Beach Bum Festival, Jesolo, Italy

ME BIRTHDAY
Got up still pissed,being a major part of drinking 2 bottles of Vodka and various european beers.

Bugger,It's my birthday today,stuck on a bus,very hot,on our way to the "Beach Bum" festival near Venice.

Shit, stuff coming back to me now about last night, something to do with Gary's arse and various other dodgy scenarios, I shall try and forget about all of that!!

Anyway, breakfast consisted of a 1 Litre can of beer thrust in front of me by Des (which was nice!) We had two drivers from London to Venice but had to drop off the 2nd driver at Venice airport where we bumped into the Joe Strummer lot who had played at the festival the day before. All in jovial mood considering they had a bit of a dismal gig the night before as they had hired in a lot of their equipment and didnt really get on with it, and not much of a crowd to boot! Pablo their percussionist turned up spraying water at Des which relieved the boredom for a while.

Turned up at the festival after traveling for about 26Hrs, set up, did gig, went allright, packed away, and started realising I had been bitten to fu*k by mozzies, along with Gor and Des... SMART!!!

Kicked around the festival for a few hours, drank and ate poor festival food being a , pain in the arse, veggie SICK OF CHEESE AND BREAD!

Watched Des and Gary get more tattoos on there necks, great.
Milky and Happy Happy Joy Joy had been drinking lots of fine wines and eating smoked salmon which tipped Milky over the edge, by the end of the evening Des had to put him to bed half clothed and babbling something about frequencies and singing West Side Story's songs, mainly a song called "Maria" ???

Didn't see much of Abbiss all day until the end of the night when I saw him in a tent laid on a couch with his legs in stirrups having something pierced. (don't even want to go there!)

All in all quite an interesting birthday C Yer

Beeves
