harvfestivus

australia is in the grip of the worst ever drought since last week
blah blah blah
at the meredith festival dust was served up on particles
it's all rather terrible
even fucking horrid little worm man has had to admit
fuck him
amidst all this devastation
arrives the harvest festival at red hill on the mornington peninsula
near the bleach
both kinds of bleach for that matter
near a sterling view
which somebody called murray named after a bit of edinburgh
a big posh glorious house with magazines
full o delightful munch
a marvellous selection of whines and beeyas
wouldnt be a lovely day to say its a lovely day?
a killer line-up
loadsa australian legends doing their thangs
Ron, Kim, Ed, black cab and sand pebbles
and the greatest of them all...
groovy, almost reasonable priced food
local beer from the local area
local wines from the local paper shop
very few yobs and stupid drunken kids trying to be big and clever
sounds superb innit?
but no...
big bad drought bogs off
and leaves punters in the rain
rain, more rain and them some rain
pisses down, hammers down
fear not, say the weather dudettes
it shall clear in the afternoon
but fucking no...
it shits it down, buckets down
clever organisers put up marquee
and move mobs into a shed
not quite the same, im sure you will agree
too little clothes
too bloody cold
hiding in a small black beast
break out for the ed
ed rocks and rocks
and then makes sure that everybody knows he agrees
then tech probs
and cranky folks
greatest band ever
play greatly
but the plebs are outta time
gotta rush home to shag the bunnies
tuck in the tickets
they were pretty damn great tho
the remaining hardcore stars
chant carry on chant and carry on
is the love felt?
i suspect so...
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
sorry about the big haired git
no, not that one
