Is anyone going to this in Hamilton Near the end of January. I'll be going and if someone else is then it'd be cool to meet up somewhere.

That's the drug taking, sexed crazed, Christian rock festival? No, unfortunately - I could get arrested for being too old....

Nah it hasn't but usually they have what's called a pump tent. It's a tunnel which shoots water at you and all the girlies in white tops

I'm a Christian but hardly go to church (Up to 10 times a year sort of thing) and I can't stand people that preach and force their beliefs upon other people. That is not what it is about.

Parachute, surprisingly is not all that Christian. Yes, you can go to seminars or certain stages etc where people 'preach the word' but you don't have to. You can keep totally away from those parts and still have a great time. For me, Parachute is not about God or Christianity. It is about one hell of a good weekend filled with music, mates and good times.

I might have to re think giving you that ticket boy.. Haven't you heard anything your father told you- if its got tits or tyres, it will send you broke!

Well I can't get water in my ear so I stay away from that anyway. In the day I just lax out at the tentsit 'cause there isn't anything else to do and it's too bloody hot!
