pay for concerts? bah

so yet again (in the space of 3 weeks) I managed to get some more free concert tickets. I'm starting to think that I have some special music powers when it comes to this...

however, this story is a bit more lengthy. I will do my best.

one of Chloe's friends, who works at Universal Records, called her on Thursday and said that if you were a person in the know, O2 was giving out free tickets to the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, but only to O2 customers. To gain free entry you had to go to an O2 shop and find a random looking guy outside who was giving out the tickets and persuade him that you were a long-time O2 customer who was very worthy of free concert tickets. Chloe went and got two for her and her friend, and then I went and got two more and took a friend from down the road.

We got to the festival around 6pm, but since we were really going to see Hot Chip, that was fine for us since they were just going on. We danced, drank, smuggled in cigarettes and had a merry time (especially once the rain stopped). Later on the same main stage Mark Ronson and Jay-Z played. Ronson was ok, but his show was more about what big names made 'surprise appearances' (like Lily Allen). Whereas, Jay-Z's show was amazing, the crowd loved him and sang along to everything, and was actually a lot more tame than the Radiohead crowd, which I thought was interesting.





Overall, free music and fun times is pretty great!
