When you get slightly wrecked (or in my case OVERLY) one over enthusiastic dance move can easily remove them off your head without you even noticing they're gone! So many times I stuck my sunnies on top of my head and forgot about them at night. Then all of a sudden I freak and think fuck where are they, check my head and they're gone ... SHIT!! I think ah well I'm total dickhead for doing that then reaslise I'm even more of a dick because I'd find them in my pocket later WTF??!! LOL

lol yeah, it was mega panic. It sobered me up right and good that's for sure

I was probably at the pinnacle of my drunkenness when that happened. I remember it was maybe an hour before sunset and we went down to the drink tent for some booze, then I have until whoever it was that played at 9:30 instead of Ben came on. And that's when I knocked them off my head.

Talk about getting real sober real quick. Of course once I found them the drunkenness kicked in again and all was well. I don't really remember going back to our camp site to put them away, but I know I did that at some stage. Probably had some more to drink whilst I was there too, which would explain a lot

Ahh good times... At least there's J00F on tomorrow night here in Sydney to help ease the pain.

i was going to write a review for itm but can't really be bothered now so ill just add my thoughts here. i could have used sunglasses, or any glasses, i had the worst hayfever for years, could not believe how bad it was. everything was fine friday night, then saturday BANG it hits me. the telfast packet says take one a day, i had 5 in 30 hours. didn't really feel better till sunday night back in melbourne, although i still felt it on monday. i thought the venue was better this year, at least i did on friday since i saw all the green! no dust! yay! the fact that it was in a volcanic crater had nothing to do with me liking it either.

dave the drummer was pretty good, he took us to funkytown. the sound system was great, we were camped on the other side of the lake away from the stages but you could hear the main stage really well from our spot. i thought j00f was great of course hehe. really enjoyed the live set he did, can't wait for those tunes to come out. saturday only saw bits and pieces during the day because i felt like shit. monsoon moon was pretty cool, as was some guy with a 'fucking techno' shirt on. there was a lot of techno, most i heard was pretty good, no minimal crap. although i didn't enjoy extravelt much, i couldn't get into it. too clicky and glitchy for my liking. a few breaks djs as well, i especially liked the sounds on the friday night before dave the drummer. hydra stage was packed whole weekend pretty much.

walked down sat night just in time for ben only to find out they were 90 mins behind which sucked. the guy dj'ing at that time wasn't too bad, then ben playeda shorter set and then that guy played again as a live set with someone else. ben wasn't too bad either but i was hoping for slightly less full on, especially after his thread in music discussion about more melodic style psy trance. quite a lot of full on stuff, i prefferred the more proggressive trance last year of antix and freq, i thought there could have been more of that. i only heard one guy play that kind of stuff, and it was good, it was luke something i think. perfect stranger played some proggressive trance stuff but a chucked in a few more electro-ey tunes as well that i didn't like.

i was too wrecked for blinky, but i did wake up about 5:30 when he was supposed to be on and liked what i heard. then someone got on the mic and said perfect stranger wasn't going to start until everyone started picking up some rubbish off the dance floor hehe. coombsy i think it was played some nice stuff on sunday before the hydra set closed. spiro and someone else also played some good tunes before they started going a bit meh for my taste so i decided to go home hehe.

i think i preferred the music more last year but the overall venue better this year, a bit easier and quicker to get too, harder to get lost at night, nice looking location, plus volcanic rocks!

That was Spiro!!!

The guy in the 'fucking techno' top was Effin See aka Joe Bennett or Ralph Wiggum from ITM. He played really well and got the whole Hydra stage going on Sat arvo.

Bugger about the hayfever philby! the trance stage on the sat night had to have trance/full on, as much as i would have loved to play sun control species and freq and perfect stranger type of music it wasnt going to fit with the timetable, but thanks heaps for catching it though!

Coombsy rocked it I thought. Needed more psy like that. Was perfect music for the time, and indeed would've gone down well at probably almost any hour I would think.

Absolutely loved that psy mix of Daft Punk - Around The World. Anyone know what it was?
