The dirtyoldDisco got invited to play at FestiVAL 2010 in a small town called Val in Mpumlanga… We made a road trip out of it… here is the story…

It’s really small, even on a map!

I rolled through to Game to get a nifty little tent (they were having a special… it was fate), packed my stuff and loaded up the gear into T-Bones car…On the way to Caryn Paryn’s flat we got to see some Eugene Terror respect art outside the University of Pretoria…

Eugene Terror!

Bravo Pizzeria!

We got Caryn, picked up some Bravo’s pizza (it’s the shiz niz… find it on South Street, Hatfield, Pretoria) and finally made it onto the highway. Check out the shenanigans after the jump!

Tea Baggins!

Caryn Paryn and I!

The R23…

We drove behind this truck for a while… it was the most exciting part of driving to Mpumalnga.

The most eXciting part of the trip…

Finally after about 2 hours we rolled into Val, set up my new bitching tent and checked out the scenery. T-Bone even pushed a hoe.

Welcome to Val!

My bitchin’ new tent!

Pushin the hoe!

The local bar, the Moeggeploegkroeg, was pretty rad. We got some drinks there, watched some bands outside there, ate some sarmies in there, rick-overed after getting too wasted with drinks from there, took crotch shots there, drew in the guest book there and welcomed the bears there.

Moeggeploeg Menu!

Rick-overing…

Crotch shots… From left to right: Myself, Caryn Paryn,  T-Bone.

T-Bone adding to the guest book…

Nice, we were there!

Chuckles and Will!

T-Bone and I played a cool set to those that were still awake enough to party with us, there were no photos, no one could see.

Saturday morning arrived and everyone felt like sh1t. I walked along the train line for a bit, checked out the town a bit more and then sat in the bar until we left. I ignored the drive home.

Feeling less than awesome…

Walking…

More of the town...

Even more…

And even more!

FestiVAL is a pretty rad little festival, it’s not too far from Gauteng and the get a way is good! I’ll see you there next year! Goodbye!

Kay bye!

^5!
