Bank Holiday weekend, Hamworthy, Poole 03.04.2015
I decided that instead of my carpet, I'd pull out the tissue that acts as a cover in the shoe box and use that. I just found out the the baggage handlers are going on strike, for sure, on the weekend I leave for NJ. Brilliant. Not that I had to get there 3 hours early when they weren't striking, I wonder what hell I am going to encounter now. Great. I heard that it was only 300 out of the X amount of handlers they have stationed at Manchester, but who knows. I'll wait for real numbers and freak out then. Maybe. I was already planning for halving my clothes and such into my two cases, so I just hope they both don't get lost. I should take some fresh in my hand luggage? Good Idea.
#25: New York City. You don't even know how long I spent hunting these kicks down one summer. I was at the end of my tether and then my Dad found me a pair in a store in my town. I was jumping for joy. I spent in excess of six months waiting to purchase these. They are awesome. Made for the 35th Anniversary of the Adidas Superstar, I just had to snap them up, original and all. They're mega white with a few denim stains as the years have passed. I haven't worn them in ages actually. I put the orange laces in and now they look a bit whacky. Original Superstar
This weekend is the new Bournemouth Wheels Festival.. not sure if I'll make it down there, but just to set the scene..props outside the mobile bar in the square (it looks like the same bar they use for the air festival and for the Christmas market, but with motor themed props this time!)

My friend, Robin Anstealin securted two Guest Passes for the 2015 Reading Festival...and he kindly invited me to join him! That gave us full weekend admission to the festival, and access to the private R&R zone adjacent to "backstage" of the main arena. By festival standards that meant nirvana - easy access, no beer queues, exotic drinks and cocktails, private dance areas, real food, tables and chairs, no ablution queues, real (sanitary) toilets, no mud, clean/odourless people. Bliss! We checked into an out-of-town Holiday Inn late on the evening of Friday, August 28 and eventually made it to the festival in time to see Limp Bizkit and the tail end of Mumford & Sons. We returned on Friday morning, sadly missing Baby Metal's set, but catching Fidlar, Marmozets, Modestep, Pierce the Veil, Alexisonfire, Royal Blood, Bring Me The Horizon and, the headline act, Metallica. After a great (relatively rain-free) two days, and we made our way back home in the early hours of Sunday, August 30. With no wives and children around, we took the opportunity to brave the fringes of the mosh-pit at the front of the main stage, and here are some of the images I captured.
West Yorkshire alt-rockers Marmozets were probably my discovery of the weekend. A slightly chaotic and energetic performance by the two sets of young siblings, and I look forward to getting their first album, "The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets".
