Good Vibrations Music Festival!!

Best. Day. Ever.

Okay that might be exaggerating, but it was up there on the list of awesome days! A few weeks ago we found out there was a big music festival going on here and that we had to go. The tickets were $150, which I thought was kinda steep for my budget so I put off buying them for awhile. Luckily I waited because it turns out the festival wasn't selling out as fast as they thought it would, so they made tickets half price, or people that had already purchased their tickets could bring someone with them for free. So I just buddied up with someone who had already bought their ticket. Worked out perfectly.

This decision to go to the festival turned out to be a bit of a confliction with work, my managers were pretty angry with me and the other half of the office that ditched out on work to go have fun. You see, this week at work was something called the "Quarterly Cup," where all the channels compete against each other in sales and there are all these money and booze incentives to win involved. Some people take it really seriously, but to be honest, I could care less. I felt slightly guilty for like 10 minutes but then I got over it and enjoyed the rest of my day :).

When we first got there we went to a tent called the Chinese Laundry where they had all the techno/DJs playing. We watched a DJ called Fake Blood, he was really good, then Rusko came on, who I had been anxiously anticipating to see! I'm going to be real with you, he was face melting, womp womp womp womp dub step, awesomeness! I wanted more than anything for my friends to be dancing around with me at the Rusko show. I probably sweat off my body weight yesterday. I don't think I stopped dancing the whole day. After Rusko we went and saw Nas and Damien Marley. This was one of my favorite shows too. They ended their show by playing Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved." Perfect way to end it.

Next we headed over to another tent to see Ludacris. Luuuudaaaa holla!!! This was a pretty fun one to see because he sang all the songs everyone knew--and everyone loves it when they feel like they know all the words to songs and can sing in unison about slapping hoes. We watched a few others then headed over to one of the manager's houses to hang out.

When we got there it turns out both my team managers were there, the ones who were mad at me, but luckily they got over it and we ended up having a good time together. There are a lot of team managers at this Truenergy place I work at and they are all friends with each other, so we walked over to another managers house only to discover they had gotten drunk and whipped out the ol' home tattoo kit on one another. I walked in to find Jordan passed out on the couch with, "I <3 TITS" tattooed on his shoulder. Yep. Wait for it.......

Yep it's real. And he informed Eliot that he needed to touch it up because it was fading yesterday. No shame! I just imagine him as a 40 year old dad grilling burgers out by the pool with his shirt off and his kids running up to ask him a question with his tattoo of I heart Tits for all to see. What a ladies man. He was going to add, "and asses" to it, but he passed out too early. A couple nights prior their french roommate got drunk off goon and Eliot tattooed "Goon Warrior" on her foot. I guess it's a good momento, right? Home tattoo kits are a bad idea, but these people are pure comedy.

One another note, I put in my six-days notice at work the other day, so Monday is my last day then I'm moving onto Brisbane. Three others from my group already moved on earlier in the week and the rest of us have decided it's time too. Two of the guys might have fruit picking jobs about an hour and a half outside of Brisbane and the other guy got a welding job. So I'm hoping there is plenty of work for me in Brisbane or near it at least. I'm sure there will be since that's where all the flooding happened.

Anyway, I gotta go get ready to work on my tan while I knock some doors :). See ya!

P.S. I'll add some videos of the good vibes festival soon, no time right now!
