they say to take a drinker cooler because at those prices you will be making your drinks last for a long time...


sleep......wishful thinking.

Normal prices for such events . I hope you havee a fantastic time like I did in Melbourne on Wednesday.
ENJOY!

catherine is still asleep. It is lovely morning.
Daybreak.

I am posting this link at the request of tatiana, who can't figure out how to copy and paste with her phone. It's about Bob and Elvis Costello arriving early at the Bluesfest and doing some soaking up of the atmosphere.

It is about 9 pm where Tats is, so I imagine Bob will be on soon, if not already.

She is having trouble logging on here (and at ER).

I just heard from Tats...she said Bob was brilliant She was near the front and has a video of Forever Young She cannot log in here for the time being...problems with her phone.

good morning campers.
It is 7am and the shuttle bus connection to your home coach will not meet each other as you planned. You now have to get a coach home 6 hours later than you planned. You will have to habg around byron bay for hours and you cant leave there until 10am so no breakfast until then because you are not allowed back into the festival. One day pass. Yesterday. You can stay in the camping grounds which is cool because your fellow camper is still asleep. So just wait and chat with the oher campers who are stuck because of the lack of shutle buses.

I am babbling. I am hungry.
And bob was fanastic.
He sang like he was enjoying himself. He is going to be touring unil he dies. He really had fun. You could hear it in his voice.

I didn.t get to the ocean for a swim but we followed the coastline in the buses for miles. Beautiful part of australliia.

My internet reeception has been very dodgy.

thanks to tigerliily for sending my love to everone.

I took a video clip of him singing forever young i will try to post it when i get home.

Fantastic.

And it is raining again but i am under a giant awning. Catherine is still asleep.

Cheers from byron bay.


Hello sj and precent.

Hello woo.

trying to get into atu last night and during the early am.
I could get to the front page but no furthher.
It was like knocking on the door but everyone was asleep and the key was in your other handbag.


It is pouring rain and my feet are cold

i went almost to the stage.
I followed a really tall fellow into the mosh pit area and he barrelled through so i stayed with him. He kept looking at me but i just smiled.
I wish i could have been closer but it was very crowded.
I was about 30 feet from him at one time though. It was excellant.


Now the sun is out and it is raining.

So great to see you back here Tatiana

And that sucks about the bus.....

But you got to see Bob!! You were 30 feet from him!!
