OZZFEST

Was my birth-day on the 27th Aug. Went for Ozzfest!!! Was Freaking amazing. The bands were killer like, Soilwork, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Rob Zombie, The Haunted, Black Label Society, Etc. But there was more to this day then great bands and a amazing music. The setting. Temperature 49°C(120°F) No clouds what so ever. US$3.50 a 700ml(24Oz)cup of water. So now you're engulfed by the heat, dehydration and when in the pit, not much oxygen. Wardrobe Black T-shirt, Black denim 3/4 shorts, black socks and shoes. 1st to 4th band no problem enjoying myself. Now next band is coming on stage. Dehydration kicking in. Get one cup of water. I'm good to go. Another 2 bands and its Mastodon. Well lets get in the pit. 4 song short of breath with a heard of body heat. Chest hurting. Throat sore. Left the pit walking to the stand. Line was a mile long. Or I was getting delusional. Never mind walked down to the main shops
, no line or just 100 meters long. Walk seemed to streatch on and on. Feeling giddy. Time to sit down, instead I just black out felt like I was asleep. Woke up half an hour later under a bush
Dazed Remembering I wanted water. Drag my beat up excuse for a body, to the shop get water. *Ching*US$3.50.
Go back not feeling better though Nauseous. Stomach feeling weird. I i have not eaten all day. Buy a hot dog *Ching*US$4.00. Walking back killswitch is on time for the pit. Woah Feeling weird, walk away. Blank out again Wake up in medical tent with vomit on my shoes. Was told that I vomited and they dragged me there I had gotten the heat stroke. Woke up with out my shirt and stomach felt weird, felt so violated.
