Future music

So off to my first festival in Sydney today should be good, here I come Future Music..at Randwick Racecourse. Woke up 7.30 and stayed in bed for abit, then eventually decided to service at about 8.30. As off for breakfast this morning with Bianca and Debbie at coffee club as thought best have a good meal to start the day off with. Decided to have my usual French toast as not had it for a while but unfortunately it was not as good as normal. We arranged to all meet at 1.30 at future music wasn't really sure what to wear tempted with my shorts and off course my havaianas. In the end that is what I choose to wear with a camisole vest as wanted to be comfy and take cardigan in case gets cold. I got the train to central and it seemed to be on a go slow when got their walked round corner and saw the long queue for the bus. But on a good note their was lots of buses coming and the queue moved quickly only took 15 minutes to get to front and bus was free. We arranged to meet at the entrance then realised that we were at different ones, I got in quite easily. But by the time I got Lou not in yet but the boys were already in but no idea where so decided to wait for Lou. As soon as I walked at 2ish, I could see Ellie Goulding playing very good listened for abit then went to see Rita Ora at other stage. By the time Lou got in was about 3 as she got behind a fight when walking in met her at the V tent. Lou hadn't heard from Dan but had texted him so decided to just go get a drink was a long queue so thought might aswell get two. We then wandered over to the Mazda stage as Lou remembered Dan wanted to see 'Fun' and bumped into Dan walking over to get drinks. He took us over to meet Matt and we stayed at the Mazda stage to watch a few acts and was very busy. We also found that when the lads came in Dan used the disabled card so got in a lot quicker, how funny when not disabled just injured..It was then time to go for more drinks and go to the toilet which were disgusting when you going was a small puddle. Matt offered to give me a piggy back over but managed to step over avoiding the puddle, but next I accepted as puddle bigger. We then went to the future music stage but not many acts wanted to see at 5ish so just sat down for abit and Dan had a little nap. At 6.15 we went to the warrior dance stage as boys wanted to see 'Boys Noize' is the stage name of a Berlin-based DJ. Throughout the day Matt kept finding things as found hat, wrist bands and glasses without lens, see pic of Lou with them on. It was then time for food which was a very long queue Matt went to get pizza both me and Lou not really hungry. Whilst waiting for Matt got to listen to Dizzee Rascal and Dan put me on his shoulders to see where Matt was in queue as taking forever but then wouldn't put me down. After got pizza was back to Mazda stage to go see Stone Roses who Lou really wanted and were fantastic worth the wait. After stone roses was to other stage to see prodigy who were late on but were brilliant considering don't like dance music. Dan and Lou left us to go see Bloc Party but I stayed with Matt to watch more Prodigy then after 'Firestarter' went to see Bloc Party at other stage, were good. But unfortunately we couldn't find the other two tried phoning but no answer so went to watch end of Prodigy. By time finished still hadn't found Dan and Lou so me and Matt went our separate ways at about 11ish and left was hoping to get bus back to central but sure a long queue. The organisers told us to go to bottom of road to get other bus waited a while but no luck so walked with two girls abit further on to other bus stop. But buses kept going past us and then another girl wanted to walk back to central so walked with her took nearly 40minutes. Just made the train with 5 minutes to spare by time got in was 1.30 had quick shower as feet filthy but I suppose that's what you get for wearing havaianas. Also realised had big blood blister on my big toe on my right foot must of happened when I tripped walking back. On hindsight instead of keeping stooping at bus stops I should of just walked straight back as was very tired by time got to bed. Overall the acts were good, was amazing to see the Stone Roses! Bloc party were awesome along with Prodigy, shame missed Psy, as thought might off been entertaining seeing 'Gangnam Style'. Future Music Festival delivered the goods! Would definitely go again! But just a shame was excessive queues, running out off some drinks early and Lou would say badly organised to get in and me out, needed more buses.
