So what the hell?

March 8th, 2008 by goatlady

WOA 2008

Set the (prob­a­ble) scene: Kay and Dave’s lounge room. Some­time in 2007. Prob­a­bly a week­end, def­i­nitely late at night. Present: Dave, Kay, Al, Gem, pos­si­bly also Ben and Deb. Large vol­umes of alco­hol have been con­sumed. The most excel­lent doc­u­men­tary “Metal: a Headbanger’s Jour­ney” is in the DVD player.

Dave comes up with a sug­ges­tion: we should all go to Wacken Open Air, the largest metal fes­ti­val in Europe. The idea is met with rowdy cheers, fuck-yeahs and most prob­a­bly toasts (my exact mem­o­ries of the occa­sion are under­stand­ably fuzzy).

Fast for­ward to New Year’s Eve, to a very sim­i­lar kind of scene. Dave remem­bers his bril­liant idea, so we hop onto the WOA web site and buy tick­ets. Now there’s no turn­ing back: Dave, Kay and Al are going to Wacken.

And this is where we’re going to talk about it.

    Yay, first com­ment :p

    I’m jeal­ous… mainly cos I just love fes­ti­vals I think… (I’m not ready to admit turn­ing into a met­al­head just yet…)

    Look­ing good, and good luck with the prepa­ra­tions, all of you. It’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it.
