DrP's V Fest ticker:Comin Live from an Oxford Street Subway

[DrPolitik]

What's up gang?
OMG do I have a hell of a V Fest story/adventure odyessy, (nightmare??) to share with you all... :stunned:

unfortunately I can't type it all on here right now..i'm in Subway sandwich shop on Oxford Street internet cafe upstairs and it's a pound an hour ...and well...i'm tooooooo knackered to go into it right now...the short of it is that it's now 10:25 the morning after the fest and I have yet to sleep since I crawled away stunned and awestruck from the almighty Coldplay... :D

this story involves Victoria Station late night clubbers and tramps insanity, the serpentine, inept train drivers w/ a wickedly bizarre delivery on the p/a system....and it all starts w/ DrP being the only one in his section of the crowd who knew the words to Your World Turns Upside Down and even Poor Me! and i was right down front on the right side...DrP also got his paparazzi on, zoom lens style baby :cool: so i'll post some pics later on...stayed tuned people :D

later
the Doc
aka Greg :rolleyes:

[Sammie]

I wasnt far from the front :stunned:

[DrPolitik]

so sammie, help me over the pics disaster, how was V for ya?

Did you like me risk life and limb during the foo fighters insanity to get a good spot for CP :stunned:

at one point i only had 1 shoe :stunned:

[Sammie]

Yesh, during the foo fighters I was about 5 rows back dead in the centre...gahh...got tres squashed... :stunned: i had a crap view for coldplay, and only saw half of coldplays show cos i had to go home :stunned:

[DrPolitik]

The foos was MENTAL!!!!!!!! I nearly got sucked into that lunatic asylum that passes for a circle pit :stunned:

They RAWKED though :cool:

Aww shame you had to leave early...i had an excellent view , which you could have seen for yourself but oh well.... :/

anyways, my whole trip was like a surreal odysessy..i'll muster up the strength to exorcise the pic demons in a little while, it's quite an amusing little 36 hour sleepless jaunt i had to get back home :stunned:

[Sammie]

meh..I was at waterloo at 20 past 1 this morning lol...I missed my last train..I had to call my dad to come and get me...bah...it was freezing there too..there was no-one there :confused:

[DrPolitik]

heh. my story involves me sitting outside Victoria Station for 4 HOURS :stunned:

then i trapsed round London till 3pm the next day till my bus back here to Suffolk. my train from Chelmsford to London was an hour and a half late..something about something dodgy hanging from the signal wire..i dunno, the conductor was on crack by the sound of his unintentionally hilarious p/a banter: "Ladies and gentlemen, 2 trains have passed by" (i kid you not!) I had a random encounter with a pissed up tramp who first asked me what time it was...then what DAY it was :stunned: Outside Tower Records I had a lovely little chat w/ a woman who was clearly either a begger or just completely gone - she claimed to be 1 quarter Italian yet looked white as snow..then she said her daughter was half chinese..then she asked me for a pound, then she turned around to someone else and went through the exact same lines...LOOPY :stunned:....oh, and I think i saw a man dead in Leicester Square, i think it was from heat exhaustion, the paramedics couldnt revive him..at least I dont think they did, I was way to insomniafied at that point to think clearly....oh I took a nap on a park bench in Hyde Park by the Serpentine...ripped my shoe open during the foos and had to by a new pair later because it kept coming off..

Cp was the saving grace in all the madness
followed by the Foos & Damien Rice :cool:

[Dissolved Girl]

WOW Doc!!! :o :o

Sounds to me that you had a very... should I say... interesting time?

:lol: ;)

[Dissolved Girl]

:lol:

[DrPolitik]

yesss....tell me
why is it at very gig i go to, the line to push past ALWAYS starts directly behind me!!!?? NEVER FAILS...every single gig...I must have a sign on my back that says "Push Here: he'll move, what's he gonna do about it?? " :angry: :rolleyes:

AND...why do I always get stuck behind some guy with a great big FAT WATEERMELON head????!!!!! :lol:

[Dissolved Girl]

bwwwwwaaaaahhhh... :lol:

[fifi]

:lol: ...fat.......watermelon...head!!!!! :lol:
i get that too and it always seems like everyone else is on stilts :cry:
and when they do the pyramid things and stand on each others shoulders, they always fall on me!!!!!! :rolleyes: :/

[Dissolved Girl]

yeah.. being 5'2... always got someone taller in front of me. :rolleyes:

[fifi]

well i'm 5'9 and there is still ALWAYS someone taller infront it's a concert tradition!!!! :rolleyes: :o

[Dissolved Girl]

:lol: :lol:

[DrPolitik]

:D aww poor shorties..well i'm 5 "11 and it STILL happens to me...I see some 6 "8 tree in the crowd making his way forward and guess where he goes??!!!! GRRRRRRRR :angry: :stunned:

[oneulove]

What I hate is when there are taller people in front of you who won the tix or summat, so they're not even thrilled that it's Coldplay, they're just there cos they got free tix...They couldn't care less if it was Britney Spears.."O grave world with such people in it!" Now that' my sheer bad concert luck with Coldplay...but Chris bugged his eyes out at me once cos I was wearing a Make Trade Fair shirt (or at least I'd like to think it was me)!!! Ok so I'm a bit fanatical.

At anyrate I have apps to fill out and my story was proabably not half as exciting as your story Dr. P....So hurry up and get home (and some sleep)!!!!
