Oppikoppi 2010

Oppikoppi!!!!!! damn what can i say. Now that Woodstock is gone and all the other festivals are kinda still trying to make their mark up here in Gauteng. This is the big one!

Im goin to try and explain a day at oppikoppi, for the people who... well... do it like we do. im sure almost everyones experience is different.

Ok, its a beautiful day, we just started drinking and made the whole world a bit more intense and pretty. That works well at oppikoppi, cus there are some rad sights, if you're looking.


We just make sure we make it through the day with as much laughs as we can.


The good times continue loosing the plot with some friends, i guess, that you're really only partying with for the first time.








Now she might have lost the plot a bit more than was neccasary at this point in the day.

We all come off it sumtime, and as the sun sets we pretend like we're civilized, and having sundowner cocktails... to be honest, there were only tequila for mix, so that is basically, tequila and some lemon flavoured ice...

We've gone through the liners and move-on-up to the bar, where you're sure to find all of your friends, some that only start partying now, and some that shouldve stopped looooong ago.

This part of the night is actually the raddest, cus you walk in to people that you havnt seen, probably since the last oppikoppi and you're not too fukd yet so you can actually still have a conversation that consist mostly of the word shhhhmllaaaaaaghnnessshhs.

I promise i tried to hold it off for as long as i could, but then one person goes, SHOTS! and the night will not be the same. (This is while im pretending i havnt finished a bottle during the day and shots are awfull). LIE! I love them, i think i can actually taste the cactus from the tequila by now, like whiskey connoisseurs can taste the oak from the barrel it was in and blah blah blah....

Then we usually loose everyone and go through many many many many many friends and friend groups to finally end up with the one's you've been partying with in the beginning again. With some casualties, due to passing out or hooking up or other planets interested them more.

Thats right after Hunter through up on a girl by the way, hahahahahahaha!!!

This is where things get waaaaay too much, just people and people.... and nobody gives a fuk anymore, i two guys doing lines off the pool table right by the bar, in front of like 500 people, and i dont think anyone even went.... "meh"

After the the whole night of debauchery, we finally sat in a guy called Jordin Gin's car at 5am still stuck with side kicks, accepting that none of us are going to sleep that nite, just laughing our asses off and talking shit. I even attempted to leave once, going "fuk this, i need to sleep!!!" only to walk like 20m then coming back and im like, "shit, you know how boring its goin to be by my tent... and you guys are way too much fun!!!" then carrying on...

the sadness does kinda hit you at like 10am tho... but then i walk in to freddie again, where the previous day started and the conversation broken down is something like: "So, what are we goin to do tonite Pinky?" and then it starts all over again.

I think i might have slept like 6 hours in from thursday till monday, so it was a rough one, but aaaaah, a shower then a bath then bed is soooooo good after that i almost never woke up again...

I do think tho that there might have been too many people this year, and that the whole thing has become too commercial. I got to this conclusion when i saw a super poppie girl, walk with a sunday cocktail dress and her priss handbad and high heels over the dirt road, being all, these drunk people are so annoying... I wanted to ask her if she was lost. and then there were more and more.... those are the people that kill rock'n'roll!!

Well, hope we see you there next year!!
