Vendredi soir...
Le groupe "Darkroom"
Un homme 'patriotic' (avec son boxer shorts over top of his jeans!) et un autre guitarist de l'autre groupe (a droit) dans la grande tente apres...tout le monde a bu beaucoup et beaucoup d'alcool.
La foule etait 80% hommes, 20% filles, tout ivre.
Pas exactement 'fashions on the field' LOL (it is also Spring Racing carnival time in Melbourne, and I must say that the fashions - and there were many - at this event, ranging from the Hawaiian shirt brigade (there were a whole group of about 20 of them, united by alcohol, calling themselves a 'clan') to those with the AFL footie beanies, ou chapeaux d'Akubra and Drizabone coats, and jackets with lots of Grand Prix badges. (The trendy racing gear was worn by the sober daytime more serious visiteurs)
Je crois que ce photo dit l'histoire tres bien.... (this picture doesn't even need to paint a thousand words!) It also summarises very well exactly what was being drunk all evening...from all the cans on the ground, VB was No 1, followed by Jim Beam, then maybe UDL Vodka. No sign of Skyy Vodka, the sponsor!
(didn't take them long to make this mess!)
I have to say, considering how many hundred people were in this big marquee for our concert, they were amazingly well behaved under the circumstances (ie many being totally pissed pretty much continuously since their arrival on Thursday afternoon)
All I had to worry about were drunk people stepping on me because they were so drunk they were probably stepping on their own feet too, a few mini fire crackers going off in the Marquee and bikers with their headlights off doing loud burnouts outside, I was quite happy.
All in all, un tres bon Aussie weekend (heureusement je suis parti avant lea pluie sur Dimanche!)
