Last week I got a flood of emails about various 2009 festivals and it got my blood rushing. My friends and I had actually agreed on “No more festivals” but as soon as I saw the line up, I knew that wouldn’t be so.

Whenever tickets come out it’s a mad crazy rush. You sit there at your desk hitting the refresh button waiting for the page to load. It’s very nerve wracking. Today was one of those mad rush days. At 12noon pre-sale tickets for Homebake 2009 were released and I was sitting at my desk stressing. It was actually really easy to get tickets, which was a nice change. Yay!

Homebake 2008 was my favourite festival last year. Mainly thanks to Pnau and Crowded House (and my mates). The picture above was from Pnau’s set which was crazy. One of the highlights was when Ladyhawk was hoisted up and flying across the stage.

You always get interesting characters at festivals. I think this guy tops the list. He starts off by getting half of his drink poured down his shirt, thanks to his good mate.

Then ends up rolling around for a good 5 minutes all tangled up with his arms and legs. Hilarious.

Oh how I miss festivals…
