Just back in the door.

Bythewoods was still dying from her hangover when I left :pac:

I myself was as sober as a judge last night*

Sunday was pretty insanely good.

*I did get some of Perry from Jane's Addiction's whiskey

And I could nearly smell Trent Reznor I was so close

phasers · 13-07-2009 12:30pm

I came home last night after I was caught pocho-less in that one INSANE shower at around 10 past 7

It was pretty good, except that I learned that I hate camping and will never do it again.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were so good, and the crowd was ridiculuously tiny because the stupid Kings of Stupid Leon were on at the same time.
Pete Doherty and TV on the Radio were brilliant too.

Friendly Fires , Doves and Elbow were all good too, I was all over the place trying to see bits of everyone!

I missed Blur :pac: , I was so exhausted. But I could hear Keane from my tent so that counts.

I really really wanted to see Florence and the Machine but I had to get my lift at 8, did anybody see her? Was she good?

Also Ladyhawke and the Horrors cancelled

Disco Bandit · 13-07-2009 12:38pm

Nine inch nails (frontcenter

) and the specials stole the show, Tv on the Radio on sat were my highlights

KeyLimePie · 13-07-2009 12:57pm

Came back to mala at 10:15 this morning.........

it was grand, hated the rain, totally unprepared for it, and the amount of scumbags around the place was SHOCKING i never knew it was that bad

Sully · 13-07-2009 1:46pm

I went to Oxegen a couple of years back - just stayed in the field where they pitch the tents for you getting an airmatress and everything

Much better craic that way and felt more secure anyway. No scumbags hanging around either.

timmywex · 13-07-2009 2:11pm

Not long back!

Quite an amazing weekend, rain did damage it quite a bit though! Saying that i was in blue camp behind xbox stage so was ona slight hill, not the complete blog i though it would have been!!

In fairness didnt see any burning or slashing either! Some little scummer robbed some of my drink on the saturday though

Fight likes apes; Epic
Script; Strangely Good
Kings; Good, had to leave early to get a power nap though, was falling sleepies
Blur; Shockyingly bad i though
Katy Perry; OMG i love her, amazing!!! (Amazing downpour of rain during last song caught me, i hadnt any wet gear

)
Killers; Well im still hoarse, so wasdeadly!

Theres a good few others i saw but couldnt be bothered going on about all of them!

I shall be back next year id hope, praying for nicer weather!
Was anyne in tha mosh during the kings?! Where everyone fell over?! Classic it was!

Piste · 13-07-2009 2:23pm

I should ban you for liking Fight Like Apes -_-

JC 2K3 · 13-07-2009 2:33pm

What about The Script, Kings of Leon, Katie Perry and The Killers?

Dmullar · 13-07-2009 2:42pm

I thought it went really well, and it was my first time this year.

Blur were fantastic, was really tired at that stage though:(

God is and astronaut, M83, foals and passion pit were really good, and Felix da housecat was amazing!

I thought kings of leon were just meh, a lot of their older stuff which i was looking forward to hearing most was played much slower than usual for some reason

, I was disappointed.....

Great weekend overall, shame about the weather on saturday though.

Pigwidgeon · 13-07-2009 3:29pm

just back, such a good weekend. even though i had to sleep in my car for sat and sun because out of the 5 of us, we had 3 tents and 2 collapsed and flooded. still had so much fun.

Jason Mraz was unreal. anybody else here go to him?
James Morrison was really good too.
Wasn't that impressed with Kings of Leon.
Thought the Killers were great though!

Rochey_ · 13-07-2009 3:42pm

I went to bed, I could hear Closer (Love the guitar in it) from my tent, that is more than enough KOL for me.

Was tempted to go to Nick Cave, but I was too tired (Queued 2 and a half hours to get into the pit for Bloc Party)

I have my reservations whether she can actually sing in any capacity.

And i should write a strongly worded email to an admin for you not liking them :P

I missed them myself. Our tents were in R7 for the first night but for some reason our area became the get together spot for every drunk 15-17 year old in the red camp, thus we moved to R13 which was an absolutly brilliant place to camp, great people who could actually handle their beer.

R12 here, maybe we saw each other? :pac:
I loved being in the grown up part of Red, I even got a bit of sleep!

Rochey_ · 13-07-2009 5:30pm

we were in r13 too... good spot.. no annoyin ppl der or no trouble was the place to be

WolfForager · 13-07-2009 5:39pm

Ah R13... It was like a chunk or paradise in the middle of a cesspool...

I got 3 hours of sleep the first night in R7 and the next 2 nights in R13 i got about 7-8 hours sleep each.

WolfForager · 13-07-2009 7:08pm

I thought the security was brilliant, gardai were ignorant *fuzzy noise* though. Everything seemed very well organized, stewards were very friendly and helpful too.

Fad · 13-07-2009 7:56pm

I realise proper searching would be fairly impossible, but the amount of drugs on the campsite was absolutely unreal.

challengemaster · 13-07-2009 7:59pm

Just home, best weekend ever!!! No idea how the fcuk i got sunburned in all the rain, but how and ever....could well be worse!

/falls asleep on desk

(lady gaga is seriously on drugs of some sort)

The amount of people I heard going on about their pills was as annoying as fawk. Fair enough with weed tbh but pills are just messed up imho. Friend actually came across a person doing cocaine in their tent.
I was accused of being on something at numerous occasions but I was just sobre and not high. I guess I understand how unusual that looks there
