Fler ismaskiner and the punishing rain.

I'll be keeping it short, since I'm really manky from yesterday and have places to go.

On friday we had a much delayed birthday celebration for Alex. Barbeque spits, blueberry juice and the gift of a icecream machine. Rounded of with trying to conquer the world in Civ4.

Yesterday was Sonisphere 2010. And OMG WTFBBQ!!! The rain. The Rain. THE RAIN! I have never been so wet in my life.

I managed to see Anthrax. Who were really boring on stage. I only got to hear Hammerfall, which caused alot of giggling, especially from my dear mother who was with me. They are cute, they are fun, but they're not metal. Then we actually got good spots for Slayer, whilst waiting for the others to show up. Slayer were even more boring on stage. Holy crap that was uninspirerd. And the old saying is true. "You like Slayer riffs. You do not like Slayer." And I can't belive that after 30 years in the bizz they still havn't learned to play their instruments. That's just... sad.

Finally we met up with Alex and her sister, got some food and spots for Alice Cooper near the front. Alice was fun, made an effort and could still pull it all off. Sure it's over the top theatricals, but it's awesome and silly, but we got to dance, despite the rain. There was no chance in trying to get to Motley Crue, so we stayed put. Then the rain actually stopped for a bit. Iron Maiden went on. It was great. 55000 people were there. Awesomeness happened. Then it ended, everyone started going home. Then the muterfakkingrainstormfromhellwithlightingandshitontop happened. Holy crap! The whole grassfield had been turned to shit-slurry. And then the heavens opened up on everyone. People tore down picket fences to get out of there. We rode the wave and made it to Alex's appartment which is only 15 minutes (in good weather mind you) away from the festival area.

Lobsang tea was had. Clothing was emptied of water (I can't say dried) as best as possible before we all went on, trying to get home. We took a detour around town to get away from the crowd and made good time. Then everyone fell over.

Sounds like a friggin' hardcore festival, d00d! Water everywhere. Same as here in Malmö, actually - except we don't have any cool gigs... Just shitloads of rain.
