I               realised               that               from               the               time               I               landed               in               Birmingham               ,               England               ,               I               had               only               3               hours               to               get               checked               into               my               hotel               and               get               ready               until               the               1st               interview               with               Devin               Townsend.

I               just               had               a               carry               on               bag               with               my               3               days               worth               of               clothes               and               a               few               extras.

I               was               just               so               excited               since               I               only               heard               great               things               about               Bloodstock.

After               I               checked               in,               it               was               time               to               sleep.


               As               soon               as               I               arrived               in               Birmingham,               my               friend/camera               guy,               picked               me               up               &               we               had               a               coffee               at               the               airport               with               my               all               time               favourite               garnish               a               flake               chocolate               bar!!!

We               took               off               to               the               bed               and               breakfast               that               was               booked               for               us               called               the               Atholl               Lodge.
               
               It               was               about               20               minutes               from               the               airport               and               30               minutes               from               the               Caton               Hall..where               Bloodstock               Festival               took               place.

As               soon               as               we               arrived,               the               owner               was               rather               nice               and               gave               us               lovely               rooms               all               the               way               at               the               top               of               the               building...I               actually               had               my               own               shower               &               bathroom               in               my               room               .

I               had               a               rather               cozy               room               and               just               a               I               was               getting               ready               to               take               a               cat               nap               before               work,               I               looked               at               the               clock               and               realised               I               had               30               minutes               to               throw               myself               together               and               head               over               to               Bloodstock               to               get               to               work.

As               soon               as               I               was               ready,               we               drove               to               the               venue.

There               were               loads               of               detours               along               the               way,               which               made               us               a               tad               late.

However,               as               soon               as               we               arrived,               we               were               able               to               take               a               shuttle               bus               from               the               media/vip               parking               to               the               venue               (10               thumbs               up               for               that               since               NO               OTHER               festivals               offers               this               convenience).

After               we               got               our               credentials,               it               was               off               to               the               media               tent               which               was               well               organised               with               tables,               wifi               and               electrical               outlets               and               a               lot               of               Bloodstock               banners.

I               had               about               15               minutes               to               kill               so               I               decided               to               walk               around               and               see               what               was               outside.

There               were               lots               of               benches               for               people               to               gather               around               and               chat.

The               Vip               tent               had               a               full               bar,               lots               of               seating               area               and               a               lovely               barbeque               to               the               left               with               various               items               ,               all               of               which               were               reasonably               priced.
               
               I               saw               some               amusement               park               rides,               which               encouraged               me               to               leave               the               VIP               area               and               walk               around               the               main               grounds.

There               were               about               4-5               wild               amusement               park               rides               that               were               set               up               and               were               inexpensive               as               well               to               go               on.

I               knew               that               was               on               my               list               of               to               do               things!!!

These               were               not               shabby               at               all;               they               were               very               stable               and               well               run.

The               Jagermeister               stand               was               not               too               far               off.

There               were               miscellaneous               clothing               stands               and               music               stands               and               Earache               records               had               a               nice               stall               as               well.

There               were               a               few               ice               cream               trucks               ...yum!!!
               The               food               varied               from               hamburgers,               roasted               pig               to               fish               n               chips               to               veggie               burgers               and               Asian               food...again               all               reasonably               priced               for               fans..which               makes               Bloodstock               a               festival               where               you               get               more               value               for               your               money.
               The               stages               were               set               well               apart               from               one               another               so               fans               could               enjoy               all               of               the               music               clearly               and               not               as               one               big               blur.
               
               This               really               felt               like               more               of               one               big               fun               place               to               be               for               the               weekend               with               lots               and               lots               of               great               music               and               friends               catching               up               with               friends               from               around               the               world.

People               were               smilng               and               greeting               each               other               &               it               was               clear               people               were               there               to               work               as               a               team.
               I               had               to               go               back               to               the               media               area               for               the               1st               interview               of               the               day               with               Devin               Townsend.

I               was               escorted               to               the               trailer               he               was               in               and               noticed               there               was               a               tattoo               stand               and               piercings               as               well.

It               was               set               up               well               and               very               clean               and               the               people               that               worked               there               were               rather               talented.

This               was               a               great               idea               for               the               performers               who               did               not               have               time               to               normally               get               tattoos               done               while               touring               and               a               great               opportunity               for               the               tattoo               artist               and               the               piercer               to               get               their               portfolio               bigger               and               their               work               on               people               in               the               public               eye..very               smart               move               on               Bloodstock's               part..this               was               starting               to               give               me               more               of               a               festival               feeling               and               a               most               of               all               a               feeling               of               just               an               all               around               well               run               and               great               festival.
               As               soon               as               my               interview               with               Devin               was               over,               I               proceeded               back               to               the               media               tent               and               all               of               a               sudden,               I               ran               into               an               old               friend               Tom               G               Warrior               (Celtic               Frost               &               Tryptkon)               and               had               set               up               an               interview               with               him               and               also               had               a               chance               to               catch               up               on               just               things               in               general.

               I               was               able               to               watch               some               of               the               younger               bands               on               the               New               Blood               stage               and               I               also               had               the               chance               to               see               WASP               (the               headliner               for               Friday)               play               the               main               stage.

The               main               stage,               Ronnie               James               Dio               stage,               was               well               packed               but               people               were               clearly               enjoying               the               show.

There               did               not               seem               to               be               ay               pushing               or               hostility               between               people...unlike               most               festvals               I               have               been               to               and               people               were               just               rude               to               one               another.

There               was               a               great               harmony               amongst               fans.
               The               good               thing               was               that               fans               could               walk               around               and               check               out               the               stands.

Many               of               the               band               members               checked               out               the               main               festival               area               and               took               photos               with               fans.

It               was               a               very               friendly               experience.

               I               have               to               admit,               I               was               unsure               about               having               a               great               day               &               being               awake               for               everything               ...

               As               for               fans,               I               know               that               there               are               so               many               festivals               in               the               UK               and               Europe,               but               this               genuinely               worth               saving               up               for.

Besides,               there               are               so               many               cheap               ,               cozy               and               clean               bed               and               breakfasts               near               the               event.
