Well I was just checkin this out and I realized I havnt written in this in forever so Here GOES
HFSTIVAL 2004 ---> kicked ass...so much lol So much more than when I went 2 years ago
THE GOERS:So it ended up being Me, Kris, John, Billy, Blair, Sayer, Steve and Shane, we got split up a few times but other than that we hung out most of the day
THE MOSHING AND SURFING: Well, we all went down for OAR, but there wasnt that many people there at the time, and no major moshes had been started. However when we headed outside to the street stage it was a different story during Taking Back Sunday.
Later on Me and Kris headed off with this kid Josh to the field for Lost Prophets, and somehow lost Blair and Sayer on the way (the kid ran everywhere lol) Well the moshing continued until we left him to go watch Lit play on the street stage (because....they kick ass) We got massivly close by following this one guy and his gf up to the third row.
When we wanted to get out during the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, we had three random guys assist us from the crowd by surfing us all the way to the back while yelling "ALRIGHT THESE LADIES ARE COMIN OUT!"
We all led Shane into the "real world" as Steve puts it lol
YUCKS, ICKS, OUCHES AND "SUCKS": Well, you dont mosh and surf and jump without paying a price. Billy got dropped a total of five times, and ended up with some massive mud stains on the ass of his khakis (which looked suspiciously like he shit himself). John got dropped on his head, lost ANOTHER camera, and recieved an enormous hole in the crotch of his shorts (hmmm mysterious...)
The girls were attacked by multiple horny drunk guys, and Kristin somehow recieved a linear gash on her forehead that she doesnt remember (hey...weve all been a little funky) I got elbowed in the jaw and ribs by some pyscho guy in the lit pit who insisted on flailing, and a random bruise on my hand from who knows what.
Steve got kicked in the face/chin area, and Shane (the lucky loser) didnt get hurt.
However, whats the YUCK factor you wonder? I would say that Blair getting puked on right before my eyes was probably the worst moment. Thank god it was pure beer and nothing else...I mean this stuff was clear and yellow...allllll beeeerrr but alll over her lol
KICK ASS STUFFS: I caught a sticker from the bass player (Kevin) from Lit, and Kristin ALMOST caught a drumstick (the stupid flailing arm guy's gf in front of us caught it damn her)
Offspring was the best performance all day, Lit kicked butt just b cuz they always do, and Yellowcard was pretty nifty as well.
BANDS GONE WILD: Well, Yellowcard's fiddler always does sum crazy stuff. He didnt fail to back flip off an amp while playing this year which was freakin awesome.
A. Jay from lit did this awesome water thing where he looked like he was gonna sing, but instead did some kind of whale impression up in the air, and having all his mouth water land on the crowd...(needless to say, we all loved it)
The Offpring decided to cool off the entire audience by whipping out a fire hose and sprayin the entire crowd at the main stage for about 5 minutes straight.
best crazy moment: The taking back sunday vocalist, climbing up the metal structure of the stage to the top, putting his legs through two of the bars, and hanging upside-down a good 80 feet from the ground while singing...(it was hot)
THE DRUGS: My friends and I have been exposed secondhandily to 60,000 other peoples pot for about 14 hours straight. Please excuse anything we say that seems retarded...and the fact that we still cant open our eyes all the way...give us a few days and well be alright lol
So anyway...My eyes burn, I cant smell anything, I ache all over, and I havn't spoken a sentance that has made sense in 48 hours...lets just say that was one hell of a good concert.
