I am on the bus to the airport at 7:15 AM entoute to Open University of the Netherlands and the Ticer Digital Libraries course in Tilburg, NL. I am pretty foggy due to lack of sleep (no alcohol was involved). I was at OzzFest with Brent yesterday.
Pictures and Video
OzzFest is amazing – it is like a controlled explosion – it is like a real festival – starts at noon and goes to midnight with about 10 bands – finishing up with Ozzy Osborne.
We had a good time – early in the day they do less well kinown bands at the second-stage and there is a continuous mosh pit – you come and go as you like and get as close as you like / dare. We watched two bands with rest periods in between. We got close to a mosh pit – about four layers of people away – at one point a dude came flying out in our general direction and scattered the people and almost knocked us all down. Just close enough to get a sense – not so close to be in any dnager.
We moved at a slow pace because of Brent’s crutches so we walked and sat a lot.
As the day moved into evening, we switched to the main stage – five great bands -I kept in my earplugs 50% of the time to make sure I could hear Ozzy :). We had great seats with good sight lines – and thank heaven we were not on the lawn.
Ozzy was great – all in all a great way to spend the last day o summer vacation.
The bus is pulling up to Detroit Airport so I have to cut this short.
