Some of my favorite memories of the day:
- Seeing Aloe Blacc and, more specifically, a guy at the Aloe Blacc show who was wearing a shirt that read 'Go to Bunnings, buy some timber, build a bridge and get over it.' Not only was it creative, but it appeared to be homemade and was a tank top. For some reason, men here love tank tops. Also, when Aloe Blacc asked the audience to shout out the name of the person they wish was there with them, Kevin shouted without hesitation - 'STEVE MANOLAS!'
Kevin and Katie
Glistening in the afternoon heat
Crowd loving Aloe Blacc
- Checking out Fat Freddy's Drop and their trombone player who stripped down to his undies and danced around the stage
Trombone guy ruled!
Just checking to make sure the camera's working
- Watching a bit of the Ting Tings while sipping a delicious frozen cocktail
Cheers!
- Nas and Damien Marley, with their flag waver who NEVER stopped waving the Rasta flag...hardest working man in show biz I think
- Catching the end of Miike Snow and the beginning of Faithless from a relaxed spot on the hill
- Phoenix giving us a high energy performance with an amazing light show. Then seeing the lead singer come down into the crowd and lean over the fans, while being anchored by a security guy with one hand firmly in the back of his pants so he didn't fall. Necessary, but awkward.
- Ludacris singing 'All I Do Is Win' while people danced like crazy under the tent
The lowlight of my day was losing my new watch in the first couple of hours we were there. I made the mistake of trying to be responsible and re-applying sunscreen between shows, and I forgot to put my watch back on when I was done. It was gone within minutes of leaving that spot, and I hope whoever is wearing it now feels like a bad person!
Even that bit of bad luck didn't put a damper on a really great day; can't wait to do it again!
