Anyway so came Sunday.
Future.
I wasn’t expecting much but boy was I surprised! After consuming alcoholic beverages and catching the train, we arrived at about 12.30 to find a ridiculously long line, which we were bad and skipped….anyway got in and headed straight for the drink card line, where we purchased about $60 worth of drink cards, got some beverages and then headed to the first aid tent for some sunscreen – must be sun smart people! We then saw the last half an hour of TV rock, they were awesome, and did some great mixes, especially of the prodigy – smack my bitch up into firestarter and then back into smack my bitch up. I was actually quite impressed and they definitely had the crowd going, but I had the “dukes of Windsor” stuck in my head all day!! Went around to see Tom Novy and chilled on the grass for a while, he was a little commercial for my liking, but not too bad. Started to see the usual buff guys with their shirts off, but it makes for funny viewing I thought. Then after that we met up with iamtha1 (nay) and her mates where we dranks some more and cheered on the 20 guys that all jumped the fence at the same time. We almost got crushed by one of them, but it made for good drunken entertainment! Saw some of Fedde le grand, fairly unimpressive, so I decided to tune out and chill and drink on the grass instead. Went to Mischief to catch infusion who were pretty good, very very rockin’ and I really enjoyed their set! After that we saw the man – CARL Cox, who was amazing, but I had to catch at least ½ an hour of Princess Superstar, which thank god I did, I totally loved her set, and she played Perfect so I was happy.
I danced with Eze and he and I had a blast together watching her. I rushed back to see the alst ½ hour of carl cox who I loved, and then lined up to get in the bowl for Corsten. Actually moved quite quickly in the line, and got in about 7pm, to find that there were no drinks cards left for sale in the bowl, so after arguing with the beer wench she finally realised I wanted to SPEND MONEY and I couldn’t buy anything if she had no drink cards left so she just took cash – idiot!
I also had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting the mens bathroom in the bowl…absolutely fucking disgusting!!! Ewwwww!!!!
Corsten was fairly trancey and quite standard so we headed back to Mischeif to see Josh Wink as I felt quite unsafe up on the moving platform of the bowl, as it was moving and shaking and I was sure it was gonna collapse.
After the end I saw Carl Cox was at Josh Wink, so I snuck around the back and talked my way through security who let me go up and meet him! I was so excited. He was such an awesome laid back dude, and I just kept hugging him and telling him how much I loved him and loved his set. He was probably assuming I was a skanky loved up PLUR-head but I didn’t care, he was awesome and so nice to talk to! It really really made my day! I was on the biggest natural high after that it was awesome!!
Anyway Future I thought personally rocked out. Toilet ques weren’t too bad. They weren’t great but to be expected at a big festival, drink prices were shit, but I got drunk enough and still came home with cash (yay for free smuggled in booze!), there were quite a few wankers but all the people I met and hung out with were fabulous! And I got to meet the man CARL COX.
I think future did a good job on this event. And I hate future. BUT having said that they did oversell it and they did let too many people into the bowl at once, but I was really glad to see there were no ODs yesterday!
Couldn’t have had a better day. Great music, great friends and I was always smiling
