Reading - Saturday







Saturday had a few more bands i wanted to watch. We got up early, a little hungover, to watch Paramore! We wanted to be right near the front. Didn't realise how far away the stage was from the Crowd. I got a few ok pictures for a cam with no zoom.









After Paramore, we went to the Guest area, and met up with a bunch of really cool guys, Matt, Dave and Tim, lovely americans. They got us crazy sunhats (which without sunstoke would have been definate)





Then it was time for The Shins, i love them anyway but they were awesome. I was wearing my 'It's the shins fault' t-shirt. It got really really hot.





Before long, it was time for Dinosaur Junior, who i was very excited about seeing. The Strangest thing happened. The two people infront of me were taking pictures of themselves in the D.J crowd, i helpped them and then looked at them again, and we all realised I'd met them before, at Download festival on the Saturday watching My Vitriol, who were on at the exact same time as Dinosaur Junior were at Reading. Small world!!


Then there was Tinned Mackral and cobs (or baps/rolls/buns/batches depending on where you live) mm tastey! After fish, there was FIRE! People were getting ready for Red Hot Chili Peppers, unfortunately they were not too hot .. lots of mistiming and crazy fuck-ups, Anthony jumping on Johns pedal board, and falling over the mic stand. Everyone has a bad day at work. We just drank more beers.
