We had a mix up in booking our hotel in Benicassim but rathewr luckily we sold our tickets for the festival, spent a week living it up in Valencia and bumped into Weller and Steve Craddock in a bar there and later met Pete Doherty in the airport. Can’t help feeling fortunate that I missed the bad weather and still got to meet Paul Weller! May well be there next year though!

I have mixed feelings about Benicassim. First the bad stuff; getting ripped by the FIB bus at the airport (£30) when if I crashed at the airport until the morning, I could have got a 5 Euro train to the festival. No water allowed into the gig area from outside, no soap in the toilets, overpriced everything. Also, if you could not get shelter between 8-5 pm outside of your tent you boiled alive. They need to allocate more toilets and more sites for camping.
The good stuff; music, raving.
Conclusion: to go again but not stay at the campsite but next stage up, an hostel! Make my own route there even if it means ruffin it at the airport.

We had a bit of a nightmare it being our first festival.. this is our theme tune to the expereince that was Beni 09

At first i was afraid i wuz petrified,kep thinking i cud nevr live on this camping site
so i got drunk an stoned an drunk,i got out of it on EEEEEZ
Then it didn seem so bad,apart from the fukn burning trees

O ile survive, i will survive as long as i have my vodka i know ile stay alive
Ile survive the burning bushes
Ile survive the hurracanes
As long as i know ime outa my fukn bloody braines
o ile survive

Now here we go,fukn trekn miles again
running,ducking,climbing from this fukn stupid huricane
Ther goes our shoes,there goes our tent
Every fukn pole is totaly fukn bent
But ile survive,I WILL SURVIVE

Good Eh??
