Fact-tastic

So this is going to be a long one; so grab your self some popcorn or something. My 7 and a bit day stay in Mount Barker was wonderful. At first i was a bit hesitant because i would be staying in a house where i only knew one person. But the Lawson family was beyond nice. The temperature was awesome. It wasn't ice cold even though it hit the 30ths but it's when you don't have to deal with Queensland's humidity it just becomes so perfect. There's nothing more wonderful then sleeping with a doona. Everyones houses were huge in South Australia, non of the roads were straight, they all had these beautifully landscaped backyards. South Australia had like minimum traffic lights which freaked me out a little, i don't think i could drive in those conditions. Also everyone was a bit more green there, South Australia has implemented a plastic bag tax, you wouldn't believe how many people i saw with those green bags.

We went to the Garden of Unhealthy delight which was like the prelude to the fringe festival. I wish i could've planned my stay a bit better that way i would've gotten to see Tom Gleeson and Hannah Gadsby. I could've also hit the South Australian Soundwave but oh well. I met a lot of people, made a few friends, had the most horrid experience on public transport, went clubbing in Adelaide and rode on bumper cars. I was sad to go. Though i am most deffently going back.

Soundwave.
Another thing i didn't initially want to go to. I was to tired and wasn't expecting the day to turn out as well as i wanted. I saw about 10 bands. I'll never go into another Paramore mosh pit, i couldn't even focus on the performance because of the amount of drug infused bogans, overzealous fat chicks and gay emo kids fighting around me. All Time Low was just amazing, moshed like a 14 year old girl on steroids, up beat lyrics and song's that i just sing a home. Though You me at six took the cake. They've been my favourite band for a while now and i was kinda getting pissed off that no one knew them. Randoms kept on asking me who i was there to see and they were like oh, i was like so what if I'm not here for fucking Trivium. Most pit was kinda eh, too many fuckers who didn't even know the lyrics around me, i really wanted to get up to the front. Though when Save it for the Bedroom came on, everyone went crazy and that was most likely the best song i heard there all day. I got to meet them, i waited in line for like a hour and ended up getting the second last ticket. They signed my Soundwave ticket and that's now in my room awaiting lamination. I think the most exciting part of the day was having a conversation with Max and his really really British accent. I also discovered a new song that wasn't in the albums i downloaded and it's pretty fucking amazing.
