free day in leeds
we took a bus to leeds center and it was honestly a huge place. there were markets and shops all over the place as well as old buildings. i went to topshop for the first time ever and i couldn’t believe someone would pay £45 for a pair of jeans that aren’t really designer. then we found the grand prize of them all, where everybody wanted to go – primark. there was so much stuff and everything was quite cheap and i straight went to the home section to get gabby’s – velvetgh0st from youtube – mug. she had a home range with primark so that was my top priority and i got the cat whisker mug, then later i regretted that i didn’t get the ohter one as well.
primark was literally the size of the viru shopping centre in tallinn, literally the one primark store was that big. we went to burger king for lunch and it was worse than average really. then we went to a market where there were small boutiques and i saw a small anime shop and i was super excited and i wanted a doctor who tea set but didn’t get it. we also visited a charity shop and i left with another five books. yes. then it was time for our bus to leave. we quickly went to get dinner before the place closed but the food was meh but the coffee was somewhat decent. at about twelve i went to sleep.

leeds festival ’pre’day
at one we went to the orange campsite which took us a while to get to, about half an hour. we started to pick up all the cans and bottles from around the campsite which was our job. we worked for about four and a half hours and it was actually nicer than i thought it would be. people were nice and offered help and apologized for being so messy and in the process ,we got free drinks if we found any. after work we went to get food immediately. after that we lounged around, talked to people like every night until bedtime.
i went to bed at nine thirty-ish because it was super cold outside again.

we lounged around until twelve thirty, so then me and janet went to see bands. i went to see fort hope as i had planned and they were fuckin’ awesome! i also had a near-death experience again when people started the fun little thing called a mosh pit – just around me. one girl got punched in the nose and she started bleeding, so there’s that. then i went to see lonely the brave for about twenty minutes and they were awesome as well.
it was the estonians’ day of washing up the cooking stuff so me and janet did that. i saw the gaslight anthem then and they were incredible, considering the fact that reading and leeds were the last shows they’d put on.
at around six thirty me, eleny and kristjan (all estonians) went to see years & years but they didn’t come on until i had to go to the lock up stage, so i saw bury tomorrow instead and then the one i’d been waiting for such a long time – frnkiero andthe cellabration. such a fantastic band and frank iero is one of my favourite people in the world so i’m so glad i got to see him! after that i caught a glimpse of the kendrick lamar set and he was cool though i don’t really listen to rap and r&b much. then i went back to campsite but on the way i got myself a leeds festival t-shirt which is probably the most expensive shirt i own.
then a big group of us went to see the libertines on the main stage. they were really really good. after the gig a group went back to the campsite and a group went to the forest rave. so, yeah, i went to the campsite and went to sleep a bit before twelve.

twenty past two we went work and i collected quite a lot of the bottles and cans. A girl told me she appreciates our work which was super sweet.
at four twenty i went off to see all time low and i missed the first two songs but i’m alright ’cause i still got to see one of my favourite bands live! they were fantastic and the jokes on stage, oh man. i almost cried when they played ’missing you’. at five thirty i went back to work and i picked up cans for an hour and then we were let off again. i got dinner and later on at eight we went off to the lock up stage to wait for the simple plan set. we finished up in the third row of the simple plan gig and they were fantastic! i’m still such an emo, i felt all the 2007 feels. i was left alone after the simple plan gig so i made it into the second row for the new found glory gig.
new found glory were the shit, i tell ya. they were so damn good and i got crushed again ’cause people crowd surfed over my head. i felt as if either they were gonna break my glasses or they’d rip my right ear off. ben from neck deep sang ’black & white’ on stage with nfg. :’) i touched for like thirty seconds straight and i feel kinda proud for being where i was by the fence. after the gig i stayed where i was, hoping the band would come off stage or someone or they’d throw guitar picks or something. but then – CHAD GILBERT AS IN THE CHAD GILBERT WHO IS MY QUEEN HAYLEY WILLIAMS’ FIANCEÉ walked past the fence and handed people guitar picks! I GOT CHAD GILBERT’S GUITAR PICK and it has a picture of alf on it! yes! i was literally shaking for at least an hour. bob thought it was funny that i was so excited. right after i went to bed but couldn’t get sleep for at least until one am.
work place and equipment!
until the next uk diary!
