too many people too much going on, all the shop stalls, food stalls fairground possibly, and the massive queus for the toilets beer tokens and beer itself. I really hate the way the big stage gets all the good sound and the smaller stages and tents get crap sound, no video screen etc, when, usually the better more interesting bands. Al my fav bands at V were on the smaller stages. Isle of wight was better cos there was only one stage and one disco tent. NO choice makes things a lot easier.

The stage FF was on had a video screen, but for some reason, it wasn't being used. They probably weren't expecting such a large crowd, and I swear, their draw was bigger than Ryan's was. By the end, I almost got close enough to see what color their hair was. ;) And, of course, one of them was wearing a cowboy hat. At least one band member has to wear a cowboy hat when they're from another country. And speaking of, whoa--incredibly sexy speaking voice. YUM.

At least we don't have beer tokens. If we want a beer, we just dish out the big bucks and pay for it. There's no soda, oddly enough, but the food stalls have things like flavored tea, lemonade, one even has coffee drinks--the only source of caffeine out there, which is just wrong.

I could not believe it. Two o'clock in the morning, I woke up with a major cramp in my right calf. The thing went on for about six minutes--I didn't think it was ever going to stop. First it was a hard knot that kept twisting, and then it turned into. . . well, it felt like a car going over a road consising entirely of speedbumps, just this weird massive throbbing thing. I tried to keep my leg stretched out, hoping it would go away--I can't imagine the pain I would have been in if I'd let my leg curl up. And the neighbors must have thought I was having one long, somewhat painful orgasm from the noise I was making, LOL. I can't remember the last time something like that has happened. And then, I got one in my left thigh--much sharper pain, but at least it was over quickly. I must not be getting enough potassiam in my diet, but I can't believe last night was responsible for it. I've stood that long before without consequence. At least I'm bringing a towel with me today so I can sit down.

My first show isn't for another five hours, so I'm goign to go get my supplies for the weekend (sunscreen, water, those little packets of handwipes because it is dirty out there), practice some tennis, shower, maybe take a nap, and then head out. Thank goodness it starts late, or I'd never make it. But then, I guess they figure no one else would, either. ;)
