The Journey:
26 Zimbabwean youths (Yes I still classify myself as one thank you) piled in the back of a 100 ton rig. (Ok thats a lie I am not sure on tonnage. (what a strange word))- and this truck was pimped up!! Some sort of closed sides, hay bales all around, eskie's lining the floor and of course almost the whole Dukes sound system blaring! We were off!! Like animals- screaming, banging the sides, banging the floor and of course taking soouupp! We had one Akon song- ONE- FRREEEEEEDDDOOOOMMMM!! I didn't know the words but I belted out whatever came to my mind! With a trip like this- it was going to be a gooooooooood night!
The Gate:
We arrive- the vibe is ELECTRIC! We were dancing in the car park- having some more bevies when we saw the crowd starting to migrate! My Airport Me took over (I have to be at the front, I have to be first at the baggage claim- I turn animalistic! I will even knock over old people to get there..) so there i was running up a gigantic hill- but its too late! The queue is redic! But the Airport Me can do this- so I make my own queue! It worked- but one of our men fell in battle! $600 of the big ones stolen out his pocket and I think he took some fist! NOT COOL!
The Show:
So we go in our gate and off we go down to the field thing! The excitement is too much! I am immediately 10 times more drunk than I actually am! My Pretty Blonde friend and I then notice that the only thing separating us ($50 section) to golden circle ($100) is a shitty piece of black plastic! We can do this!!! So off we go- under the plastic and then to sprint! We both got caught and tossed back out- but what we didn't realise was that the only thing separating the $15 section and us- was shitty black plastic!!! These people had bush telegraph to the tee- they all just pushed- SNAP- and we were stampeded! It was like running of the bulls but more savage! Beef Dog even ran the shoes off her feet- and had to leave them! So now we are surrounded by $15 people! Ef it mannnnn- but lets enjoy hey! So we start dancing- make a few $15 friends! We were lucky enough to see the "amazing" Winky Dee (Yes seriously thats his name- what a rock star).. Slowly but surely people went back up to the stands- all but 4! I had to see Sean Paul (His music also makes me jirate). Well (and this is not an exaggertion) he came on at 12! It was meant to be 8! And believe me when I say the crowd was helluva restless- and when I say they PUSHED- they effing pushed! Us 4 lone soldiers were separated before we could even say bye! So there I was- lost in a sea of $15 people! I was in tears- but God saved me- he sent two little Indian men- they picked me up and carried me out the jungle! I hugged them so hard I may have broken their ribs! It was now 1am and still no AKON- "Screw this" we said- over and out! We were by the gate- Akon comes on! I ran so fast my legs were a blur to me- I had to see Akon- $50 to see Winky- no thanks! Well he was a dot- and I had puffy eyes! Home time!
The bottom line is I dont think I can do it all over again! It was a once in a lifetime experience- but not like the good type- but then again look at the story I got out of it! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/zim.socialite
Please let me know if you think I should go!! :) Even if its just for a report!
This is how Sean makes me boogie!!
Akon was the polar opposite to this:
Have a good Thursday!!!
