It never ceases to surprise me how much of an impact Roskilde can have on people. Some go only to one or none at all; while others come back year after year after year. They happily spend a week every year being too dirty, too hot, too cold, too wet, too drunk, too mentally and emotionally bombarded.
It never fails that I have one moment during every festival where I tell myself that this year will be the last time. I'm starting my second decade of Roskilde dedication. And I probably won't stop any time soon despite the fact that I'm becoming one of the old ones, heh.
This year's drama was that I got kicked out of the tent I was staying in by the tent's owner's very jealoux girlfriend (it was extremely unpleasant) and after trying to get a hold of various people for four hours where I only got sorely disappointed ... I gave in to despair and called Martin for help so I could dump my things in his tent.
-Thursday's highlight was Social Distortion, with Rumpistol as a close second.
-Friday's high point was Faith No More; but I have to say that it would probably have been Nine Inch Nails if it wasn't for the fact that by the time they finally came on I was so exhausted that I was falling asleep on my feet and I only managed to stay for half an hour.
-Saturday's sweet spot wasn't actually music. I mean Gogol Bordello was a blast as always, but the day was saved by two movies: Pussy Soup and Dead Snow. The first one was a japanese movie about a stuffed animal cat how made ramen nudles (you heard me). The second one was a norwegian movie about 6 friends who have gone to an out-of-the-way ski cabin to celebrate their easter holiday ... and then ENTER NAZI ZOMBIES! WOO HOO! And the shouts from the audience only made the experience better ^^
-Sunday's best feature was Madness. Talk about a childhood funride! And Coldplay was a brilliant way of closing the festival.
I got a lift back to Copenhagen in the middle of the night and slept on Martin's sofa.
We slept late and come afternoon I left for my friend Line's place.
I said goodbye to the love of my life.
Now hoping for the hurting to end ...

Cliché as it may be; all things come to an end and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Hang in there friend.
