My last day in Sydney :(

It was a hard concept to grasp that I would be leaving Sydney. On some level I was ready to go and explore more of the world... but it was very difficult to do so. I had met so many great people there and Indy's really became my home- there was a lot of comfort there... though if you saw the place you would definitely wonder how... but it was the people- no doubt.
Anyhow... I really shouldn't have a sad face up in the title of this blog. I had an amazing last day. We went to V Fest... a music festival put on my Virgin.
My boys Jay, Snickers, Mike, Marty, Chris and Will came as well as my girl Kat. It was an unbelievable day... full of sunshine, massive crowds, Jager bombs (too many) and great music. I am quite impressed with how many acts we got to see. There were three stages, we only made it to two... but we saw all the bands we originally planned to and some more!
The day started in the V tent... listening to some beats and warming up with some beer. We were all together and loving being in the moment. It was a red tent with cool lights and blow up chairs. There were well dressed hipster-esque locals and little tweens bopping about. It was an interesting mix- but none the less a great DJ was on.
I should say the day first started at the Jager tent... two bombs each to start... then the tent.
Before the first band that we wanted to see came on, another bomb, then it was time for Phoenix- a french band... check them out really great!
Next was a surprise act... have never heard of them... Nouvelle Vague... AWESOME! I think they might be one of my fave acts of the day... two lead female singers... and one played the Kazoo... how can you not love that?!
We next saw NY Dolls... a lot of fun... there were some die hard fans and it was really cool to see them get into it... it made it all the better.
Gnarls Barkley- very commercial... but WOW... amazing performer... the violinists were amazing and made me think of Karen... a huge crowd was around for him... and the energy was amazing and built up for the next act on this stage...
Before that we hit up a few songs from Jarvis Cocker... but this was inline at the Jager tent again. It was cool to hear some of his act.
Groove Armada... soooooo much fun... probably the most energetic time for us of the day... sadly this is where most of us split up.. but it was so hard for all of us to stick together... and I am impressed we did so for that long! Snickers, Kat, Will and I ended up spending the rest of the evening together. But I must say this act kicked ass!
Again on line at the Jager tent... we caught some of Beck...
Next was about a half hour of the Pet Shop Boys... So much fun! Incredible performance... I really must say.
And the highlight of the night... The Pixies... all I can say is awesome.
At the end of the night it was chaos getting out. We were cold... on a sugar low from all of the red bull and lack of eating (oops, we forgot to eat ALL DAY)... we felt like we were coming down from drugs... it was awful... we ended up having to walk in the cold rain to find food then a cab. It did suit my mood at that point though... I had one of the best days of my life in Sydney... where I had some of the most incredible 8 weeks of my life... and it was coming to and end in a few hours...
I will never forget my time in Sydney...
