ampli5

aug 13 2007

at the very last minute ed and i decided to go to the ampli5 concert at the bellville velodrome. what a great evening...

the bands were awesome. although i must say i didn't recognise some of the songs. i was well chuffed to watch the violent femmes live. other honorable mentions are love jones, the parlotones, fokofpolisiekar. i see that the gang of instrumentals played at the other venues and i definitely would have loved to have seen them.

ed and i got there a little late, and beat the queuing crowds, yay. we then noticed that there were gold (for golden circle) and blue (for the cuervo vip section) bracelets. you could buy the gold ones, ofcourse, but the blue bracelets required your name to be on the 'vip' guest list. it turns out that damien's sister managed to get some for them... but try as i might the guys giving them out wouldn't be bribed to give ed and i a pair.

but, cunningly i managed to get my paws on a pair anyways (i will not divulge how though) and we managed to access the vip area... very cool!
