I survived another Reading

What an awesome weekend, it started the Thursday and didn't stop till Monday morning.

Luckily I was one of the ones that booked my ticket last year for this years Reading, I feel for the people that got conned by buying from a fake site, I hope the people that took the money though go to hell, how dare they rip people off who have a love for music and fun.

It took me 4/5 hrs to get to Reading on Thursday, traffic jams on the M25 and M4 are not good and it was for trivial stuff, but oh well. After faffing about with my brother I finally managed to drop him and his mate off as well as the gf's brother and I made my way to my friends house, who wasn't there to meet me. I gave him a call and he said walk to the pub and I'll meet you there, result I thought, so I was sitting there and halfway through my first pint when his brother turns up, then D turns up and a couple of beers later we make our back to his to get ready to meet the rest of the Reading group, the group is Myself, Del (this is who I am staying with) Paul, Steve, Helli, Gen, Vicki (this was her 19th Reading festival).

We meet at the our yearly Reading meeting point, which is a nice little old pub that sells good beer and has a little beer patio for smoking. We sat outside and talked about Last years Reading and also what has happened in the past year, it was good catching up and the beer was flowing well, about 12am we were asked by the landlady to sit in doors as we were now having alockin. I remember going back to Steve's house and having a beer and a smoke, the next thing i am waking up on his sofa. This was fine as I knew how I got here but the problem that went through my head was was he close enough for me to walk back to del's?

My memory started coming back slowly and I remember that Steve was who we picked up before going to the pub and was only a 5 mins walk to Del's.

When i got to Del's he had left for the day to go to work and I found myself locked out, so I gave him a call and he told me he had left a key for me and in my morning state could I find the bloody thing no and it was staring me in the face, I knew this was going to be a good Reading. When I finally got in I went to bed to catch up on lost sleep. I woke to my phone ringing, it was Del, he called to tell me he had my ticket and that I would need to pick it up, I could have cried, I had no idea where to go or anything so I picked Styeve up and we made a 20-30 min trip to meet Del and pick my ticket up. What happened to my ticket you may be wondering, well I thought it was a good idea to leave mine and Del's ticket in his laptop so that I wouldn't lose it in the pub, but with Del not thinking properly in the morning he just took his laptop without looking, one of those things.

Once we droppped the car off me and Steve made our way tot he site and met up with the rest of the group and caught up with last nights topics and also my mission for my ticket in the morning. From here it gets very hazy for the rest of the three days, I do remember meeting up with some mates from work and also my brother a few times. A great time was had by all and also got the sunset of the weekend.
