TAF10 Rewind

So its been a drought stricken summer here in WA and a drought stricken blog (from me) to boot. Nothing huge to report, everything is moving forward, sun goes up sun goes down, still breathing in and out so cant complain too much.

I think my last real posting was pre-TAF so here's a run down for those that didn't make it. In true festival style the 2 days were completely different to each other! Saturday was huge, both musically and alcoholically with the Ah Yeah brewery serving up some splendid brews to hydrate the team. The stereo was gradually cranked during the day as our intoxication escalated and by the time Muse headlined, I'm glad we warned the neighbours!

All tents were erected well before dark and I'm happy to report they all survived the night. The food was spectacular with marinated everything served up along with an abundance of wicked salads, sauces and the like. If anyone was still hungry or thirsty by the end they REALLY must have had their eyes closed!

Back to my point on 'true festival style' it seems everyone wrote themselves off on Day 1 and Ess-Tee ruggled on day 2: Day 1 Attendance - 32, Day 2 - 10! Sunday was a great chillout day with the beats being delivered at a more hangover suitable volume level and newspapers, books, card games were in full swing. It was great just to kick back and do absolutely nothing and even though it was in the backyard it really felt like a holiday.

It has definitely been cemented into the annual calender with the following differences for next year:

1. Stubbie Coolers
2. Change the date so people can potentially go to BDO and TAF (and it doesn't conflict with Patricks Birthday!)
3. Lose the 'official' competition references to BDO apart from the lineup of course.
4. Pace ourselves!

I really had an absolute ball and from what I heard so did everyone else so can't wait for TAF11.
