The Post-Download "Argh me voice/neck/feet/etc" Thread

Come on then, who else is suffering post-Download?

For my part, I'm huskier than Rod Stewart with bronchitis, my sunburn's peeling, my shoulders still ache like hell, and the infamous allergic rash has only just gone down today.

More worth it than I can say though

I have a cough, voice is all croaky (although it means i can do a mean impression of the grudge) my whiplash has almost gone and i've finally woken up properly

damn that was one awesome week!!!!!!!!!

ingrid · June 19th, 2008, 06:24 AM

Katie'Force · June 19th, 2008, 06:41 AM

ingrid · June 19th, 2008, 06:52 AM

aha

than don't complain

Katie'Force · June 19th, 2008, 06:56 AM

er... why?

this was one of the most intense out of them all. it never takes me this long to recover!!!! bbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad body!!!

either that or i'm just getting old haha

but yeah voice = too much talking/singing/screaming (SHINY CHILDREN!)
chest = stupid amounts of dust inhaled
whiplash = totalled my car a couple of years ago, then my brakes failed on my work van the next day, two crashes in two days = very dangerous whiplash, so now everytime i go headbanging it hurts for days!!!! ......... why do i not have some hot guy to give me a massage

still, wouldn't change it for the world, been an awesome weekend!!!

Yeah, part of the Download experience is comparing subsequent health problems

Last year my doctor actually gave me a prescription for antibiotics before I went, because it was basically a given that I'd need them when I got back

Didn't go this year, had 3 hours of exams on Monday =/

Still got my wristband from '07 though.

Was nowhere near as good a lineup this year as '07.

ah that sucks

and yeah, line up was no where near as good, but it was still great fun, the few bands i loved that played were awesome, and the general banter was hilarious!

I warmed to the line-up actually - pretty much spent the weekend investigating bands I've heard a lot about but never got round to seeing.

Plus I had a lovely nostalgia trip on Saturday with HIM

to be honest it was nice to be able to relax for a bit this year. all previous years i've spent the whole weekend running around like a mad-woman! one year i didn't even get to the market at all. this year i got to shop, chill out in the tent at times, wander around aimlessly, and hand out hundreds of ted maul flyers... and still be able to see all the bands i wanted
