Sydney Big Day Out/My Chemical Romance sideshow - Thursday January 26th & Friday 27th 2012

So once I left BDO and rushed home I quickly changed clothes, sorted out the things I would need to camp out for the next day/night when MCR would play and went to the next venue.

My parents drove me  to the venue and then I met up with Angie! My santi! Who I had not seen in over a year :(

I was planning for awhile now to meet up with her and to camp out for the Friday MCR show.

I also met Amy who had been staying with Angie since arriving from New Zealand. I also met many other people, too many awesome fans to list to be honest.

I got to the Hordern Pavillion at about 8:30/9pm I think and then i settled in on the ground trying to prepare for what was to come.

I had never camped out/slept overnight at a venue before so i could get barrier for a concert/band.

I had my sleeping bag, blanket and pillow yet still you could not be very comfortable but you had to try. I got very little sleep but it was like one big sleepover and i didn’t get to talk to everyone who was there from the time i got there to 6am but everyone seemed cool.

I was number 15 and we gave people numbers up until like 30 and we all hoped we would get to the barrier first.

Security told us we could stay at the venue as long as we made no noise at all and stayed in the same place all night.

By 6am things got worse and worse as time no longer went by quickly at all and trying to find a spot to stay in for a long period of time was becoming difficult. Sitting or standing.. i don’t know what was worse at times plus being sleep depreived.

Also early in the morning at lot of us had returned our blankets and sleeping bags so we had nothinh soft to sit on, lay down on. People became desperate to find something to sit on.

At some point a few of us went to gloria jeans to sit on their oh so soft furniture. It was like heaven lol We had something to drink and eat.

I felt a bit sick after that and so did a few other people. I think it was a mixture of junk food and nerves/excitement for MCR.

When it was two hours to go I started to try and get my energy levels back up and get excited for the concert.

I stood up mostly from then on and people started writing things on people’s hands, words and lyrics.

It was really stressful about half an hour before doors opened as the lines weren’t all clear and it wasn’t clear what would happen next with our tickets, who goes in first, or all rows at once? and we were all saying to each other what if we don’t get the barrier.

Sydney Big Day Out - Thursday January 26th 2012
I woke up at about 8am that morning, did my usual morning routine and texted Jaynee to organise when to meet up and got changed.
I then left the house and it started raining :( but luckily my mum had convinced me to take my rain jacket with me.
Sat at the bus stop for like 10 minutes. Got to the train station and caught the first train to Lidcombe.
Listened to MCR the whole way there and texted Jaynee.
We met at Lidcombe train station at around 10:30am I think and then caught the train to Olympic Park where BDO was held.
It was overcast when we got there and as soon as we entered the venue it started pouring down. Everyone was drenched and looking very attractive lol
We managed to find some shelter somewhere and it stopped raining for awhile.
We walked around, looked at some merch, other shops and found where all the stages were.
We mainly came to see MCR play though.
I heard a few bands that i didn’t mind the sound of that i hadn’t heard before which include the jezabels and boy & bear. I listened to Living End too but i already knew who they were.
Jaynee and I survived the changing weather, entertained ourselves with boys skate boarding, food, our phones, each others company and then made our way down to where MCR would be playing.
We stood near the second barricade about 3-4 bands before MCR set.
We had a good spot and see the band clearly. I think this was Jaynee’s first time she was seeing the band so it was important she didn’t miss anything and could see them.
This was my second time seeing them and it was way too long since i last saw them in 2007 which was when i had just started to find out who they were and their music.
I thought the setlist was pretty damn amazing and a good selection of songs off their albums. I was happy with it and sharing the moments with jaynee and singing from the top of our lungs.
I was just so happy to have them so close, back in Australia and playing live songs for us.
I took a few photos and a video on my camera before the battery ran out. I forgot that you have to charge up new cameras.
Setlist included (not in order):
Look Alive Sunshine & NANANANA
I’m Not Okay
Teenagers
Mama
Famous Last Words
Kids From Yesterday
Destroya
Planetary (Go!)
Give Em Hell Kid
Sorrows
Black Parade
After that we freaked out about MCR, I had to say goodbye, we hugged and I raced to the train station so I could get back to Central and home again.
