As usual, forgot to write about something in the last blog & will give a brief overview of June's Roskilde Festival now. Ate lots of terrible food eg. cold frankfurts & stale bread. Showered once in 8 days & was rudely photographed by Daniel while making an attempt at personal hygiene by shaving my armpits outside the tent. Worked in the parking lot in order to get a free ticket. Only encountered a few crazy people, amongst them an incredibly stoned couple who couldn't remember where they'd parked their car & wanted us to help them somehow, a guy who couldn't afford a ticket and absolutely could not understand why they wouldn't let him in for free & a Swede who was quite convinced that I was directing him to a hash stall rather than the car park exit. Saw some great & some amusing bands, including Metallica (obviously they fall into the second category), Beth Gibbons from 'Portishead', Asian Dub Foundation, Iron Maiden, Melvins, Tomahawk, Blur, The Cardigans, Queens of the Stone Age, Massive Attack & Björk. All in all, a great festival.
