Provinssirock 2007

I had a great weekend. Went to Provinssirock at Seinäjoki. I hadn't been there in like three years. I'd been there for five years before the pause in going there. It was still the same really. It felt like I'd just been there, which was sort of weird since it had been so long. The sun was shining, there was no rain and it wasn't too hot or too cold. It got chilly at night but I was prepared so it was not a problem. The company was also great. I was with my twin, her boyfriend and my little brother. It was great having my little brother there too since it was his first real rock festival. Everyone had the same easy-going attitude so it was just great. (What can one say? It was great. That's about it. I'm also feeling really unwitty at the moment so no great post to come...)

The only minus points were that there wasn't really a band I really, really wanted to see. No Suede, Manic Street Preachers or such like the greatest gigs I've ever seen at Provinssirock. In the end it did not realy matter though since the weather was good and I had enough to eat. I'm hoping next year I'll get to go again and maybe there will be better bands performing.

Another minus was the stupid drunken people like the thirty year old teenagers at the school housing. They had just the worst teenage angst going on. One man wanted to die or kill himself at like 2 am when we were trying to sleep and kept talking about it with his friends. And then in the morning one of the women wanted to die since apparently her boyfriend had almost cheated on her and she'd been just in time to stop him. But yeah. I know people wanting to kill themselves is not funny but still. The people were like "old" for pete's sake and they we acting like stupid teenagers and I'm sure the reason they came to the festival was just to drink loads and do stupid things like cheat on each other so why complain when it happens. See I'm not into drinking at festivals. I mean what's the point. If I want to get drunk I can do it elsewhere like with friends at parties. I don't have to do it outside and pay loads to miss bands playing. I did have like two ciders on Saturday so I do have to admit that I was not totally sober. But yeah, other people might think it weird to go to a festival and not get totally wasted. I just had so much fun the first time I went to a festival and I did not drink anything then so why would I need to drink anything the other times I go to festivals. Provinssirock 1999 is one of my fondest memories ever and I did not drink anything back then. And I have to say that even though they did not have the incredible line-up they had back then, this year nearly parallels the great time I had back then.

Thanks to the company! :)
