So this is my first ever post, on my first ever blog. So it's bound to be S**T!
Anyways, I'm a pretty low limit player myself, running around on $0.50/$1.00 almost exclusively.
I have a bank roll of approximately $3,000, and will not move to $1.00/$2.00 before the big $4,000 flashes in front of my eyes.
Hopefully I will become more amusing as I begin to get more comfortable with writing my most intimate thoughts down in blog form.
I'm currently a mega $40 up for the month (from about 3hrs play)... High stakes indeed!
Haven't played in over a week. Playing on Betfair now. Software is fairly lame, but the rakeback is really good (30%).
Went to V Festival last weekend, and as per the frickin weather was amazing...ly bad!
Ended up a complete mud bath (see above).
A weekend in welly boots and a non to waterproof gagool (sp) insued... Less than impressed. Luckily I enjoyed the acts, and grudgingly had a good time...
For details of the line up see, http://www.vfestival.com/index.html?pid=2124
Here are the bands/artists I saw and my thoughts...
James - One of my guilty pleasures this band, and live they did not disappoint. They played all the old classics, and I sang away till my vocal chords hurt. Tim Booth is a nutter tho.
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Altho brief, I enjoyed the quirky Latino folk rock
Manic Street Preachers - Watched from a far, and if I was a fan I reckon I'd have thought they were amazing. But I'm not... So I didn't.
Damian Rice - BEST ACT OF THE FESTIVAL imo, no doubt. Haunting, provactive and intimate set. This was made better by the fact all the jubs had gone to watch the pile of crap known as the 'The Killers' on the main stage.
Seth Lakeman - Intriguing folk rock, but ultimately no long lasting appeal
Mutya Beuna - Averagely ok, thankfully I was far enough away that I couldn't see the girl properly
Stephen Fretwell - Pretty good, but not as good as I remember thinking his album was. He didn't seem as tight as I expected, nor as passionate.
The Fratellis - Not a massive fan, but I couldn't help but enjoy the chav band of the moment, and jump around with them like I'd taken one too many herbal highs. Very entertaining, and pretty well put together songs
Snow Patrol - My second favourite act of the festival... Probably because I was expecting to be a bit bored. Crowd really go into it, and I did get a shiver down my spine when they played Chasing Cars... So, erm, that must be good... right?!?!
Pink - Jumped around like the crazy girl she is, luckily she had backing vocals so we didn't have to hear her man voice
Kanye West - Like he Fratellis, not a massive fan, but very entertaining... I felt like a gangstar! West Side!
Editors - Tho the lead singer had immense moves, couldn't help but think at the start of the next song... Have I not heard this before? Oh yeah, it sounds the same as the last one! Which is a shame, as I reckon these boys do have talent!
The Proclaimers - CRAP
Just Jack - Really good, and he just seemed so happy to be there it rubbed off on me, and made me smile (awwwwww!)... Good lad, and some quite varied music.
The Kooks - Pretty damn average! Very disappointed. Don't know why, just don't think they put on a show by either quality, nor stage atmosphere.
Tom Baxter - Really cool. Intimate tent, brilliant arrangement. So gutted I ended up going to watch The Kooks, instead of staying for the last 15 minutes of his set...
In summary great fun...
Next year I'd like to check out Leeds/Reading. The line up looks more interesting for this festival (based on this year), and I don't like the number of chav's and jubs at V who will que for 5 hours to get a beer that is worse than piss, and spend the entire weekend so out of their face on party poppers they ended up crawling in the mud as opposed to listening to their hero Pete Doh!erty...
Anyways this post seems pretty big (sorry if the formatting is panties), and I don't wanna start with an essay, so...
Less rage in the next post... I promise...
Out...
