Well Big Day Out was pretty awesome. I must say though that now I am completely wrecked haha.
Flew up on Thursday morning with a crew of peeps. One of whom was planning on taking a GIANT can of hair spray on the plane and another who almost didn't tell the airline lady that she had matches scattered through the bottom of her bag. ha oh we would have gone down in a blaze of glory.
arrived in Auckland where it was pissing down with rain and our plane had to just hang out on the tarmac for a while because the fire alarms had gone off in the air terminal hahaha and everyone had to evacuate it and stand in the rain.
Finally got into the terminal and met up with two more friends who had been waiting for us at the airport since their planes landed a couple hours ago.
shuttled it into town where we went various seperate ways and i lugged a bag around queen st. met my friend Heleyni who had driven up the night before and we set about to our hotel. There had been some confusion over where we were staying which was interesting haha. but we stayed somewhere real nice in the end.
Went out and checked out queen st/K rd etc. got recognised off myspace/here a few times haha. Went to a few cool places like this music store called Real Groovy so Heleyni could get her ticket for big day out. almost decided that I hated Auckland again the moment we walked in. haha. but i got over it.
Checked out the illicit store too which I quite like illicit.
had some good turkish food for lunch. Good old kebab places, heh you can count on them being pretty much the same just about anywhere.
saw lots of people i knew. ummm
went back to the hotel, walked past Iggy Pop and was like hey wait a sec, went back to the room, put on the leopard bikini and hung out in the pool and spa for a while.
and then we made vodka lemon limes and got trashed.
Went out for a bit. got yelled at lots by boyracers (my favourite one was the one that offered $15 for the both of us. That was pretty cool...), had strawberry daquiries and margaritas in a bar, met some american 'rockstars' or something who were playing at BDO, though I had no idea who they were so it was kind of like blah. got recognised off here again, talked to all sorts of people, saw the boys from Shihad arrive just as we left haha.
Crashed out.
Got up and got fancy for BDO, I dont have many photos yet but i will soon. Went out and had some awesome vegetarian fritata and coffee. Drank lots of vodka. Caught the bus to BDO, and then the madness began.
Argh why do I take party pills? haha I always feel like craaap the day after taking them and go on this big like talking buzz where I just talk tooo much to everyone haha. But then I also have the time of my life.
Drank and drank and drank in the beer tent. Checked out lots of bands. handed out some SG stickers. Franz Ferdinand were pretty cool. So were Mudvayne - the crowd was amazing, I didn't go in the pit I watched it from the beer tent haha but I took photos.
This is me and Heleyni when we arrived:

Iggy Pop was cool. Kings of Leon sounded just like their cd and didn't move around or like...perform much, they were cool but I was slightly disappointed. Saw some New Zealand bands play. Shihad rocked out. Danced in the boiler room. Randomly met a couple of guys from the Living End. I think I kind of freaked them out haha. Went and looked at the illict tent. Lost Heleyni. Talked to people. Met up with a friend and went and drank vodka and V haha.
Ended up catching the bus back to the hotel and getting more trashed and having lots of fun.
Paid for it the next day though. I was so sick I thought I was going to die haha. The taxi ride to the airport was no fun. The plane ride back home wasn't much fun either. Especially how it kept like going up and down and attempting to drop out of the sky at random intervals.
made it safely in. got home. ate for the first time since 11am the day before haha, then got dressed up,and went out to a show or two. (some bands called Kitch and Cobra Khan and some other bands I forget). Tried to get drunk. Had lots of shots and lots of vodka but I couldn't get drunk! so i was mostly just bored. the bands were kind of punk I guess. They were good and everything but I dunno maybe I was just too tired to be getting into it.
And today all my injuries since Thursday have revealed themselves to me: my leg, I'm pretty sure I've pulled a muscle or six in my left one, I have bruises everywhere, my ear and my tounge (???) are acting real fucked up, and I have this weird mark on my face haha thank god for makeup. Got another day to recover then its back to work. I had so much fun though.
anyway this has turned into a loooong entry,
Heres a couple of photos with the sexy Australian SG ladies I met in Sydney and Brisbane last month.

Theres so much more to say, but I've probably forgotten it.
