(14/07/08)
Bridget, Shea, Ilke, Anna, Fergal and I went to the Isle of Wight Festival a few weeks ago.
You may night have realised this, but you have to go via ferry to get to the Isle, there's no tunnel:
We brought a lot of shiit with us:
Which paid off at the camp site, however! Chilling out around a barbie when we arrived with a few Vodka mixes was very welcome:
So was playing poker in the fantastic weather during the day! We roped in a dude from a neighbouring tent so we could win more money ;-)
Didn't see any problems the whole weekend, but we saw a few people who had a bit much to drink:
View towards the main stage, I had to stand on Shea's shoulders to get this shot:
OK, fine, it was on a fun fair ride:
Anna and Bridget:
Crowd soaking up the sun with some looming clouds in the background over the mainland, which didn't get any closer:
Here's a few crowd shots:
Anna's really short:
Ilke, Shea and Shea's gimp went on some of the fun fair rides as well (Shea doesn't believe in locking his gimp up in a box while he's not using him):
Here's Fergal, getting all excited. He's a ninja and was able to catch his hat as soon as the wind blew it off:
Wave ya hands in the air!
Like ya just don't care:
Some really famous dude on stage:
Bridge and I, with Anna on her tippy toes:
Great lighting effects:
We even found a spare 30 mins to knock up a sand sculpture:
More poker the next day:
Shea is special indeed:
Back to the main area:
We saw the Australian Pink Floyd Experience as well, they were awesome, packing out the main tent:
On the last full day, we took off in the morning to go to the beach. Ilke didn't wanna go for a swim, so Fergal and Shea encouraged her to try:
We decided to change from playing poker to playing memory, I was of course really, really awesome at it, except I drank beer and ended up pretending to be really, really craap:
Fergal showing Ilke how to dance:
Catching the last of the days rays:
A huge final applause at the end of Isle of Wight:
Was a fantastic festival, really well run. Looking forward to V now!
