THURSDAY
We arrived fairly early on the thursday morning and found our friends in yellow who had all our tents having pitched up the night before.... proceeded to drink pretty much soon as we arrived to get into the spirit. However we all got extremley wasted extremley quickly,almost passed out in my chair so my friend decided to put me to bed....checked my watch.....quatre to ten in the evening!!
FRIDAY-
slept solidly through till the next morning where i woke up feeling refreshed from actually having so much sleep...much to the annoyance of my fellow friends who stayed up most of the night and were suffering for it, one proceeded to throw up in a tesco bag whilst we were enjoying a nutritious pot noodle breakfast...nice!
Watched yourcodenameis:milo followed by blood brothers who were pretty good, then back to camp to begin drinking again.Managed to smuggle two friends with no tickets into the campsite who also were wasted, everybody went on a stealing spree stealing chairs as people had stolen ours the night before.
Went to see the killers and pushed drunkenly past everyone till we could get no closer without being beaten up by butch looking women. Killers were AMAZING, atmosphere was immence, some random girl gave me a free lighter to wave even though the songs werent slow. tried to jump on my friends back to see better only to find alcohol doesnt make a body the sturdyest so both of us collapsed only to have another butch woman grab me up and let me up on her shoulders!
Went round the arena shouting "Ive got soul but im not a soldier" only to have someone threaten to punch me if i didnt shutup so i shutup.
Went back to my tent only to find some c*nt had slashed it with a kinife, threw a big tantrum, got told to shutup and sober up so went to bed.
SATURDAY-
Went to watch from autumn to ashes, all american rejects and biffy clyro who were all absolutley soemthing special. many of my friends were already wasted (i was actualy sober for once not able to face the thought of alcohol without heaving) so we sang too loud and pissed off hungover loking people standing in front of us.
Went back to the tents only to find a girl who was really irritating the members of my camp, now this is real harsh but they were too wasted to care....they tipped orange juice over this girls head then proceeded to put hair removal cream in a hat then put it on this girls head. the girl who was too stoned to even notice didnt seem to notice much as many of us were telling her to quickly wash it off....needless to say an hour later she had a big bald patch much to the delight of some yet horror of others......though she kept returning to our camp??poor sod!
Many then went off to watch hatebreed, bad religion and anti-flag. meanwhile we went on another stealing spree and found a pair of guys boxers which i proceeded to wear for the evening and stole a few chairs. some poeple found some cans of beer which one of our straight edge friends tried to sell with huge X's tattoed all over her arms
Again got very drunk and fell asleep by 11 , although before this i managed to see a can of spaghetti hoops thrown on the fire explode and spray our tents with glowing hoops.
SUNDAY-
Starting to feel the effects of all the alcohol by this point, however went to watch gratitude and was right by the front and watched the most AMAZING guy and set ive ever seen, this guy is so passionate and was hugging us and holding us and singing to us and covering us in his sweat, it was so beautiful and i knew then no band was ever going to top that performance.Tried to watch funeral for a friend but the sound was shit so went back to the tent.
Started drinking again, had a word with the poor bald girl to check she was ok then proceeded to get wasted for the last night drinking £2 bottles of frost jack (cider!! classy!) went to see marylyn manson for a laugh and started stealing chairs for scary gothic looking men in the arena who just told me i could sit down only if i asked!.
Went to then watch bloc party and this was fantastic, we were properly wasted by this point and so this guy put me on his shoulders and carried me to the front, i was two rows back and it was amazing, i was sweating so much but the atmosphere was like i was on drugs or soemthing. then someone decided to crowd surf but kicked me in the face, i then had a nosebleed...the ironic thing was it was during the song by bloc party where they sing "and your nose is bleeding and your nose is bleeding, ive been talking to you" which i thought was hilarious as i wiped my blood on a guy in front with a white shirt :s sorry!
Went back to the tents for the last nights only to see total anarchy and rioting for the last night. the noise was immense and every so often a huuuge explosion would be heard and the campsite would all cheer, people were running round covering each other in toilet paper.
We started a fire but our tent caught fire (well we were gunna burn it anyway dso left it) so these weirdos from the camp next door came shouted at us for ruining the ozone so got the fire marshals to put it out. we booed. so we bought some wood and started the fire with wood, BUT THEY CAME BACK?? told us we were burning it still on the tent and it was still ruining the ozone and that we were stupid and that they didnt pay council tax for us to ruin their fields??? its a festival!
Anyway the marshals put it out again cuz they complained so much.
So we started another fire thsi time exploding canisters of gas and aerosols and everything, but the grand finale was a can of beans on the fire. it took 25 minutes and we lost interest but then all of a sudden they exploded, a huge explosion and it was beautiful!glowing red beans showered into the nighttime and showered down around it. one of my friends caught fire and dived to the ground roling laughing really hard. his jacket now has bean marks all over it!that really pissed off the camp next to us but we didnt care, they got teh fire marshals again (these kids dont no how to have fun) and beacuse i was laughing i pissed them off so they ripped my reading band off my arm!idiots.
my friend passed out in a chair so we wrapped him up with loads of toilet roll like a mummy which scared the shit out of him when he woke up!
But yea it was the best weekend ive ever had at reading, bands were amazing, campsite was even better- Ill never forget it!
