Probably more to come!
I read that in a voice of a child that just received all of his Christmas gifts at once. It certainly seems that way for your mate. Glad you enjoyed your time there!! And thanks for the shout out!!

Sorry New York. But the beard is staying in Australia.

My Blip Moments
- 7bit hero nailing everything they did amazingly well
- Everybody dancing to Overlapping Spiral by Saitone while Bankai held a strobe light on his head
- Shattering someones glass by dancing too hard to "Shatter" by Monodeer
- Actually finally seeing Lazerbeat live and it being amazing
- Having Amanda Palmer's bandmates nerd out with me about tech stuff
- The Batsly Adams visuals to cTrix Horses remix (OMG)
- DJing for almost 4 hours with 10k at the afterparty
Such an amazing four days. Highlight for me was Trash80's set. I don't think I've danced so hard since.. since goth clubs in Perth!
Everyone was in top form though! Amazing!
Was so awesome meeting everyone (well, not EVERYONE, but a lot of people), apologies if I kinda spaced out and/or forgot anyone's names/etc, I was so overwhelmed by actually being social at a gig!
I can't believe how well I played at the pre-party, considering I had only been rehearsing for two days beforehand.. After only barely touching the guitar in the few months since the EB Expo last year.. Thanks to everyone who came along, it was awesome!
Post-party was great too, DJs in the beer garden and rockabilly/thrash/punk bands and a short burlesque show in the front room! The thrash band was amazing, Slayer levels of tightness!
.. probably shouldn't have had so much to drink though. I think the NES breathalizer inspired me.. I never did get a chance to challenge my original score!
Now, I sleep for many hours.
this festival and all of the surrounding events where 100% killer
