Show 44: Boogie Fever

Yes thats right Boogie 5 has been and gone, sadly i didn't get to give it a full well desevered round up during the show until a rushed bit at the end, but let me run through some of the highlights and lowlights for y'all now....

firstly this is the new age of awesome festival honky goodness, limited ticket sales (750), controlled burning of bonfires, well intended yet sadly failed attempts to control in-approproate consumption of alcohol.... they had in the performing area a no byo policy which was strongly abided through the festivals first night until i saw others swigging from some fine alumuinium beverage holders and i thought damnright im getting in on that, so it was funny then how they would ask you to ditch any cans your carrying but not look in your eski as i blatantly walked through with with an aresenal of soycasion and mary mixers and cans of the good stuff, the smart choice was to pour your drinks into a cup as by day three security had had enough of the flagrant disregard for the festivals main money earner being the bars and would ask people to pour their drinks out. this i realised later was my being the creature of my own destruction by taking free reign of the multitude of alcoholic possibilities and marinating my liver in whatever poison i could fit into a plastic bottle is not the best of ideas, what followed was one of the worst recovery weeks of my life, but it was all amazing and special while there, just the ride home was a bit rough.... sorry for the spew callum. did i mention the festival has like a giant ski lodge/chalet, that everyone has access to! with a proper restuarant and bar and ballroom and massive balcony overlooking the stage area, and proper toilets with plumbing, which although appeared not to have been cleaned since festival opening were still awesome to have as a shitting sanctuary.
but there is still the shit annoying side of the festival that is always going to be prevelant to the eyes of those who have walked the hallowed halls of such grandiose loud nights at the 013 in tilburg for the might of roadburn and that is the wussy lameness of the crowd, the ditzy iPhone waving, intimidated by looking out of place to stand close to the stage nogging your head and tapping your foot partygoer, i tried to break the ice in this regard for many a troubadour of an act that wanted to set the rock free at this festival but it was without hope, apologies go out to matt sonic and the rope boys, even smoke machine, who out of frustration took the rock to the people during their Stevie Wright, Evie revue' but alas i have wandered into a mono conversational corner of which i am now lost and confused.
So in summary the festival was fantastic, the crowd coulda been a bit looser, the organizers could have let me smash some box aeroplane dudes in the head, the priced booze coulda been a little bit easier on the wallet, but this is what it should be about a good posse of bro's getting your shit together and going to a festival with only 700 others in presence for four days of partying, the weather was the best we could have hoped for , except at night it was fucking freezing, but seriously it kicked arse and hopefully next year we can get a few more of melbournes stoner doom bands there and make the music 100 times better and inevitably if we do that the crowd will be heaps better and then we are on our way to an amazing aussie roadburn which i would like to call rooburn.... maybe not, but it would be good eatin on that bonfire i reckon......

what else happenned, yeah clare came in to talk roadburn roundup, that was awesome and i cant do it justice, i suggest looking at her photos on facebook if you can hook her up through us, i reckon she would have a shit load, she does a lot of that kinda stuff.
