I got a festival job!!!

I’m HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! I just got an e-mail from Rockparty telling me I got a job at this years Hultsfred festival! That means I get a free ticket!!! Thank god for that because the tickets are fucking expensive! Hultsfred is probably the most expensive of all the swedish music festivals.

My job will be as a runner and as a operator of the scene spotlights. Runner basicly means that I’ll do errends for people during the construction of the festival area before the festival starts and also… clean the toilets during those days. I hope there’s more running than cleaning… The spotlight job is to operate the spotlights following the artists on the stage. That could be a lot of fun! The very thought of it makes me nervous as hell though because I’ll be working at Hawaii; the biggest stage of the festival. The stage where the biggest artists like “Babyshambles”, “Rage against the machine” and “HIM” will play! But even though it kinda freaks me out a bit I’m happy because the runner/spot job was the job I wanted! :D I also applied for a general construction job which involved putting up fences, painting and things like that but that was my second choice.

I think this job will be a lot more fun than the job I had last year. Last year I was security at a gate and my job was to make sure only people with access got through. The gate had such a location that barely any people passed through so I basicly sat in the grass and counted the minutes. Once for five hours in the middle of the night in the pouring rain. I almost wished someone would try to climb the fence or whatever just so something would happen. It was a painfully boring job. So guess if I’m happy over this years job!

Happy, happy, happy!

  1. Wow that job sounds sweet, minus the cleaning. If we apply for a job at a festival we usually get lame jobs like garding the campings or parking spaces. And yay HIM! I wish I could see them one day. Don’t drop a spotlight on ville though, I will kill you XD

  2. Visst är det? Jag har inte upplevt det som så fruktansvärt, men nu när jag inte har linserna i så är det en enorm skillnad. Grattis till jobbet, by the way! Något särskilt band du är intresserad av? Jag ska också dit, men med bekostad biljett. ^_^

  3. wow, congratulations.
    that sounds really really exciting. I’ve never seen HIM play live before, but I hear they’re actually really solid, like they have a lot of fun.

  4. Your working at Hultsfred festival?
    That’s so cool!
    Babyshambles are going to be there?
    I really wish I was you at the moment….

    Sorry for not replying to your comment sooner, but at my (Catholic) school, their pretty neutral when it comes to religion. But lately we haven’t had many lessons based on other religions, were learning about how the Catholic Church started…..

  5. ooh that sounds fun!I would love to do concerts but I can’t be on my feet that long.I would like the password for your protected entry!sorry I haven’t commented in a while but things have been stressful and hectic around here.
