Facebook Notes: TITP 2009

Onto a little something from Facebook, a brief overview of our TITP visit in 2009. Only really going to be kept here for sentimental reasons. Not really worth reading too much.


Good Weather? Check
Good Music? Check
Good Banter? Debata… I mean: Check.
Good Fun? Check.
Rock And Fucking Roll? Kinda. A bit. Checkish.

T in the Park 2009 is over. The tents have been struck (well, some probably have)and the car park has been emptied. Richard did an itemised blog thing on Facebook and I can’t be bothered reiterating his entire posts so we will just do a list. I like lists. Especially the list to kill.

Yay! All That Was Good About T IN THE PARK! [in the order I recall them]

• The absolutely cracking weather for the duration of the whole weekend [except Sunday morning]
• The Nine Inch Nails mosh pit
• Dominoes pizza. For every meal, every day! Full of pizzay goodness!
• Watching Rich get concerned about the dead man in the field. And not helping him ease his guilt for not checking [Do you think he is still dead? …It is kinda permanent!].
• Capturing my hatred for all people by compiling a list full of those that I would happily kill.
• Snow Patrol/Franz Ferdinand/Kings Of Leon/Regina Spektor/NIN/White Lies
• Watching the reaction to some random people hearing Richard say “To be fair, most people want to stab you [craig]” out of context.
• Seeing Graham again [albeit it briefly]
• Topless men with hot bodies
• Being prepared for all eventualities… so I did not BURN! Or require a shit.
• Nicols comments about on a group of ladies who genuinely look like they are the nicest people in the world: “you never know, they might be filthy”.
• Leanne being angry at me for not meeting her halfway through the Snow Patrol set, then apologising and saying she didn’t know what she said just knows what she is like. Yeap, Leanne came down with red haze. 
• Wearing STUPID clothing. Yeap, Nine Inch Nails with an Orange and white floral shirt, and a battered straw hat, a yellow and white chequered shirt for snow patrol, and some green floral shirt for the Friday. Love it.
• Stating that obesity is nature’s way of giving up on someone…
• Katy Perry covering Queen

Boo! All That Was Bad About T IN THE PARK!

• Our Friendly Neighbourhood Spider Junkies. That enjoy being friendly throughout the whole night!
• If I hear one more complaint about it being too hot and wanting it to rain…
• Leanne discovering the best way to torture me [on the record, it is to give me glasses of vodka…]
• Lady GaGa. I mean, what is the point?
• Calvin Harris. I mean… really… what is the point?
• Topless men with hotter bodies than I.
• Hayfever. FUCKING HAYFEVER AND YOUR SHITTY SHITNESS.
• Not eating or sleeping in 4 nights and getting utterly drunk and attempting to call every single person in my phone book. Thank god most did not connect…
• Being told by a random stranger that “people like me make him want to rip my fucking head off”. I was wearing the stupid orange floral shirt at the time.
• Being so tired on Sunday I napped through the second half of Ragina Spektor. She was amazing, I literally could not stand
• Couples

Should bring this list to a close for now, else I could probably write indefinitely. All in all it was a truly fantastic weekend. Good to lose some inhibitions and have some absolute banter. Yeah so I was shattered, yeah I hardly slept, didn’t eat, did some stupid things and spoke to some people I shouldn’t. But would I do it again? Of course! Without a second thought! Utilise more vodka though. And really need to learn to drink beer. But yeah I can complain, and I can moan and I did a lot during the weekend. But if you live life in your comfort zone, you miss out a hell of a lot. Wouldn’t swap the weekend for all the rest.

Roll on 2010! And roll on Bruce Springsteen. Baby we were born to run!

I got my propaganda I got revisionism
I got my violence in hi-def ultra-realism
I’m a part of this great nation
I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism
