurfers who jumped onto us, and then left the stage with the sound part of the werthers originals advert playing, tactfully edited in places -"I never forgot the day when Granddad gave me his buttock"...

Class!
