melted ice cream and pink wellies

siren festival - hot, sweaty, not as crowded as i'd imagined
highlights:

spending half of the saul williams set (the main person i'd gone to see) with earphones clamped over my ears being made to listen to the rakes by a guy with a pink belt on.

bumping into a bunch of people when i thought i wouldn't find anyone there. although not so good when this also includes the MB kids and that complete prick ben j-.

mint choc chip ice cream that instantly started melting down my arm, dribbling off my elbow.

riding the cyclone. CC dragged me on. terrfying and bone-jolting as ever. but still a thrill.

misshapes - hot, sweaty, just as crowded & gross as i'd imagined
highlights:

well, there was a lot of drink. including one drink that i bought and promptly dropped on the floor. well done me.

pink wellies
lauren's pink wellies.

hanging out with complete randoms.

making a pact with g- and cc that next saturday, if we came to misshapes, would be "dress night" and we'd all wear pretty dresses.

playing camera snap with scott the hot photographer.
camera duel

running into the village tavern to use their restrooms 'cause the queue at misshapes was so long.

talking to an american boy about british comedy and hearing him do 'little britain' impressions. sheer fucken genius.

checking myspace yesterday evening and discovering a bunch of new adds. myspace and misshapes are clearly heavily intertwined.

the walk up to the 14th St PATH that, ah, took a lot longer than it probably should due to certain interesting distractions...

getting back home and discovering my roommate was still up despite it being practically daylight outside after having had an impromptu '80s disco in our room with her friend c-. awesome.
