The best thing about festivals.

I was at Creamfields Ireland on Saturday, and I've decided the thing I enjoy almost the most is just the sheer volume of people there is to mess around with. On a good day, like when the organisation is good and it's easy to see who you want, with no clashing or whatever, I always end up doing all kinds of "bonkers" stunts. Of course I loved seeing Underworld and all on Saturday but we were so up for it all day that some of the joking around was classic too.

Like we'd go up to people who looked completely E'd off their heads and start one of those bullshit conversations with them, and then start staring at them really intensely and say something like "I'm normally really quiet, it's just I'm so off my face" and then stare at them again and be like "normally, I hate people, I just stay around my room, in fact if I wasn't so out of it now, I'd be trying to stab someone". All these people were so paranoid and fucked that they'd be like terrified, it was super.

Then later we gave out flyers for Carl Craig next week as a favour to our promoter mate, and we had a mad time. I mean giving out flyers seems boring but the whole tent was so off their heads that they were all wandering over like zombies with their hands held out for a flyer. And theny you'd have one left and like scream over the music "one fucking left, JUST ONE" and all these people would run at you like it's a ticket to America or something, god it was amazing. At one point some girl took two and my best friend just flung all the rest on the ground and got really emotional and was like screaming "I can't do it, I can't go on giving out this shit when people just keep abusing me and treating me like shit, it's just SO SHIIIIIIT". She was so apologetic, it was the funniest thing ever.

Or after Jon Carter he got him to sign his arm, totally classic. There's about ten more stories like these and they pretty much made the day, I did a little bit of stuff like this at Glastonbury but not as much, there's just this kind of crap joke connection between me and some of the people I was with on Saturday, I don't even know if it's funny to anyone else but I laugh now even thinking about it. Even at the party after Creamfields, at one point I took a beer from the fridge, and it had been in the freezer and it was all frozen, and this guy had just opened another beer, and he wasn't looking so I swapped them. You can imagine him picking up his beer and it being all frozen, he's sort of drunk at this point and thinking "what the fuck just happened", it was one of those things that was so weird he couldn't have said it to anyone at the time.

Em so do any of you have any stories like this to relate? I sound like Russel Brand now possibly but anyway, what a day.
