Parachute 08!!!

[Aero165]

Who's going to be at parachute 08? I will be!

At the moment I'm feeing a tad bit sick but I am hyped for it so hopefully I will get better soon!:banana:

[yungatart]

hXc is going.
He had decided not to, preferring to put his (our) dollars into his Belgium exchange. He has been for the last 6 years and didn't really want to miss out. So when he was asked to be assistant drum techy on Mainstage, he jumped at the chance.

[Aero165]

I think I know who your talking about. Speightsbud was telling about him

[hXc]

I'm guessing you're Aaron?

[Aero165]

I am, I am!:banana:

[emaN]

I am, I am!:banana:
DUDE!
when did you get an R1?!?

[Aero165]

About 3-4 months ago now. I'm loving it!!!:jerry:

[civil]

DUDE!
when did you get an R1?!?

right after he figured out that without a real bike, he would never get in front of me. :bleh:

[Aero165]

Lol! I wish I still had my motard! I'd teach you a thing or two during a trackday!!!!!

[emaN]

[The Pastor]

Short answer..No.
No personal vehicles inside the site.
There are parking areas outside the venue, you will be directed to park there.

[The Pastor]

great, bike will get nicked then, i will try and car pool then :)

My ex is on here. Found out about the site through him. Was gonna not come here again but thought nah once a kber always a kber:2thumbsup

[Aero165]

Someone told me a few weeks ago that they road up once and stored the bikes in a tent. Dunno if they were full of it or not.

Maybebaby, You'll probably find that Parachute has changed a bit since you were there last. How old are you may I ask?:Playnice:

We'll see!:shit:

For starters my bike is always clean and his bike is always horribly, horribly dirty ! (It's true) I wouldn't know about the performance. I'd assume the 07 would be a tad faster than the 06. I personally think the 06 looks better. :) I love it:love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Mum says that Karen and John are coming over in a few weeks for Nana's birthday. Would you be interested in coming over for the party?

[Aero165]

Switchfoot..............Calling Elijah.................Hillsong United.:headbang:

What about you??

[hXc]

The rave was awesome last year. I spent most of my time there to be honest.

[The Pastor]

thats cool, cos your ugly as sin.

[hXc]

So's your mum, but I just use a paper bag.
Lets not get this too off topic guys.

[The Pastor]

Thanks mate!

never too old for parachute, and 27/28 isn't excatly old.


Switchfoot..............Calling Elijah.................Hillsong United.:headbang:

switchfoot i guess, the only band i really liked was dave doybbn and he was so good. Pillar was the good too way back when.

One band I would like to see would be project 86.

I don't really go for the music as crazy as it seems, I just like to catch up with some mates who I havn't seen for a year, but it gets so expensive now.

[The Pastor]

I hear you're nipple's get caught in braces.

[hXc]

Yes it is almost too expensive but my daughter has been dying to go ever since she has known about it so we are all good :niceone:

[PrincessBandit]

My daughter is going again for the 3rd year in a row. Thought i might ride down to HMLTN on the Saturday, leave bike at mum's and con sister into dropping me at Mystery Creek so it don't get nicked (renegade master). Apart from great experience would be a good opportunity to play gooseberry on daughter and her b-f (evil :laugh:)

[The Pastor]

I wouldn't count on that.

[PrincessBandit]

I wouldn't count on that.

hehehehe, I have a secret weapon that will be there - it's called "his parents".:laugh:

[Tank]

My wife and youngest son have been for the last 3 years but have stopped because the quality of the festival went down and price went up.

bugger really - it gave me 3 days of drinking time with my mates.

[Aero165]

Thanks mate!

Not for all! I took hXc up there today...the place looks so different without 30000 people in it! I even got to drive the car in...sure beats walking carrying all your gear!
It is VERY hot and humid there, folks.
Take your sunscreen and remember to drink plenty (water, that is)

[The Pastor]

time to rock n roll like it was 1959 yo.

[Highlander]

Two of my kids have gone. They are there with a group from Tuaranga.
Looks like a good weekend for it.

[The Pastor]

got back a little while ago, it was very good :)

[Gubb]

I still don't understand, why would you throw up the 'devil horns' at a Christian music festival? Many of the crowd pics i've seen today,
featured kids giving the old :headbang:

[hXc]

Well. I'm home, tired. Very tired.
It was an awesome experience, and the guys from all the bands were pretty cool. Jonezetta and Rapture Ruckus were my favourites. Switchfoot were good, but I enjoyed Jonezetta a lot more.

I had 3 and a half hours sleep on Saturday night, followed by a 16hr day yesterday. I think I still need to catch up on sleep.

Thanks for making it an awesome weekend for all the bands and people there guys. It was cool seeing what I helped to achieve. And all the people enjoying themselves out front of mainstage.

[HenryDorsetCase]

it would be OK I guess, except for the compulsory god bothering.

did they crucify anyone this year, or is that only at the Jewish equivalent of paracute?

why is it called parachute anyway?

bet there was heaps of pissed up stray poon there though, right? am i right? huh?

[Gubb]

Unlikely, booze, drugs, and skimpy clothing free event.

*AMAZING* signature by the way. Took me a while to remember what song it was from.

[HenryDorsetCase]

isnt parachute a rock festival? if so then OF COURSE there was stray poon and heaps of gettin' the freak on.

I watched that DK's clip in your sig BTW. Try and check out the DK's "Live at the Deaf Club" CD its very good indeed. I suspect that clip was taken from a tape of that show.

[Gubb]

Go figure. Only festival that all entrants must abide by a 'moral code'.

I.E. No drinking
No Drugs
No mixed gender tents, unless they are married
No skimpy clothing

It's no Big Day Out

...wouldn't see the DK's playing there.

There is no compulsory God bothering.
No crucifixions either.
It is called Parachute after one of the headline acts, Parachute Band.
On Friday, 3 people were trespassed from the site for infringing the booze/drugs rule.

[hXc]

HDC...compulsory God bothering? You oughta go to Parachute next year. Saves you from making yourself look stupid with comments like that. If God isn't your thing, there is still plenty of things to do and bands to see (all the bands are Christian, but the majority don't preach during their set at all.)

ever thought I might have been taking the piss?

[The Pastor]

taking the piss on an internet fourms? what the hell have you been smoking, cant have none of that on here!!!

[hXc]

hxc, jonezetta was good eh? i bought the CD but it was like more pop than they sounded on stage, but i havnt had a good listen to it.They were both awesome on stage and in person. None of their gear arrived so they only had the clothes they were in and a few iPods etc (which was lucky, 'cause all their backing tracks were on the iPod). I was really impressed with them, and they were really grateful for all that we did for them. I went to buy the album, but it had sold out unfortunately.


ever thought I might have been taking the piss?Ever heard of smilies? Or some form off taking-the-piss notification?

[Slicksta]

Parachute was amazing fully kitted out our camp site with a generator, chairs and even a mini sound system! I picked up the CBF after its first service on sunday night it was parked right down the bottom next to a cruzer.. Switchfoot was really good live :) be nice to run into some Kbers next year

[The Pastor]

did u ride bro? im going to ride next time, they have a fenced off area that i saw bikes parked at, looked pretty secure, had a parking warden dude about 10m away.

[hXc]

I saw an FXR150 with panniers and a couple of bags on the back seat on Thursday night in the crew area. And there was an old BMW parked just inside the crew area. And another crew guy had his Ducati there which he used to get around on.

[Slicksta]

Yeah they let me park inside the fence just after they check your wrist bands. Black CBF250 if anyone saw it :)

[hXc]

No.

[hXc]

No. By backing tracks, I meant little bits of percussion and keyboards. And click tracks too.

[The Pastor]
