volcanic's diary
My first celebration was Reading in 1986. Keep in mind, this was at least three years before Grunge happened and changed the face associated with Rock for ever. Back in 1986, Stone
Polo Ralph Lauren Uk either meant stinky bicycle leathers, facial hair and guitars that went chugga chugga chugga or stone cleaned jeans, Bon Jovi poodle mullets and retaining lighters aloft during power ballads have a tendency to had a drum break that travelled DUNH DUNH duh DUNH DUNH duh DUH. (Yes, just like the one that heralds the end of EastEnders)And back in 1986, Studying Rocked, according to the official commercial. I went with my friend Erica, and met up with another pal, Dave. Three of us crammed into a two man camping tent although, admittedly, Erica went off using a strange bloke on the 2nd night (and returned along with his coat and wallet with Sunday morning). The thoughts of the rest of it tend to be hazy. I was secretly crazy about Dave (and you can look back to my very first blog posts to read more about that), so a
Louis Vuitton Uk bed that stands out is me in addition to him, huddled shoulder to get in the rain, watching Saxon play "Wheels of Steel". I know Hawkwind played, and had performers doing Dungeons and Dragons stuff with big axes. I also don't forget my mum kindly delivered me with a stack connected with plastic cups, into which she'd tucked a note, bullying me not to take virtually any drugs.It must have been superior, though, because we returned again the next year. the actual Rock landscape had mutated a bit by then Zodiac Mindwarp had inspired many of the Goth bands to dump the paisley and lace in favour of motorbike boots and AC/DC riffs, which time I was sharing your tent with my friend Sebastianne, that enjoyed dubious infamy due to the connect which took the place of his missing hand. This individual seemed to think that he was at danger of being pounced on during the night, so he took methods to avoid this by laying his or her detached prosthesis down the middle of the tent, because he knew it flipped me out.Needless to say, I never attempted to seduce him. The particular hook though, turned out to be handiest. We found ourselves camped correct next to a gang of riders, whose Mammas had driven lower in a transit van packed to the ginnels with beer. We have chatting with them, and they have been entranced by the sight associated with Sebastianne skinning up joints with his single hand.Now, despite the fact that Sebastianne is still to this day one of the campest gangly indie guys I've ever met, he was able to convince them that he had been a former biker who'd missing his arm in a terrible accident where his Success Bonneville and his hand were totalled. This specific led to instant bonding together with the bikers, who kept you supplied with goodies all saturday and sunday as a result, and made us honorary people their gang.Good times, even though they were fuelled by major whopping fibs.I didn't go to Reading again until 1989, as well as everything had changed at that time. There was a body piercing caravan (which was really shocking in those days) and lots of grungey boys and a discernible yobbo part (as my mum could describe them!). And I dropped out with Dave, who was our festival companion once more. Everything was wet and cool and miserable and I ended up being glad to get home. Some go to another festival until WOMAD in 1996.WOMAD, despite being held on exactly the same web page as Reading, was a great deal more my cup of tea. Lots of families, kites, techno and well meaning natural types who seemed to invest the whole weekend gloating about it
Cheap Nike Shoes remaining like "Glastonbury USED to be."And there were baby showers, too, which meant I failed to feel itchy and ashamed all weekend. And of course, I might got Fatboy by then, so he came too. He had a wonderful time, even if it was a little bit blighted by a severe attack connected with diarrhoea. The guy I'd gone with had got people access all areas passes, and we all spent a fair amount of time going out in the backstage bar. A rumour was going round of which Peter Gabriel was going to
Cheap Nike ** turn up any time, and sure enough, as the room went quiet and everyone turned round to see the great daffodil going one enter, Fatboy came running up to me shouting "Mummy, I's just pooed myself!"Oops. Still, my temporary discomfort was soon alleviated. Status washing Fatboy's pants in the behind the scenes loos, I got chatting into a nice lady who was accomplishing the same. (That's the thing about like a mum, I suppose, you connection with other mums over the washbasins). In any case, she tossed back the girl's hair, revealing her laminate, and to my astonishment I ran across that I'd been sharing poop moments with Martha Ladly, of Cakes and "Echo Beach" fame.
