Well, I suppose it is about time that I get around to writing about my weekend. I had meant to do it earlier, but this week has been flat out and am only finally getting the chance to do it now.

First things first, the Blues and Roots festival was absolutely fantastic! I had an absolute ball, tho it was tiring, I would do it again tomorrow.

Having a media pass was pretty good. Didn't have to worry about getting a good spot in the crowd to be able to see as I was right at the front between the stage and the crowd, so i only had to fight for a spot with other photographers, which wasn't all that bad :) Plus we had our own little media area where we could sit down and chill which was great. Plus there were free drinks all day, both days, which most others took advantage of as most of it was alcohol.

So much to write about, so I think I will just put a list of highlights for the weekend.
- Ben Harper!!
- Met Missy Higgins. She even signed my bag.
- Finally saw Wolfmother perform live
- Met Angus and Julia Stone
- Enjoyed the back stage BBQ organised by Triple J
- Met Sid from The Vasco Era
- John Mayer = awesome
- Met Bob Evans

It was all just so good!

For anyone who is interested, there are a bunch of pics at Perthnorg which is who i was there shooting for, here.

I also found out during the week that my flickr site was linked to here at enjoyperth.

And there is also a right up of the weekend from Perthnorg for day 1 and day 2.

Well, its definitely confirmed now. I am shooting the West Coast Blues and Roots music festival this coming weekend.
I sooo cant wait!!
I get to go in for free, see bands I love and have wanted to see live for ages (Wolfmother, Gomez, Blue King Brown) and take photos of them, and done have to worry about being shoved and pushed and everything else that happens in the crowd as I will be between them and the stage. Talk about awesome!! :)
Going to be pretty full on, but will be great.

And tomorrow is GO3, so that would be interesting. I have managed to get in on fri so I dont have worry about thousands of 'normal' people running and being generally 'newbish'. Just trade and well behaved people :)

This past weekend has been a most awesome.

Went paintballing for a friends buck party.
Has been over 4 years since I last went paintballing but it was still as fun as I remembered. The group was about 26 strong so there were a fair few people which makes it all the better.
THe afternoon was split into around 8 different rounds ranging from capture the flag, trying to capture a fort and just trying to eliminate the the oposing team.
I didnt get hit as many times this time around, but I still walked away with a few good bruises. Makes it all seem worth while with you have something to show for it.

I also ended up installing a deck into my car which I have borrowed from Bart till I a new one and a sub which I bought Dec 03 and have never used. It is nice having a decent sounds system in my car once again.
I figure it will tide me over till I get my new car (hopefully early next year).

Looking forward to next weekend as it is Sports Fest.
