First Day Feature

Through many dramas that will become irreplaceable stories and highlights that are already irreplaceable memories, all in all today has been, dare I say it, irreplaceable. A fantastical journey across 2 states, numerous changes of mood and much aural delight.

Lows of the day:-
Awoke at 3.30AM
Flight delayed for plane maintenance
Flight touchdown delayed due to fog at Brisbane Airport
Missed Dan Sultan's set because of delay

Highs that made up for it:-
Sunny, pleasantly humid weather - so great to see sunshine
Saw most of Washington's set who was well polished for a first time festival artist
Foals - enough said
Blown away by the scale of event; size of space, amount of people, Ampitheatre in general - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club had a great following which makes me think I've missed out on more
The moment when watching LCD Soundsytem late in their set when I was finally able to let go of the last few weeks of worry including today's unfamiliar restlessness
