I landed in a hot Brissy day. Got off the airport and tried to get to the polish buds' hotel: Novotel. I asked at the information desk and they told me to take the Orange bus. I payed 5 bucks just to get to the international terminal cause the driver told me that on saturdays the service to the Village started at 9 am and it was just 7 am, I obviously lost those 5 bucks. Then got to the internacional terminal, wrote a text to Piotr saying that i would see him at the show. Same thing with Alex, my australian friend, I asked him to call me in any case cause he was supposed to take my bags to his hostel.
I took the train to Bowen Hills, a return ticket costed me 30 fucking bucks. RATS, RATS, RATS. Anyway, I got there and after a long while being walking, I got to the main entry. Alex got there in an hour. He took my bags and then we bought some drinks cause the day was hot as hell.
We went to the line again and managed to the front row. We had to run as fast as we could cause everyone was planning to stay the whole day for Metallica. Fortunately, my legs didn't dissapoint me at all as I was the first one catching the best spot at the rail. Alex just got next to me.
The polish buds got behind me at midday, being with them again was super nice. I had missed them a lot. During the day, Kasia stood next to me, while other people went over us fainted. Bullet For my Valentine and Stone Sour shows were fucking hardcore, the pushing was terrible, I couldn't even breath. Luckily, we were given tons of water For free, so that helped a lot.
Around 6 pm, Farzad got to the rail and I was happy to see him again. We couldnt talk that much cause there were people in between.
By the time when Metallica was about to hit the stage, I was completely destroyed, worried about my body and feeling like crap. The punishment against the rail was too much. Kasia, Alex and me were all fucked up, but the worst was truly yet to come.
When Ecstasy of Gold started, the pushing went even worse than previously in the day. I really thought that I wouldn't be able to survive during the show.
During hit the lights, I was so happy to be there again in front of my heroes, but I couldn't enjoy any of it cause I passed like 20 people over me just in that song. It was a fucking war and the end was 2 hours away. Same thing happened during the next 3 songs. Things got quiet during Harvie, hearing that song was awesome, I had been looking forward to it for a while.
Before Sanitarium, Alex left the rail cause he was feeling too bad. He said that he would meet me at the booth.
During Sanitarium, Lars found me on the crowd, he just gave a warm look with a huge smile on his face. I got a couple of shout outs during Sad, Justice and One.
Before Sandman, Kasia left the rail as well. She was about to faint, fortunately, she got out on time.
After Seek, the boys said good bye, Lars came closer, pointed at me, touched his heart and blew me a kiss. Thanked me and Piotr for travelling. At that point, we knew te whole trip was worthy. Piotr had a big smile on his face and I was probably on another planet. I had been missing Lars for so long that having the chance of seeing again was pretty amazing. I still can't believe how nice he is with me all the time, like, to every show that I've been to so far, there has been always something. I just feel blessed having such a nice and down to earth guy as hero. I couldn't love him more than what I do, probably.
After the show, completely wet, we started moving, took a few pictures with everyone and then found Alex at the booth. Me and the polish buds went to his Hostel to pick up my stuff, then took the train to the nearest station to their hotel and then just took a taxi. I splitted into their hotel room, took a shower and literally died over the bed.
i just had 4 hours to sleep. Sydney was next!
