As some of you might know and for some bizarre reason even to my self i decided i would go to Download Festival this year (Pretty girl said it would be cool). This was my very first festival EVER and i think it’s safe to say i was more then little nervous especially as i was pretty much going on my own. I have to admit i almost pulled out, i only new one other person going and she was there with her own friends. So about three weeks before the festival i found out that Guitar Hero will be making an appearance on the 2nd stage over the whole weekend. Fantastic, i throw my hand up before the words had even finished coming out of the mouth of my boss. Why had my pre festival nerves gone all of a sudden i hear you ask…well…VIP/STAFF access and all the beer i could drink plus sharing a camping area with the security was a much added safety bonus, perfect.
So after arriving and finding the patch of grass we would call home for the next few days we set up camp, still a bit unsure if we were in fact in the right place, what with being the only ones in the field. The image above, beer can in hand would become a very common pose over the next 4 days. We sat out side our tents for awhile drinking beer pointing at all the freaks and holding the up most respect for women by quietly pointing out to each other who we “would” and “wouldn’t” while waiting for the queues to go down so we could enter.
Once we got in we all agreed that it was time for another beer before heading down to stage 2 to check out where we would be playing Guitar Hero later that night. After working out what we needed to do for that night we thought it was about time to grab another beer, little did they know i had been in constant contact with a girl since i arrived. With a fresh beer in hand i took it upon my self to leave the old guys behind and chill with my only friend at the festival all the while trying to ignore text messages from my boss asking ”Have you done her yet 
lol”.
I took in some of the sites, went on a tea cup ride, hand some more beer visited the real camp site where all the commoners where then after all that it was about time to hit the stage…ROCK ON!
