Took a bit too warm up but damn was last half of his show awesome!

My UK girl of 2009, and boy did she live up to all expectations. Absolutley owned "Womanizer" which was an added bonus. Britney only wished she could sing it, live even like this!

Such a great day, although wish our phones hadn't died so we could have seen Lily together :)
I love how at a music festival 2 people can go and have totally different days. My day was so focussed on Oz Rock - yours was almost the complete opposite! Such fun. My highlight was definitely Eskimo Joe, they are always so good and they were the only band I went back and saw yesterday. Only bummer was Amber passing out during their set on Sat! Loved Lily's Womaniser, I said basically the same thing as you did, turned to Amber and said 'so that's what it sounds like live' lol
xxxoooxxx
This sounds like such fun. So you really like The Temper Trap? I should check out their album.
Funny how that third line of Chinese characters appears to spell "Sex."
