Leeds Fest 2012

I couldn't blog about Leeds fest straight away as I had a few tricks up my sleeve that couldn't be revealed until a certain birthday girl had received her presents.

I've been going to Leeds Festival on and off since 2008 and this year, after last years horrific camping incidents with the drug dealers next door, we decided to only get a day ticket for the Friday so my sister could see Foo Fighters and I could see All Time Low and Bullet For My Valentine.

One of the best things about festivals is that even if there isn't a band that you particularly want to see on a stage, you can find other things to do until there is. I usually opt for the signing tent, again depending on who is there. This year we were lucky and All Time Low were doing a signing before they went on stage later in the day.
I never really do anything interesting with things I get signed, I usually lose them or forget that I have them in the first place so I decided to make this one count and got a 21st birthday card signed for my friend Vicky. (Hence why I couldn't post this until her presents were given).

Overall it was a good day with very little rain whilst we were there, good bands and good company with surprise visits from friends that I havent seen in a while.

I might risk going for the weekend again next time though, I'll just be careful who I set up camp next to!

Happy birthday Vicky!
