Exit: Do's and Dont's
Festivals are a place where you can start over: pretend you're crazy, pretend you're sane, pretend you have a sense of humor, pretend you are too old for this shit, pretend you know something about music, pretend you know something about fashion, pretend you're cool, pretend you are popular, pretend you are from somewhere else, pretend you are not a crazy brat with no sense of humor who knows something about music and fashion and is from somewhere else. I chose to pretend I'm going to collect photo material for a blog entry, but then I gave up cause this really ain't a proper place for a pic gallery.Now, a few tips I have for those who pretend they go to music festivals to have fun:
1) There is no point in taking pictures with your mobile device - phones emit light into the eyes of everyone behind you and give shitty quality images.
2) Limit your hair height to no more than 2-3cm from the top of your head - whoever made you as short or as tall as you are, he did it for a reason and one of the reasons is not to block the view of everyone who was made taller than you
3) Take showers - the smell of beer, as well as dust clogs in one's nostrils will block out most of the stench that comes from daily sweating and not taking a shower, but some of them nasty particles still manage to get through
4) Push no more than one person at a time - otherwise a stampede of people will stomp you back.
5) If you are a Brit and have 19,999 methed out friends, organize a festival closer to home - most of the bands you see abroad probably play regularly at venues near your home. Yes, drinks are cheaper here, but we have struggled hard for 1000's of years to keep beer prices low in our region. Yes, girls are very good looking, they represent approximately 50% of the local population and there is no need to repeat it each time you see one. Yes, people are friendly and hospitable, but they also have a violent history, so it's OK if you come back, just think about what I've said.
The best dressed male award goes to Borat the Undressed, and the best dressed female award goes to the girl wearing nothing but invisible panties under a medium-sized shirt.
And finally, a tip for meself going through a festival without getting enough beers isn't as fun. It gets you grumpy, overly analytical and plain boring. Anti-kudos for that.
