So you know the grounds all around the polytech are gravel? So don`t step out of your room without your jandals - OUCH. Everyone`s down in the dumps so we had our own festival night with an open mic where all the performers got up and did their thing - absolutely hilarious! There`s a lot of clowns in this camp man, not mentioning any names Jo Harawira and Solomon King! The musos have been jamming every night, and we`ve found this wicked sports bar around the corner where all the locals go - it`s rough as guts and we love it!!! They have steinlager... FINALLY it was our first day at the festival village yesterday, the sun finally came out and it was fabulous. All the countries fales look amazing, theres a stage which goes all day with different entertainment from all over the pacific, the stalls are amazing - so many beautiful and inspiring things. There`s lots of hot, hot, hot people over here, all oiled up and ready for action! And WOOHOO the programme arrives, oh damn, it`s completely wrong days and wrong shows. Well, I`m on either tonight, tomorrow or Monday - will keep you posted. Welcome to American Samoa!
