United States of Hardcore
Arrived 9.30, in by 10...cheers for the credit card trick Kev. Got fondled by security guard then in. Started good - met Kev, Sam and Happy Bounce. Then got contraband taken off me in toilets...bad. Shaken a bit by that. Mate gets punched in face by Birkenhead Tosser. Get him thrown out. Walk round arenas and realise that sound system is shit in all rooms. Starts to get crowded but don`t really notice due to bing pretty wasted. Miss Vibes and Livelee - biggest disaster of the night by far! Night goes by like a blur, too hot, too cold, too busy.... Found bit of space at back of Arena 5 to dance - only success of night. Hardcore there too slow, too quiet, not bouncy enough. However, did met some OK people and danced to the max. Respect to Kev, Sam (cheer up mate) and Happy Bounce. See ya at raindance. Paulie
