I caught the train with J and JJ to London. It pulled in and we jumped on the tube and walked to our youth hostel (£22 for the over 18s including breakfast). We jumped out stuff and SEVERAL outfit changes later, not on my part, we made our way over to Hyde Park.

Pink was headlining alongside the Ting-Tings and the Gossip. It had not occurred to me what that would do to the straight/lesbian ratio there. I'd just accepted the last ticket going from JJ and settled my debt. It was a total Lez-fest. I was very pleased with this outcome. We started out watching Bluey Robinson who is immensely hot and incredibly talented. It was a really good start and we headed for the main stage and watched the end of Bowling for Soup's set. Funny guys. We had some ice cream and chilled out for a while.

I decided to make the most of the eye candy. I wandered around alone just soaking up the atmosphere and all the beautiful girls with buzz cuts and doc martins. I do love the rocker look. I spotted a stunning girl. Petite, slim, one side of her head completely shaved and a layered choppy mohawk style going up the other. She had delicate elvish features with a small mouth with full lips.

She was with two other girls, they'd all just sat down. I went and knelt by her and touched her on the shoulder. "I'm sure you're not single, but I just thought you should know you are one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen." She looked at me, huge brown eyes, with something of a question in them. She bit her lip. One of the girls pointed to the other and said, "...and that's her girlfriend."

I glanced at the girlfriend (who didn't look too impressed might I add) and said, "you are lucky to have her. Enjoy the show tonight." As I walked away, I heard the girlfriend snap, "why didn't you tell her?" Well, I just aired an opinion.

I headed back to the others and we headed into the crowd. Aside from one very angry ginger guy who desperately tried to pick fights with everyone and hold his picnic blanket as his personal space. At a concert. Right. Eventually one girl got to him enough that he stormed off in a very angry way and left his picnic blanket behind. Which we all happily and guiltlessly trampled on for the rest of the night.

The Gossip were absolutely wicked and put on a wicked set. I danced like crazy, but then I'm a rhythm slut who'll dance to anything with a beat. I dropped my top because it was pretty hot in the crowd and I like to be more naked than not. Being the social creature that I am, I made some friends. Namely a gorgeous girl called Prue from a seaside town. We talked through most of the Ting-Tings set. It was pretty samey, so we talked instead, while I danced. Like I said, rhythm slut.

Prue was a hell of a lot of fun and incredibly cool. Pretty soon we were making out a little. She wished I lived nearer her, I pointed out life is no fun if everything is easy. I really enjoyed the company of having someone to dance with, chat to, have a total laugh with when I'd only just met them. I love the stranger thing.

Pink was incredible. She pulled this girl on stage who just happened to have an amazing voice, she talked to the audience like they were people not just ticket stubs. She fell out of a box 30 meters in the air as a starting act, her stage was set up like a funfair, she zip wired over the crowds whilst singing and ran over the audience in a giant hamster ball. Not to mention the fact that her music and voice was incredible. I was buzzing.

After the concert I said bye to Prue (we'd had such a wicked night)  and we made our way out. We got to the main streets and there was a policeman who frankly might as well have been a comedian the way he got the crowds going. He knew how to motivate us. We went and had McDonalds (I waited and had hot wings from KFC after) and we made our way home.

We did end up wandering the streets for SOME time seeing as I hadn't taken the map with me. Or listened to the woman when she was talking to us about coming in at night. Even though there were 3 of us, I apparantly got the blame for that because I'm usually the organised one. Eventually we found our way into the hostel and helped a couple of others while we were at it. A good nights sleep was exactly what we needed, even if some of us did insist on showering at night instead of in the morning. Typical.
