I had a pretty rad weekend. Friday night Anthony played at Planet nightclub (he runs a monthly club night there and it's been getting bigger and better each month). It was a really good night and I barely even drank anything, which was an amazing feat unto itself. It was meant to be a quiet night due to having to be up at a reasonable time the next day, but I managed to only get to bed at 4am, as usual.

Saturday I went with Daz and Ash to the Gold Coast. They had a unit for the weekend for Big Day Out and I decided to stay there Saturday night with them. The trip there was hilarious, what should have been an hour trip ended up being over two hours because Daz just kept going the wrong way and getting lost. At one point I fell asleep (I had a migraine coming on and no pain killers with me) and when I woke up Daz had gone way past the exit to Surfers Paradise and had I not woken up we may have found ourself in Byron Bay (which is 2 hours away, in case you didn't know). But we got there eventually, and hung out in the hotel for a while before going out for dinner.

After dinner Daz and I went to an alternative club called The Party as I'd always wanted to check it out. It's you standard sort of place with emo's and goths in top hats and over-priced drinks. But something exciting did happen. Two emo guys were "dancing" which involved them running at and leaping onto each other. Well the smaller one leapt on the bigger guy who, playfully, pushed him off and onto the ground. But it ended badly and the guy hit his head on the ground pretty hard. It looked like he got knocked out for a bit, and I was all "Well serves him right or being stupid" but then I saw his female friends crying and the security were starting to panic. So I went to investigate and this poor guy had split his head open and there was a lot of blood gushing out. I thought he was dying and stared at him til all the blood made me feel sick and I had to go outside to calm down. But not 10 minutes later the very same guy walks out with his friends (including a sheepish looking mate who knocked him down in the first place) and a security guard, laughing, blood all over his face. I guess he was drunk enough to be OK, so I didn't feel so bad then. It was gross but also pretty exciting.

( Anyway the next day was Big Day Out )

I found some more photos on the interwebs from Parklife. No LJ cut so suck it up!

I used to love fluro colours, back when they were hideously daggy and got my glares of horror from just about everyone who had an ounce of fashion sense. Those were the days. And now it's everywhere, like some sort of blinding wave of vomit. Cheap, Supre-bought vomit. No shit, even the guys were wearing shirts from Supre. BOYS!

Holy shit I am exhausted. I should have been in bed hours ago, seeing as how I nearly fell asleep at work on several ocassions, but I'm a nerd and had to read 20+ pages of my friends list D:<

Friday night was a great sucess, though it would have been a better success if those boys weren't so shit at planning. Honest to god, they couldn't run a piss-up at a brewery (which is virtually what this was, mind). But it was fun, and lots of people came (even Verity, much to my screaming-really-loud-in-public-and-embarassing-everyone delight). I took a lot of photos but I have a feeling they'll need a lot of Photoshopping, as everyone got a bit too loose too early and so everyone looks revolting in most of the pictures. Oops.

Sunday was Good Vibrations, which I didn't have to work at because they didn't have anything for us to really do, but I did anyway because I'm nice and also because I was drunk. Sara got too drunk on cask wine on the way there and was later rushed to hospital, some fuckwit set a fire outside the venue which scared me as I thought there might have been mass panic, I saw a guy OD, and had a pretty good time over all. I'll post pics later in the week, as right now mums screeching at me to go to bed.

Have a photo from Friday night, taken from inthemix.com.au, which I really don't remember happening at all. GOOOOOOD TIMES!
