the ones in bold are the ones we actually saw/heard!

what can i say it was awesome, super hot and the sun was a nice melting heat, i got sunburnt really bad from waiting in line for a drink! The offspring was a real highlight because it has been like a million years (ok, so more like 9 years) since i was in love with Dexter and wanted to see them live!! hey, i was 12 and the offspring were awesome! then after moshing for god knows how long our little group of friends had a huge water fight which was quite perfect cos it was stinkin hot!

ZOMFG! MINDLESS SELF FUCKING INDULGENCE!! they were awesome to see live! he was hilarious! i got some videos of him going off on stage that are hilarious to watch! at one point jimmy pulled his pants down and sang half the song in his underwear! another point he sang part on a song on the stage next to the one they were on (its a festival so there was about 5 different stages) where they were setting up for Thursday. funny part was when jimmy was talking to the croud!
Jimmy: "This next song is for the New Zealand people!"
Crowd: "*BOOO* FUCK NEW ZEALAND!"
Jimmy: "Hey now, don't hate them because they're from Middle-Earth. Hobbits are people too!"

I just gotta say i love love love alexisonfire! they were awesome too! the rest of the bands were pretty good i guess, we didnt see or hear as much as i would have liked but it was so hot in the sun and the mosh pits that we couldnt stand to be out there and there wasnt enough shade for something like that.

anyhoo, im not feeling the best at the moment so this is as much as can type at the moment, i think i covered all bases but if anyone has any questions or what ever ill be happy to help!
