Good Gad’z.what a weekend for OneLoveWorld.Virgin Fest BaaaBee!!!!
Sarah and I made a duel executives decision and decided to forfeit the deposit w/Trip @ Sunshine DayDream for vending yet another Jerry’s Birthday Bash, and instead, ROCK OUT AT VIRGIN FEST!!!
Tho I was a bit concerned w/lost of immediate revenueOMG am I glad we did!!

We started off the entire foray by securing 2 day tkts for the show thru Craigslist. [Craigslist freakin rocks, let'me'tell'ya'wat] a woman by the name of Allison had to let hers go at the last moment [fifdy off each tktie 2boot!!] due to a torn calf muskull that she acquired thru a softball gameMUCHO GRACIS 2 ALLISON.we hope your calf heals soon and we’ll be’a shootin’ out all the JPEGS and AVI’S!!!

Then it was off to our friend and WebMASTA’BLASTA, Dylan K’z, who lives in the warehouse district in downtown B-MORE! A wee-bit-o-partin’ and a tad bit of work later, we found ourselves a’wanderin’ down ‘bout Fells Pointdid some bar hoppin’ and ended up runnin inta a guy who was workin w/the vendors @ All Good!! He’s been hikin the AT in between Festi’s!! turns out he’s workin Virgin Fest too!! Gotta luv ya some Clean Vibes aye?!!

We got up and hit the subway/shuttle bus to the show.what a cluster fuck that was comin’ homeliterally 1000′s of people qued up for 2 busesSarah and I are old hats at Bangkok bus loading techniques, and thus we employed ‘emSarah tripped [on the bus step as opposed to psychedelics!] right as she was getting on, so I had to [yet again] employ “arms&legs of steel” and block any and all on comers till she got up. Fun. So the next day.we drove!!

Once inside tho [and we could'a totally coped a 2day wrist band w/just a day tkt], we went straight away to the front of the showwe just missed CHEAP TRICK, so we got up front for THE FRATELLISgot us sum food , agua and liquor drinks, [freakin strong too!! Remember to tip your bartenders!!] and headed back into the meaty crush of INCUBUS, BEN HARPER & THE INNOVENT CRIMINALS, THE BEASTIE BOYS, THE POLICE.AND MODEST MOUSE!!! god dammy kingdom for my camera!!! The Virgin folk won’t allow ‘professional’ cameras in [and I can dig that] so we didn’t get any shots of the show ‘cept on me shitty mobile.I’ll try at post’em a bit later[we went and bought a cheap Fuji digi for Sunday's show's tho!!]

On Sundayomg was it great.we missed getting wicked close for SPOONbut from PANIC! AT THE DISCO thru the YEAH YEAH YEAHS, INTERPOL and THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, we’z waz in 3rd row center.pretty much exactly where we was just 24′lil hours b4!!! The crush for the pumpkins was, by far, the most intensethe day b4, there was quite-o-bit of surfin goin down but the vast majority was really folks who were passin out from the heatit was like 98+ that dayand not a cloud in da skybeating the heat wasn’t an option if’n your dedicated to being in the 1st few rows.and being an old hat at, [get itme hat IS old!! J] we were SOOooooo preparedbookoo water, some snacksbeersspray on sunblock , and, for me personally, my trusty squirt bottle of the horse liliment, Absorbine. No kiddin’ this shit works.gotta get it at a feed store but you’ll thank me if ya dohere’s a link to see what it looks likehttp://www.absorbine.com/absorbine/product_detail/6 anywhothose who prepare properly get at see all the shiznits!! And as Campbell says.it was MMM MMMM GOOD!! My ONLY bitchy complaint was not gettin’ ta see VELVET REVOLVERthat bummed me right outnot that I’m a fan of Slash[dick] or scott weilandwill that’s not truestill a big fan’a da drummer for The Stone Temple Pilotsbut it’s always nice at see a fellow addict recover and stay sober[assuming he is!!]

Anyways.if’n time permitsmore later..
