Summer Break – Benicassim (FIB)
So I’ve just got back from my summer holiday, I took a trip with some friends to Spain to spend most of my time at FIB festival in Benicassim after graduating from Staffordshire University. It was immense hands down the best festival I’ve been to although I’m no major festival goer. So chilled out with so much sun! It was over 4 days but we stayed for 7 days chilling and relaxing all cool in the sun with a day trip to Valencia.

Having never been to a festival in another country we got an apartment which in hindsight was the best idea considering the heat. Having camped before at other events, I’ve been there and done that and nothing beats AC and a shower, plus it was a holiday, you can’t spend a holiday in a tent. The downside to this was it far from close to the festival so it was a bus or taxi to get there. Not a problem once your in a taxi or a bus. The shuttle bus was damn expensive and taxis, well they are like gold dust that didn’t seem to understand supply and demand. Other than that the sleeping arrangements where top notch and overall didn’t cost that much once you include the travel, it all boils down to how amazing air conditioning is and a nice cold shower after a sweaty day in the sun.
The highlight act however is a hard one, the surprise act had to be Professor Green. He put on a good show which wasn’t expected. The best act for me was Fake Blood as I has an awesome time during the set but best show goes to Arcade Fire on the last night, awesome.
Once last high point because I’m really not trying to review the thing but the lack of queues for getting drinks, although expensive you could get one within 5 minutes, the downside however is being pestered by people selling pills every 5 minutes.
Would I do it again? Hell yes!
But now I’m back with 3 days left until Monday morning and I’ve stumbled across this blog of mine after checking my emails and various other sites, which includes 79 inbox emails (1/3 form HASystem which has worked flawlessly) and billions of posts on Google Reader. I guess its down hill from here now until the winter so its about moving on from University, its looking like a more to Nottingham is on the cards and a new start in a new city so there is still loads left to get out of the remaining summer weeks!
