Last saturday, was the Twilight Youth Festival at the Quarry Arts Centre. (it's about 2 mins walk away from town.) It had local and national bands, candy floss & lollies, a lazer tag kinda game, and stuff like that :D
I went with Alyson, Greer, Bob, Alicia and my sister Sam and her friend Katey.
It was awesomeness. We went to the festival at about 3pm, and walked around, but it was firstly boring because there was gonna be fire shows and stuff when it got dark.
So Me, Alyson, Greer, Bob and Alicia went into town, and we were looking for somewhere to buy some decent food because at the festival there was only tacos and nachos and tbh i didn't feel like that.
But by this time it was like 4:30 or something like that and basically everywhere was closed.. But we also walked all around town when it was basically deserted, it was awesome :L. Aaaaand, we came across Sam and Katey walking the other way, they were walking to the festival and just coming from town. But then it was getting close to 5 and we wanted to get back to the festival.. Then Sam got annoyed a bit because she told us to get back and we were looking for a food place.. haha it was hectic really xD.
Then we were gonna walk to pak 'n' save, because of course it's open, it's a supermarket.. anyways, it was like 5 or more minutes to walk.. but we finally decided we'd go there. I bought some skof chips and a coke, yummish :3.
We were walking back to the festival and we saw Sam and Katey in Burger King (which is like 1 min away from the Quarry Arts Centre) And so we walked into Burger King. We sat in there with Sam and Katey, then realised Alyson had to go at 5:30 (before it even got dark!) And so we went back to the festival.
Then not long after Alyson had to go :( She walked down the road quickly and we didn't even know she was gone till she was nearly down the bottom of the street, she didn't say bye or anything :/ then we walked down after her, and then we got down the bottom and she was gone :o We got kinda worried actually :/ We asked the security guards if they saw a girl in a pink jacket being picked up and they said no -_-
Then i texted Mea asking her if Alyson was on msn and she said she was, so it was all good.
Then it got darker and we got out our glow sticks we bought earlier and they had awesome colours ;D
I got some thin ones that i made into a bracelet, and a big thick one on a string for a necklace. Then at 7:30 the fire show was supposed to be on but to fill in the time they had this matariki or something thingy that went waaaay overtime, so the fire show went to 8:30 instead of 8:00, when the festival was supposed to finish. And Bob, Greer and Alicia had to leave at 8pm so they didn't see all of the fire show, and only the good parts happened when they went D:
The good parts included : A guy riding a lit unicycle, girls hula hooping with lit hula hoops, and a lit skipping rope, the guy on the lit unicycle was skipping over it on his unicycle :o
