Diary of T in The Park 2008 - Saturday Morning/Afternoon

By Lorraine Waddell on Jul 15, 08 11:41 AM in

Saturday morning started with a rumbling stomach at around 7.30am after eating very little the night before.

After have a rummage in my backpack I enjoyed a couple of cereal bars (a must for festivals - they're probably not healthy but their better than sweets and crisps!), vimto sweets, cola bottles and Space Raiders I get back to sleep.

Wake up again around 10.30-11am and decide it's time to try and surface.

While sitting in the collapsed gazebo I looked round and spotted friend's of my poorly boyfriend who was in bed ill at the time.

(Note for anyone who hasn't been to a festival - it is a strangely small world where, although you are with 80,000 plus people you still managed to run in to people you know! This happened several times over the weekend to me - rather spooky!)

Anyway after getting over the randomness of that I take a jaunt down to the burger van and pick up several cans of irn bru and a yummy bacon roll.

We managed to drag our sorry selves to the site for the start of day two however my pal had picked up a drink induced injury the previous night so we walked gingerly.

The sun was threatening to come out so we spent a while lazing about on the grass people watching. Always fun at festivals!

Spent a lot of time in the media village chatting to old chums and watching bands come and go including The Pigeon Detectives, The Law (check out the interview on this blog), Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong and Biffy Clyro.

I got to speak to Ben Johnston from Biffy Clyro and you can watch this now by logging onto www.kilmarnockstandard.co.uk.
