Summer Sonic 2006

I somehow got lucky and got myself on the guestlist for 1st day. My friend that got me on the list told me that we are going in as editors. I was like "Editors? Editors for what?" But my friend was just instructed to do so from her friend that got us on the list and didn't really have any more info. So we went to the guest sign-in table and told them that we are editors and our names should be on the list. Naturally, they were like "You are editors? With which company?" And I was like "um..." And they suggested "Did you mean you are on the guestlist for the band Editors"? I was like "ah, maybe.." and sure enough our names were listed under the guests for the band. It was a rather embarrassing moment, I could see receptionist the girl was trying hard to hold herself from laughing aloud. But in any case, we were able to get in for a hugely discounted price so it was all good.

I didn't really get to see all the bands I wanted to see because of schedule reasons. But this time, there was no single band I really wanted to check out so I decided to catch as many band performances as possible by going from one band performance to another. That's what's really cool about going to these rock festivals, seeing all these different bands performing, including ones you would not necessarily go see live if was not for the festival. Out of the ones I got to see, Zebrahead was pretty fun to watch. Editors, our band, was pretty good too.
