³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Literally still buzzing from the weekend! Couldn't really sleep last night, so much to think about, so much to write about, so much to talk about. I'm literally beating myself currently for not taking a camera with me (EXCUSE: analogue girl in a digital world!).. I've been informed that I was allowed to be as over excited as I was, because it was my first ever R1 Big Weekend, but if I'm honest I didn't see one face that wasn't genuinely beaming to be there...

For example.. R1 DJ's, that have been to the Big Weekend before sprinting from stage to stage to intrduce acts, present shows, chat to press, and Swindonians alike, generally working their butts off with glee. I've decided to list my favourite moments... I will hunt down more pics, for now paint the pics in your head and listen again to when Trev let me join him on his Saturday show...

FRIDAY - SET UP DAY:

A local school was getting a tour of the site being set up and literally SCREAMING at Chris Moyles dressed in a suit on a golf buggy!

Pretending to be in a band and taking over ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing Stage...

SATURDAY - LET IT BEGIN:

Florence and the Machine's acoustic in ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing tent on Saturday, including Edith Bowman's heartfelt introduction. But at the same time, enjoyed the pant flashing main performance on the New Music Stage equally.

Seeing JLS gyrating on top of the Switch bus. So much soo, that Dellessa and I happily wore our JLS hoodies into the early hours... Look at pic below.

Exchanging general joke with Dizzee Rascal.

Having a proper rave up moment with my friends to 2Many DJ's on the Outdoor stage.

INBETWEEN - OFF DUTY:

Getting a lift with a local hippy called Jake the Jugglar to the hotel for drinks with Tom Deacon and his Switch team!

SUNDAY - REALLY IN THE ZONE:

Trevor discovering his inner rock and roll side and sporting a stubble on Sunday morning!

Running up to do 'Heads Sholders knees and Toes' on the Outdoor stage followed by R1 producer, Dellesa doing the Tribal Skank on stage.

Feeling the celebratory vibes and dancing with Ras Kwame and Twin B's twin to Tinchy and Dappy perform 'Numba 1' live .

Intense head bobbing from various astonished people watching Gossip from the side of the stage including Ladyhawke (who'd earlier perfomed on the same stage)...

Meeting a Swindonain lady with a giant pink afro wig on.

Meeting another Swindonian lady that offered her bra up for Trevor (listen to the show, to know what I mean!).

Getting addicted to Becky cam.

Watching Dappy and friends brazenly approaching the prettiest girls in the guest area.

Akon and Shontelle going past on the back of a golf buggy, giggling.

Dev's illuminous earplugs.

I am overall exhausted yet invigorated... I would like to do it again sometime!
