OFFSHORE 99
Torquey, Victoria (near Bell's Beach), 2nd-4th April 1999
by Haileigh Phillips

Tents, tents and more tents was all you saw as you travelled closer to the event site, tents of all sizes shapes and colours. Once you got past all the tents you saw the people who were already getting ready to spend the next 3 days having the best time they could. There was no feeling of aprehension from anyone and everyone just wanted to be merry and party. There was people from all over the world as well as all around Australia and every one of them was determined to party until tehy coudl party no more.

The bands were amazing and the crowds amazed. There were a few moments of excitement when the Chicken, Seafood adn Burgers stand caught on fire and the lead singer from Guttermouth decided to show us all his bum cheeks, but generally the atmosphere was relaxed and  friendly.

A great time was had by all and next year I'll be there again with even more of my mates to join in the fun of Offshore.
