things I learned


Two things I learned upon my return to the "Music Festival Scene":

1. Sweat can blind you. When squeezing yourself between bouncing bodies in an effort to get closer than 100 metres of the stage, your sweat - or possibly someone else's - may drip down your forehead, behind your sunglasses and into your eyes, temporarily blinding you and increasing the chances of navigating yourself into the armpit of an older, sweatier and shirtless man.

2. Basic physics and the law of gravity. If you are a big, beefy man and you decide to climb onto the shoulders of your smaller, sweatier and weaker mate, you are not going to stay up there long. The resounding crack as you both fall back onto the concrete will cut through the sound of the band onstage and make it clear to those around you that you are a dick.
