Well where do I start? Last night was fucking AMAZING. Me and Seb set off about 12.30 and we got there about 2.30 and we started drinking in the car til about 6pm when we then set off to go down to the Winter Gardens cause the only band we really wanted to see was The Adicts.
Anyways we were chilling out for a bit getting slowly wasted and I went across the road for a slash (punk rock style)- and saw this couple who we had seen when we first got there, old punks they were, called Susie (see picture) and Phil. They were so nice and they had been there for the whole weekend and slept in the car the previous two nights. They were off to see The Damned but I convinced them to go see The Adicts instead so they did as they had another opportunity to go see The Damned in their hometown in October. So we were chilling, getting drunk, had the music on full belt, then when we'd drank all we could at that point we set off down to the winter gardens and chilled outside for a bit where this young punk Vanian, who'd been named after the lead singer of The Damned asked us for some uppers. (Chance would be a fine thing). We then went inside where this guy looked shocked came running up to me and hugged me, I was like do I know you? And he proceeded stroking my face telling me how beautiful I was and his mate had to drag him off looking at Seb worried. Okk! I had arranged to meet Pete at the merchandise stall and look for a big guy called Bison, well it took me an hour to find Bison and then Pete wasn't about so I told Bison to tell him I had gone to the other room where we looked for him for a while but then we went and sat in The Empress room. We then went back for a wander and I see this 5 FT 7-8 guy with blonde hair point at me and smile and I realised it was Pete hehe. We chatted and had a pic taken and he said he was nervous and then he had to go get changed, but that afterwards there would be a gap in the corner and we could go backstage. ^.^ So then I think we listened to a bit of the UK. Subs in the arena stage but in the midst of it all me and Seb were bored so we decided to have a fight. We proper went for it and he slammed me straight on my back knocking my head on the ground (stone floor)- You would have thought someone would have tried to split us up but we had a total audience and these guys were going "Punch her head in!" and "Knock her the fuck out!" Oh nice, hahaha. We got such an audience we made mates with Andrew (see picture) and his mates and they gave us some betty so we would have another fight later, lol. Then I went off to the toilets but all was a bit hazy and I tripped up over the carpet in the Empress room, thought it was a weird bump when I realised I'd gone and kicked someone clean in the fucking head with my New Rocks on! The stupid twat was just laying there so it serves him right! At this point Seb was befriending Joe (See pic). We bumped into Susie and Phil again and I went to the toilets to see if I could see owt cool to nick I found a pack of cigs and some empty rizlas (wow!) Me and Seb decided to have another fight while we were waiting for The Adicts to come on but this time when he jumped on me I moved out the way and he cracked his face straight on the ground and looks like he has broken his nose again LOL. He also pushed me on my back and my cocex or however, you spell it WELL hurt. We also got a guy saying "kill her!" nice to know the punk generation believe in equal rights and all that, haha. I had another guy come and stoke my face and tell me how gorgeous I was in the midst of a convo with Seb, what the fuck are people on in Blackpool =| ?? Then it was time for The Adicts! This point my camera was fucking up, so I gave it up as a bad job, and only managed to take one pic of the band... Well The Adicts totally blew me away and played all the songs I wanted them to like "Joker in the Pack", "How Sad", "Bad Boy", "Chinese Takeaway", "Ode To Joy", "Johnny Was A Soldier", "Tango", "Numbers" and "Straightjacket". They played loads more I was so impressed. Munky threw out playing cards during "Joker in the Pack" and was dressed really funky. They also threw out glitter, balls, and his top when he got hot! I was so fucked afterwards because I was fucking jumping around like fuck, these two prissy goth gals behind me kept bitching about me banging into them and I thought you're not at a fucking opera loves! After The Adicts which WERE INCREDIBLE we went backstage and I saw Munkey and gave him a hug and told him he was amazing (fucking no pic cause camera was dead)- and that we would come and see him again sometime. He was so humble and sweet. I waited for Pete for a bit and then he came out the dressing room and we chatted about the gig and other bits and then we went back in the dressing room and saw the whole band. There was just the band, some roadies and me and Seb in there but they were really cool about it. We hung out in there for a bit and Pete went to get some fresh air, we came out to find Pete but we couldn't find him so we decided to head back to the car cause we were fucked. So we set off back and I wanted a chip butty so we went and got some food and sat with some punks for a while. This Polish guy came up to the guy who was with us and started on him asking him if he had a prob with Polish people and all this shit and the punk just looked straight at him and said "I'm half Polish", he didn't know what to do then! We headed back to the car after a while but not before I could get Seb away from wanting to invite everyone back to the car for a chat, and we got back to the car and fell asleep and woke up a few hours later to the car shaking so we woke up and these two drunken cunts (was about 6am), had tried to shake the car so we woke up and realised we had no petrol to get back so we sat for fucking ages and Seb thought fuck it we will try and set off, so he moved the car and there was this rattling noise and the two cunts had broke the exhaust. This punk guy walked past us (called Al), and he was a mechanic so he fixed it for us and then he lent us a tenner so we could get back and we are gunna go stay with him when we go to London. J We set off and got back about 10 and slept til about 3 and then Seb dropped me off back and here I am writing this SHATTERED but had an awesome night seeing my favourite band play and hanging out with them backstage ^.^ ~Mia |
