Chromeo Day 10, St. Agnes, Cornwall, UK
Today is going to be a little bit on the long side. We have to leave the hotel around noon, and there's nowhere to go except the festival site, and our set is at 11:30pm. There are worse things that could happen... I will say one thing about the hotel last night - despite the abismal sleeping conditions, the staff was really nice, even serving us breakfast about 2hrs after the kitchen was closed.
When we got to the festival, it wasn't so bad, just on the small side. There were maybe only 8 vendors, so we went through them pretty quickly. Eventually we stopped by the paintball booth to shoot a few rounds, and that was one of the highlights. One thing we ended up discovering, unfortunately a little late, was that we were a 5 min walk from the Atlantic Ocean. I went for a walk for about an hour, found some old ruins/settlements from tin miners, took some pictures and eventually made it back to the festival site.
At that point, we still had about 3 hours to kill, so, still riding high from seeing Metallica a few days ago, I started teaching the guitarist, Dave, how to play some classic Metallica riffs. It was kind of funny. He's never liked Metallica but he was totally in to it. And that pretty much brought us to the show. Small festival, small crowd, but whatever, it was fine. After it was over, we drove about 2.5 hrs to a hotel so we could avoid staying at the same one as last night.
