janestarzYesterday was fun, we packed bags, ate, and left for Lowlands around 19.00 hours. We ended up in big traffic near Biddinghuizen. Ofcourse, that was to be expected with Lowlands going on there. We left the car for what it was (and I already had to pee) and went with all our bags and food and vodka to stand in line.
Three hours later we had walked about 500 metres, got our bags squeezed (no sharp objects? Well, go on then!) and got wristbands: groovy pink with green/yellow. We hauled our too heavy bags to a camping and waited for Ron (who had carried the 20+ kilo tent) to finish building us a place to sleep.
It is a town, with 60.000 inhabitants. All these young at heart people live in tents, there are no 2+ story buildings. No-one has a job. Everybody is loud, drunk, stoned, or just plain annoying. Everyone likes music. There’s one supermarket, four coffeebars, a do-it-yourself-shop with tent-supplies, four policemen in one precinct. It is a heaven for irregularity, disorder, and public display of stupidity and genitals.
We’re going to have so much fun the coming three days.
Today I’m planning on seeing Flogging Molly, The Apers, Green Lizard, Jimmy Eat World, Black Rebel Motorcycle and Nickelback. In between I have some time to chill.
I also ran into Gea, my niece, at the toilets, handing out garbagebags. Nice to see her.
