With Marlo as our tour guide we went and got lunch in my van. Then we went to the beach by the airport and watched the planes taking off and landing and stuff, sitting in the lounge chairs in the van.

Marlo was also nice enough to drop us off at the concert. When we saw the line at the gates to the concert, we were like “Holy Shit!” it was so long. But it started moving pretty quick. This is when I saw the KISS ARMY, in camo pants and singlets, that was a really mean idea.

The others went in by themselves cos they were in the Diamond seating, and I went down to the pit to find my other mates, Zac and Blake. After a bit of confusion about which pit they were in I found them, just in time for Lordi. They were pretty good, though I thought the sound was a bit off. Looks like they get real hot in those costumes. Quite stoked to see them cos I used to be really into them, but I didn’t know most the songs they sang probably cos I only ever had the first album, Get Heavy.

Then Sonic Altar came on, who a couple of my mates know cos they went to our school. I went for a walk and found my mate from BP (Dale), had a chat, and then ran into my other mate from BP (Mike), was pretty cool.

Alice Cooper had a really good stage act. He stabbed a baby with a stake, bashed his missus around, and then got straight jacketed and hung on stage. That’s what I call show! As my mate said tho, the Christians are going to have a big whine about that. He sang Poison and Schools Out and a few others.

Then Symphony of Screams came on who were nice and heavy but didn’t hold my interest much, so I went and found my other friend from BP (BP Bogans), Tess. She was up with her friends boyfriend cos her friend was sick and couldn’t come.

Went back to the pit but then we decided to go sit in the stands. Then KISS came on and everyone pretty much went nuts. I went to get some food and Lilley from the KISS ARMY was sitting next to my seat. Offered her some chips, and had a chat to her and watched the rest of the show. Was pretty good, KISS put on a good show, but I only knew the last two, which got the most applause.

I thought it was funny, and it just shows how lazy us New Zealanders are, when all the bands are up there like “Louder! Make some noise” and everyone is just like “Yeaaahh…” half-assed like. Well, I was anyway lol. Lilley was making quite a bit of noise though hehe…

After that I gave Lilley my number and gapped it out to my mates who were waiting outside, went for a walk through town with all the other bogans. Just a mass of black shirts, beards, and long hair. So cool, you could imagine the newspaper headline eh, “Bogans invade Wellington”!

Anyways, walked around looking for food places, watched a Maori dude try to start a fight with a bouncer, then throw his girlfriend round, and then we caught a taxi home.
