I'm making a blog post about my day at the Swedish music festival Peace&Love. (It sounds like a hippie thing, but it's actually a cool festival) I've also posted this on a forum about a game called Club Penguin if you know what it is, but I wanted to share it here too.
I went to the bus with my dad at 5 PM, and arrived in the city the festival was in shortly later. While walking to the festivals enterance, I saw a local hobo, called "The Lumberjack" carrying around his bicycle as usual. Some people waiting in the line to a cash dispenser got in his way, and he shouted "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" at the top of his lungs. Very humorous.
After meeting a friend and giving the staff our tickets, I saw the Swedish metal band Backyard Babies. They were kinda good. After seeing them I went to the Gibson bus (http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2008/music-rising_bus1.jpg) that had been parked a few hundred meters away and you was allowed to look at. After that me and my dad went to see the band A Camp, but the performance was so boring that after a few songs we decided to go rest our feet with my friend at a nerby ice cream bar. After having a soda and some ice cream, we watched the musician Lars Winnerbäck. Althrough his music isn't exactly my style, he was really good, especially near the end of the show. Now we're heading to the big stage where Volbeat and Mötley Crüe will play. There is one growing dilemma, however: the urge to go to the bathroom. But considering how using one of these disgusting portable toilets is a fate far worse than death, I tried ignoring it the best I could. Now I got the stage, with a PERFECT view of it! Half an hour later, the Danish metal band Volbeat starts playing. I've never even heard their name before, but WOW, they were really good! However the left screen appears to be broken. After their concert I didn't want to leave the spot I was standing in because it would risk someone else taking it, so I had to stay there for an hour before Mötley Crüe starts playing. My feet are starting to hurt like hell after standing up for so long.
Then, an hour later a black front curtain comes down, and synth and a preacher is heard. Then Mick Mars trademark motorcycle-styled guitar sound is heard, the curtain falls down, and they start playing Kickstart My Heart. The audience goes crazy, but man, is it crowded here?? Everything is great, Mick Mars crazy guitar solos, Nikkis cool attitude, Vince jumping around on the stage and Tommy Lees hilarious speeches makes this an awesome concert. After the encore, Home Sweet Home, and ending with a great call-and-respond by Tommy the concert is over. Now there are no more bands today, and we're starting to go to the bus. It's really nice night weather, and the mood is great, no druggies and crap. I also bought a Mötley Crüe-Shout At the Devil T-Shirt on the way back. In some magical way my dad and I manage go get into the second bus, but there are no empty seats. I sometimes have to kneel down to rest my poor feet. Now we're finally home, the time is 3 AM and it's getting light outside. After getting inside the house, having something to drink and giving my feet some massage, I fell asleep. It had been a great day.
