Review - Rainbow Serpent Festival

On the weekend, I went to Rainbow Serpent. Located way out west where the rain don’t fall. That's Beaufort to the locals.

Why did I go? Well let’s just say, the chance of a ‘root’ was just too good to pass up. Thanks Mr Cox.


Snakespsssssssss

Highlights:

* Prolific use of the c-bomb by the HDP crew.

* Nenad’s magical op shop delights.

* Hodgey: What’s the time Mr C\/nt?

* Russell: I accidentally the whole (insert noun here).

* Car with ‘ang’ number plates.

* The NBL ball with the screw.

* Timmehh – particularly his fluoro.

* Ben – aka Egyptian Sun God.

* Amber fluids, water bottles, sprinklers, vanilla vodka (thanks C and C!) and actives of the psycho variety.

* And you know, plenty of good ol' fashioned fun:



Lowlights:

* Prolific use of the c-bomb by the incredibly nasal-voiced (in fact, nasal-enough-to-put-Fran-Fine-to-shame) bogan.

* The Deathstar.

* Sam going head over handlebars on Matt’s candy striped bike. Result? A refashioning of his chest to look like one of those ‘Where is Spot?’ flaps.

* Not really dealing with the extreme dip in temperature at night time. I was not prepared for the microclimate. Brrrrrrr.

* Dirt and its ability to penetrate through everything. Saw dust too. Ewwwwwwww.

* Samvir not making the trip.

And you know what? I think I’ll do it all over again next year.

RSF: 4 and a 1/2 stars.
