So Phamzy, Ginger, Me & Chris were going to meet up with Josh and his mates at Birrarung Marr to do it. After getting there around 2:30pm in the arvo, we found out that everyone who had legit. tickets received a fluoro yellow arm band...and anyone in the arena without one was getting chucked out by security. A couple of Josh's mates had already jumped and been chucked out multiple times by the time we got there (loL). The problem was that, the place wasn't even packed...it was pretty empty inside, so even if we jumped, there was no crowd to hide in! There was a double fence...not too high..so jumping would've been fine...the difficult thing would be to stay in once we've made it over the fence.
After loitering around for an hour or so drinking jager & red bull and watching Josh and his drunken mates shit talk to the security guards...we decided that it was time to DO IT! The first fence was simple...straight over...no problems at all...BUT, the second fence had mesh over it...so I couldn't actually climb up high enough to get my legs over. There was not enough room to do a run up between the first and second fence either, so I was literally hanging there for a while trying to wiggle my body up....damn the lack of arm muscles! Eventually...I just decided to fling and flop my self over...kinda like doing a somersault over the fence. I somehow managed to hit my nose really badly after I flipped over and was a bit dazed...then I opened my eyes only to have Chris' shoes swing past the front my face..and no joke it was like 1cm away. I just stood there in shock loL!!
Anyhoo...we were IN...and started walking away from the fence towards the hill to a stage. There were 3 stages: Headquarters-right next to the fence's we'd just jumped along the Yarra, Academy (house/elecktro) & Platoon (hard trance). Both Academy and Platoon were up a massive hill away from the fence...so we made our way over there. During our walk up.....like 5mins after we'd jumped, Phamzy and Josh got intercepted by security guards straight away...Josh ran way...but Phamzy wasn't so lucky!
About 10mins later when we made our way to Platoon...I got intercepted by a security guard as well while Ginger & Chris quickly kept on walking and disappeared into the crowd. I was totally creamin' my pants. I just started shit talking...saying that my wrist band was too tight, so another security guard said that I could take it off and just get a new one...and that i just hadn't done it...blah...blah... He obviously didn't believe me...and he was trying to make me find Ginger and Chris as well...so he escorted me around "looking for them"....but really I was just walking around randomly bobbing the music while I was at it (ROFL)! So then I asked him whether he could just take me somewhere and give me a new wrist band, and he said that I'd have to have prove of purchase. So I said that Ginger had my wallet so I had to find her then...so we just ended up walking around the stage for ages trying to "look for" Ginger and Chris (loL).
As this was going on...about 20 guys tried to jump one of the fences near the Academy tent and they pushed the whole fence to the ground. So there was chaos all around. I got passed over to another female security guard who was a bit nicer, so I just chatted to her really casually and she didn't care at all! Eventually I called Ginger and spoke to her in Mando, telling her to get Aya or Phong (both of her friends who were there with legit. tickets) to come find me so that I can use their tickets for a wrist band. So, Aya found me...but their tickets were taken away from them at the gate and they didn't keep the stub...so that was no use. However, she did have her receipt in her car @ FedSquare. By this time even the nice female security guard was like...OK...I'm just gona take youz to the gate now. So we were taken to the gate and I had to speak to this massive Islander dude, who seemed like the head of security. I just kept shit talking, asking whether Aya can get a pass out so that she can go to her car to get the receipt to prove that I had purchased a ticket, blah..blah..blah, it was so funny.
After all that shit talk...the head of security just caved and gave me a wrist band (loL), coz it was just too complicated! SO YAY! I WAS FREE TO ROAM THE GROUNDS OF WANKY DEFCON!! I found Ginger & Chris and we just partied...eventually as the day went on...everyone was able to some how find other people's tickets to get wrist bands...and Phamzy's mates got him one too...so it was all sweet...and we just danced the whole day away, while laughing at all the wanky dancers in the crowd to...it was very HERO like :)
