the lowlands challenge 2008/2009
If you plan to in the lowlands (again) next year, i hereby challenge you: keep the llow lluv alive! Every time you see your lowlands wristband(s) while in public, act as if you were at lowlands again. Cut yours off? Decorate your watch, set a phone wallpaper, use any reminder you can carry with you. Be happy, greet and pict up to random people, make life just that little bit more endurable.
You can stop when it's obvious no one else is in the mood or can even appreciate it (that's proper lowlands behaviour as well) but make clear you're not going to stop being a lowlander just because it happens to be december or you happen to be in a mall.
Have fun!
Lowlands 2008 Review Preview
Review preview? That's right - this is the preview of my Lowlands 2008 review. Or mostly a review of what went wrong and how to improve matters next year.
- More action pics, fewer band pics.
A whole year long I've been saying "it's the atmosphere, not the bands" about Lowlands. And yet I return with more than half of my pictures being fuzzy shots of bands. Well, that's not going to happen next year. More (in)action pictures please! If only because even though I am as ugly as you moma's butt, I look a helluva lot better than Johnny Rotten.
- Bring all equipment.
As nice as the "3 voor 12" ladies were, queuing three times to recharge my phone was a waste of time. Next year I'll bring not just my solar charger but also the right cables for my phone. Loser!
- Tent sharing.
Next year I will not invite anyone into my tent until Lowlands (or Lowlands Thursday at least) has kicked off.
- Consume less alcohol and drugs.
Haha, just kidding. I'm just trying to come up with an excuse why the actual review tonight will be full of gaps. Long live paradise.
lowlands 2008, some missing pics
Never sent there apparently. Then again, i can't even remember taking them.. So that explains why!
I'll be sorting out all posts from this llow weekend tonight by removing duplicates and making a summary post. (the ultimate lowlands 2008 review or something like that)
lowlands 2008, lowlands 2009
By the way, we are on our way home. Didnt sleep last night as usual on the last night.
Anyway it was great! Especially saying doei (bye) to EVERYONE on the way out. So.. DOEI and cya next year at lowlands 2009!
lowlands monday
Yeah party hard, happy birthday michelle, bye bye lowlands!
Damn nearly time to pack and go..
lowlands!
lowlands 2008, asakusa jinta
lowlands 2008, hives and rain
Hello! The hives arent my thing but they played a good show which seemed popular.
And now the sad news: we just had the first serious lowlands rain. Its a bit of a mess (as if it wasnt before) but its dry again and the tents are warm enough to be able to chill again.
Waiting for a japanese hoompa thingey in the india, should be fun!
lowlands 2008, textures and gogol bordello
Textures were bril, even if i was half dead and half asleep during most of it. Gogol bordello is on and certainly swings but they could pick up the pace a bit especially now that it is closer to rain than ever before this lowlands. Nothing worse than a light drizzle so far though!
lowlands 2008, fucked up
Erom canada and definitely the best of lowlands so far. Louder than loud, punk to the core, massive circle pit including singer who went and buggered off dns the last song.. Fucked up in0the charlie was better than coffee and on a sunday morning that says a lot. Next: india, textures.
lowlands 2008, sunday morning
lowlands 2008, sex pistols
Wait a minute, wasnt that last night? Sure, but followed by 90s now and those classics got me dancing and drunk enough to not bother with updates!
Anyway, the sex pistols were suprisingly good dns their age, even when it became clear our generation doesnt really know them too well save for a few songs. Johnny rotten appeared drunk (but no more than us) and the rest of the band sadly didnt enter any spotlights. To be honest, i expected more than a 1 man show.
Slowly waking up now, without coffee even. Yet to decide whats nxt.
lowlands 2008, sex..
The sex pistols are up at 9! Iron and wine were nice but simply not my thing..
Let's hope johnny rotten still knows how to make punk rock at age 52. Can't wait!=20
lowlands 2008, saturday so far
After getting up and being in a longish queue for the arena, sat kicked off with dancing on korpiklaani's folk metal. Followed by a nice sunshine filled volbeat in the alpha.
Although not their best performance i've seen, mindless self indulgence were loads of fun as well. And damn, the food is jum here - again!
Chilling with anne a bit now, sex pistols later!
lowlands 08, FRIDAY NIGHT
lowlands 2008, swirls and moonshine
Its saturday already, but fortunately its the friday night part of saturday so the party is still going strong.
Pim made me a delicious pancake and swirls as desert completed the fun before the dancing in the grolsch. Will be back there later but expect no more updates before breakfast!
Love you all!=20
lowlands 2008, hadouken, thrice, dropkick murphies
Apologies for the delay, my phone had to be recharged. And then i found a nice place in the sun to.. Fall asleep! Oops!
Hadouken was grand, they definitely deserved to be in a bigger tent than charlie.
Thrice was nice (haha) but left no serious impression. A bit of a waste going to the india, really. Fortunately leaving early meant being up front for the pit at dropkick murphies. First serious dancing of the night!
And the last, for now due to the earlier mentioned sleep interval. Again, oops, but it was sooo nice after having the famous lowlands pancake for dinner.
As you can see, the arena is nicely lit up now so we're ready for more fun. And, in case you wondered about the wristbands: turquoise this time.
More later.. And have a nice weekend if yours just started! X
hadouken, lowlands 2008
Hadouken was great! We definitely rocked the place! Thrice is starting now in the india, nice!
Battery is about to die so updates might be a bit delayed!
