The underground rock concert in the Bush.

We heard about an alternative music concert that was being held in Gisborne over the easter weekend. We purchased tickets from a punk skater shop and were given directions to the concert. We left at 7pm for the concert and followed the directions provided. Soon we were out of the city limits, then down a dark single lane road that transistioned into a gravel road, that transistioned into a farm track that terminated in a sheep field (with no lights save one that was set up near the ticket/bag check). We left the car in the field and hiked up this steep inclined track closed in by trees which blocked out any moonlight available...we were walking in pitch black conditions... As we walked, perhaps a quarter of a mile you could begin to hear music coming from over the ridge. Eventually we arrived at the venue - in a clearing with stars for the ceiling and trees/brush/bird calls for the walls and in the middle a raving group of drunk and stoned uni students. The music was crap but the experience of this underground performance was priceless. When we left t 11 or so as we were drivingback down the long gravel road we came upon a couple dressed for an eveining in town... not the boon docks. We offered them a lift and ended up taking them to the hospital as one of them was obviously tripping out on something extreme "P"? He couldn't stop chewing his lip..."do you guys have any gum" he kept asking. ha ha.
