My sister's partner Rio has been performing at the Big Day Out as it travels around New Zealand and Australia and last Friday they played in Adelaide. We caught up with him the night before after we finally tracked him down at the hotel (Hunuki? wha??) and he was able to get us some tickets to the show.
I straight up told my team leader that I had got some tickets to the BDO and he told me "looks like you're gonna be sick this afternoon then" and helped me construct my ruse. A couple hours later and we were watching Scribe (and giving it up for Rio, as requested) in the 35+ degree heat.
We managed to catch up with Rio at the Luciano show. Michelle seemed to enjoy it!
We had guest passes, which allowed us to access the special Guest Lounge (after a bit of trekking around to get the right wrist band) which meant we had clean toilets with no queues! There was also free water, which was a godsend. The regular vendors were selling it at $4 a bottle!
We got to see Scribe, My Chemical Romance, King Kapisi, The Killers, The Streets, Tool, Violent Femmes and a lot more I guess...
The fun didn't end there though! Rio managed to get us into the after party, so we got to hang out with all the stars (really we just hung out with Scribe and his group, but it sounds cool!).
Rio was a bit down cos Kristy couldn't be there...
But we cheered him up! They are looking to come over to Australia again soon and hopefully can make it to Adelaide too. Hopefully? I mean definitely!
What a cool day and night! It was definitely a bonus to catch up with Rio (other stars be damned!) and I can't wait til Kristy and Rio can come back and we can show off all the attractions of Adelaide!
