Hurricane, Literally (Almost)

Sun 25 Jun

I wasn't into any of the music on the final day, but I headed along to:

+ The Gossip
+ Pretty Girls Make Graves
+ Eagles of Death Metal
+ Mad Caddies
+ Archive

The first two bands above, and Archive we all very impressive. The girl from The Gossip is a big girl, but she sure can move it. Fasntastic voice too.

Before we saw Archive, Aaron and I watched the football match between England and Ecuador (1-0). Surprising number of Brits.

At 8:30 we packed up everything, but as we had too much to take in one go, Aaron and Alessa went ahead with the trolley (20 minute was to the car). As Marielle, Yonca and I finished the rest off, the sky turned dark. Within 5 minutes we witnessed the most intense lightning storm. Not just in one part of the sky, but surrounding us. We knew the rain wasn't far away. Just as Aaron got back the skies opened and the heaviest rain I have been in. Marielle and I had our arms full, the rain, the wind, the lightning, the people running around screaming, the people rushing back to their tents to baton down the hatches, the y-front wearing man screaming 'feel the power of the earth' all made for one hell of an experience.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane.

The 4 hour plus drive home was wet and the lightning followed us for about 3 hours. But once we got home we got ourselves dry and got ourselves some sleepies.
