...after waking up on saturday morning after the Aphex Twin night(the man is a genius, if you get a chance, go and listen to him play), my head was in bits (blame it on the JD) but i recovered slightly to prepare myself for what was going to be an exciting day.
we packed ourselves into the back of the van which was previously fitted with duvets, sleeping bags and other comfy stuff at 7 oclock and went to sleep again. it was raining when the doors to the van opened and thats when the session started. a massive amount of people could be seen going into slane in the pouring rain whilst we were in cover
(nice one justin) when the skies cleared we made ourselves leave the comforts of the van and finally we were going to Slane... we got to the gates where i was refused to the entrance cause of my stub-less ticket (damn thing came apart and i lost the smaller piece of the ticket 
), after sweet talking to the guy with the earpiece and from some help of the fink, we entered the already packed venue. we were told that we missed the first band of the day, Relish. a smile came to my face again.
on the day i made a rule that i wont touch alcohol at all cause of the bad toilet situation. it was a good decision. we hardly noticed JJ72 and awaited what was a brilliant set from Coldplay, they were relaxed and the crowds enjoyed their musical presence. few spliffs later and the band that we were all waiting for climbed the stage. RHCP's first tune "around the world" got the crowd really going and so did the rest. by that point i was excited like a rabbit in heat and no1 could stop that feeling... bliss. helicopter thing was a breath of fresh air to the music of "higher ground". flea made some clever remarks about a single guy standing on the side of the hill that made the entire 80,000 people wave to the lone figure on the hill. a truly epic band when put on a stage. i got my moneys worth from the purchase of the ticket.
U2 came on stage at exactly 8:30pm and kicked things of nicely with "elevation" followed by "beautiful day" (so true). i cant say anything else but that they are the greatest band in the world.
the show was over and there was only one thing left to do, go home. are you taking the píss or what? of course not, the crowd movement was a bítch and i couldnt even think what was happening on the roads. we found the van exactly where we left it, in a field, and got another session going. after an hour, my tired head wouldnt allow me more abuse so i curled up in the van and went to sleep only to wake up at 6 oclock in the morning when the traffic cleared. i closed my eyes again and went to sleep with memories of an amazing day...

Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.0 -
