So Download Festival was such a gong show in the best way possible. For starters kudos to the Brits, holy hell can they drink or what? Festival organizers said they sold 1.2 million pints (!!!) in 3 days, and that doesn't even include the alcohol people brought on their own to the campsite. So yeah it was a rather drunken affair.

Donington is a pretty sweet venue, though it got very muddy, very fast with just a little rain. It never really poured hard, but there were a few periods of steady rain and that was that. Should have taken a picture of our campsite are, but it was ugly. A pair of shoes and pants were ruined for sure.

They also had a wicked awesome village area that was basically like the Stampede midway but with much better entertainment and food choices. Crocodile burgers? An ostrich food joint? Mexican, Greek, Indonesian food, just so many choices. And the late night comedy tent was awesome too.

So yeah I guess everyone should enjoy a festival in Europe if they're all like that. The crowds were rowdy, the girls were flashing the tits nonstop and the music was awesome. Even though it was kind of a disaster from the planning standpoint and the grounds were a mess with the mud, it was still the most fun disaster ever.
