St. Polten

Off to a techno trance festival in St. Polten Austria for days of camping in beautiful weather! Or so I thought. The trip from Landshut to St. Polten started off beautiful and sunny but got progressively worse as I neared the town where the festival was being held. Kiwi and Moni met me there and thanks to Moni's job as a reporter I got a free VIP 3 days pass to the festival. A friend of mine that I met in Scotland joined up later and we enjoyed a live set by Infected Mushroom, an amazing DJ. We decided not to camp the 1st night because it was really raining hard and we got a room at a bed and breakfast in town. The second day I was expecting the festival to be in full swing, but it ended up not opening until 6 pm. So after setting up the camp and securing our belongings, we ventured into town to get supplies. It was only a short bus ride into town and we loaded up on food and beer. The town was quaint and beautiful and was apparently not prepared for the festival at all. That night Faithless, one of my all time favorite electronic groups played, and even though it was pouring....loads of faithful fans of faithless stood in the rain and listened to an amazing 2 hr set. The weather finally broke the last day and I was able to see Paul Van Dyk, arguably the worlds most famous DJ, play an amazing set.....My friend Amanda woke me just in time to catch him! Now...off to Bratislava.
