Been meaning to post this since sunday but haven't the energy or patience. Just so fucking worn out from the weekend. Started off on friday, roadtrip down miri straight after work with Arif behind the wheel, me, Adi & Z in the back.
Sorted out the accomodations on arrival before rushing off to the festival. 8 bands from US, Europe, Australasia, Caribbean and Asia played over a two night duration on two separate stages in the Pavilion, ParkCity Everly Hotel.

Projectors here & there for the less mobile
Sit wherever you please

Did a hell lot of running around & drinking which resulted in an overexhausted state by the end of the first night. I witnessed 2 fucking excellent bands, Lluis Coloma from Spain (video 1, video 2) & The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from New Orleans (video 1).

It was hard getting up the next day but somehow my biological clock got me up & about before any of the others did. I caught Arif "doing his thang" in the subconcious.
1 pm, seriously not getting up
Spent the whole day roaming around parkson & lost some crappy bet over bowling with Z. After dropping off Adi at the festival by 8, the rest of us made it to dinner. The cafe was packed with "big ass lobsters" and "weird shell fish" in tanks. We left for some place called submarine for a few beers after dinner. They've got some preety odd names for the local shops.
On the verge of passing out @ submarine
Me & Z managed to catch the last performance at the festival while looking for Adi. After the festival, we left for CB. Had a few jugs of liquor & mingled a little before leaving for the hilltop. Great view, just too bad we were all too "wasted" to enjoy it.
Surviving @ CB
Things were slower the next day, tried laying off the booze & ran some errands. Came up with a couple of "stuff to do" in boulevard. Spent a couple of hours down the presumed overcrowded beach before heading home. Otw back, came across some "hostile fire" & a "spontaneous sax player". Odd combination not by choice.
Tripping nuts @ the beach
Damn tired
The closer i got home the more i craved for my bed & mami. All in all gud trip. Good news is how the festival's an annual event. That should be interesting.
