Isle of Wight Festival 21 June 2009

We were on the 4am ferry to the Isle of Wight. We all had to get off the bus, some of us had been asleep others had just been drinking hard.

The best thing about getting on a ferry is going back to the 1980's. Fried food at 4:30 in the morning is pretty good too.

Greyham went for Strongbow and toast.

I went for the real deal.

It only takes like 30 minutes or so to get to the Isle of Wight by ferry.

The next morning was a shock to some people.

Mike was one of the first boys to get up, he went and sat in the hotel and tried to look cool.

I had brought my shop mobility scooter with but the battery seemed to be flat and wouldn't charge up. It has been in my parents garage for a year though. Gutted.

We went to see Fern Cotton, she makes some questionable fashion moves, unlike me.

We hung out in this weird camper van too.

Maggot and I went into the main arena and met these boys dressed as the GLC. They were walking about saying they were us, they convinced alot of people too.

Then we had to do the show, we waited at the side of the stage for ages.

We got everyone to put their hand in the air and i took a picture. Joel Bramwell was there, it was his birthday and he was cautioned twice for weed.

After the gig maggot hung out with Fox Man.

I met some of the nice people in the crowd.

And eggsy met some boys.

After the disapointment of my mobility scooter not working i decided to steal a golf buggy.

Then this guy called Rufus challenged us to a golf cart race, or at least that's what we turned it into.

We were meant to be on the 8pm ferry back to the main land so there was just enough time to ram some food in before we had to get back on the bus.

It took us an hour to find the port even though it is only 5 minutes from the festival site. By then everyone was well pissed up, Mysti was sick as he got off the bus and the ferry was still in the port. The boat people were not impressed.

We set sail and Adam was flying.

I met some people who had been at the festival and had had so much fun that they had turned red.

Then some festival goers shared a spliff with Greyham and 2hats and we sailed off into the sunset.

The Isle of Wight Festival is may favourite of all the festivals, if you haven't been go, its so good.
I even got free sun glasses.

Reading Uni Ball 20th June 2009

We got in our big red bus and went to Reading. it was a beautiful day, Billy was dressed for it. We had a football and that was all we cared about.
Until 2hats kicked it so high it got stuck in a tree so we went into the room we were given and hung out for a few hours. Mike and Adam played games with the food.

They had this massive big top for the gig.

And Hog Roast stalls, Adam loves a Hog Roast.

Even Maggot got in on the act, Greyham went for the Hot Dog.

We hung out a bit more, it went dark, and then it was time to get on the stage.

We had a good crowd in, it was raining a bit.

After the gig we bumped into some of the students on the way back to the room.

Greyham had a good night.

Then we got back on the bus to travel to the Isle of Wight for the Festival.
We were booked on the ferry at 4 in the morning.

Keighley Krawl 7th June 2009

We woke up in Keighley today, some in better shape than others.

There were about 200 bands on.

On the way there the driver had accidentally nearly smashed the back of the bus off.

The conveniences were top draw.

We had been provided with a room for the day.

It was the kind of room you would commit a murder in and then after spending several years in prison end up living in when you got released. We were right at home.

Some of the boys went to Morrisons for lunch.

And then some of us went to the local to sample the beer.

Some college students turned up and said they were from NME.com and they filmed us talking about how nice Keighley was.

Then it was time to do the gig. We were head lining and we went on at 7:30.

Norman Hargreaves' car park was packed.

After we met some of the people who stood in the car park.

I think they had had fun.

Adam made friends.

So did Billy.

Adam made more friends.

Even Maggot got in on the fun.

Before we left there was just enough time for me and Billy to go for a curry.

Adam went for the microwave corned beef hash and beans option.

Keighley was safe and they do some great curry up there too.

Kent Uni Ball 6th June 2009

We got up well early to go to Kent.
We stopped at the services and tried to win a prize on the machine as usual.
We didn't win.

Mysti had a burger dog from Wimpy.

Proper rough house.

we got to the gig and parked up in the car park.
for some reason the bus stared to sink into the concrete.
They put down some wood too try to stop it.

We were given a shit load of candy floss too. I hadn't had candy floss for years.

Eggsy and I made a beard and eye brows for Mike balls out of it.

We met some of the people who would soon be more drunk that they ever have before.

And Adam found some time to him self to read.

The bus sank further.

And then it was time to rock the party.

It was a massive place.

After there were fire works.

We met some of the people as we watched Dizzee Rascal who fell of stage but he was ok.
That Bonkers song is starting to drive me nuts now.

By the end of the night Greyham was smashed. Mission accomplished.

Safe kent!!
