When we stood in line to get the tickets for EDGEFEST it felt like forever til we actually went. Now, I can't believe it's fuckin over! EDGEFEST kicked some royal ass. Five of us went, after weeks of talkin about it we all streaked our hair blue and pink for the day and got driven (next year, craig can drive :) ) to Barrie. When we got near Molson Park the car just stopped moving the traffic jam was so fuckin bad. So we got out of the car and walked past all the foolz waiting in theirs. When we got to the park it looked like the gate was about 30 minutes away, there were so many fuckin people. 30 min?!!?!? shit, it took over 2 hours and three times when we thought that we had gotten to the right gate (the first one was for wheelchairs, the second for media and the third the entrance to the fourth) before we got searched for bottles (this prevented drinking but didn't do shit for all the spliffs lit up in the park, ha ha ha) and our tickets were finally ripped in half.

We were all so excited by the time we actually got into the park, there were two stages and 35,000 people wondering around the grounds, most had funky ass hair (red, green, spiked etc) and there were enough hot guys in baggy ass pants walkin around (woohoo!). We saw FOO FIGHTERS, SLOAN, MOIST, CREED, TEA PARTY and GREEN DAY!

It was amazing, I'd never been to a concert before (deprived lil child aren't I?), so it kicked ass to hear all the songs I'd heard on the radio LIVE! SLOAN kicked it with that song that was on the top last year Everything You've Done Wrong and their new hit Money City Maniacs. Foo Fighters were just kickin and Moist rocked it with their more mellow hits Tangerine, Leave it Alone (picture the nasal voice impression of last year, ha ha) and Resurrection!

The crowd went fuckin wild for GREENDAY!! We got ourselves into the middle of the mosh pit, before Green Day hit the stage everything was mostly calm but when they started their set with Nice Guys Finish Last everyone went fuckin wild!!! Someone's elbow got smashed into Craig's head which musta sucked :( Sarah and I were going CRAZY! Green Day definately had the most exciting show of the day! They played my favs The Grouch, Basketcase and funky ass song King For A Day! Billy Joe was crazy, strippin into his leopard print BRIEFS and stormin the stage. He got a green haired punk to get his ass on stage and play the guitar with them and they torched the drum when the show was over. Green Day made their last explosion with the more mellow "Good Riddance"! I so wanted to body surf but Liane pointed out that people feel you up when you do that and everyone I saw that did it got dropped and got stomped on, oh well, I think I'll risk it next time!

The bad things about EDGEFEST were few but I wish I didn 't have to go with a guy that I didn't really like*, I didn't really like gettin hit in the back of the head with a flying pop bottle (even though they looked fuckin cool flying through the air), and I hated waiting in a long line to use the rancid port-o-potty (eeww)

Everything was so much better after it got dark, the Tea Party closed the show starting at 10. They started off with Temptation and then got into RELEASE! This was one of the best moments of EDGEFEST! I love that song man, everyone lit their lighters and the whole park had this magic feel to it. What sucked is that everytime I got Sarah's lighter goin it went out on me (damn it!). They had these green lights swirling in mist infront of the stage, "like totally psychedelic dude!". We had to leave right after cuz we needed to catch the bus back to Yorkdale station :(. EDGEFEST FUCKIN KICKS!!!! I really want to go to Summersault (Our Lady Peace, Garbage, etc) xept that I don't think I'll be able to cuz it costs a lot of $$$$$$ :(, oh well, when do tickets for EDGEFEST '98 go on sale!??!?!?
