This is my first blog since Bloodstock 2010 and what a blast it was. Seriously, I've never seen so many drunk people who weren't kicking the living daylights out of each other in all my life and that made me think about alcohol and people in general, the only bit of violence that was drink influenced I heard about was the bin jousting but that was up in another camp site. So that didn't concern me much.

I still don't understand why a bunch of drunk, viking-esque people don't get violent over a few drinks. They just get loud. Unlike the general population who seem to get violent. Well in my experiences in Newcastle and Whitley Bay late at night.  If any-one has an answer to this please send me a postcard cause I haven't got a clue what's going on.

Anyway, I tell you the truth. If it wasn't for a little blonde girl called Rebecca I would NOT have made it out of Bloodstock alive. Especially with this drunk guy... When I say drunk I meant to say almost incapacitated. He came up to me and said "do you want to play a game?" and here I was at this time looking around as if he could have been talking to someone else (plus I was looking for Rebecca. At this point I lost my tent and she offered to come and help me look for it) and this drunk guy continued on and said "it's called" *insert ominous music here* "box on head"  thank God Rebecca managed to find me and pull me away from this person otherwise I wouldn't have survived that one night. To be honest, I still never found my tent but her being there was enough to keep me happy for a bit.

To be honest though yeah going to see Children Of Bodom. Fear Factory and numerous other bands throughout the weekend was really, really cool. But a couple of things made my weekend. To be honest and those events I can't remember every little detail but here is the first one.

I was just randomly rambling enjoying the bright moonlight gazing up at the stars... Sorry what? No that's not how it started off. But it could have started like that.

I was randomly walking past this Viking reinactment as soon as Zocalo had finished (great band. Check them out) to get my phone which was charging at the time and I hear a little voice shouting "Andrew" and I was is that the wind? or is that someone looking for me. I forget about this and get my phone and go back outside to this Viking reinactment. They weren't there when I got back. So I just shrugged it off as the wind. 

Then a couple of hours later I am randomly walking through the over priced fairground on my way to the German CD tent (which IS AWESOME, could spend thousands in there) and I hear this voice which says "I THINK I KNOW YOU!" yes they talk like Death from Discworld. and I turn around looking bemused in my Andyish way and it takes me a good few seconds to process this statement and they fire a question at me and they ask "does your name begin with an A" I thought at this point I had an obsessed stalker on my hands. So I precede to look at them strangely and then they say " I know Rebecca"  and here I am still bemused and I didn't remember who Rebecca was and by this moment I've already said my name does begin with an A and they said "She's been looking ALL over for you, she's kinda shy though" and I just finally twigged. Now I could have gone all rambo on her and asked her where she was but instead she randomly grabbed me and started to take me to her. We didn't talk though because her mother was about and my phone went off (well done father of mine. Perfect timing per usual.)

Then her friend rings me at like midnight and says "I have someone that wants to speak to you" and I was like "a magic mushroom" but no it turns out it's Rebecca. We talk on the phone for two hours (Because I was bored) and then I tell her I can't find my tent and she comes from her campsite just to help me find my tent AND the first thing she does when she see's me is give me a huge hug like she's not seen me for years. I was like woah, who are you? 

 This was the first time we'd met.

Facebook is an amazing tool.

Can't remember what the second event was, but I think it involved beer, singing and Klingon esque chanting and more singing and more beer. Good night though. It was to keep people from setting fire to my tent too. 

Not going next year though because she seems to like me and I've told her I'm with someone but she seemed to have forgotten. Oh well.
