I find it tiring to listen to people who sit in their comfy zones and complain as the world passes them by, how will positive change come about if we sit back - now even though I blog so seldom - I think its time to air my opinion on the world once again. I recently attended the Coke Zero Rock Fest - It was more a Zero Rock than anything else. However having gathered my grievences to the official "Coke fest blog" Maybe its the word BLOG that my eyes start to twinkle. So the head it by saying - did it rock or not -So, if you attended the Coca Cola Zero Fest 2009, let us know in the comments below which event you attended, what bands you liked or disliked, what you thought of the venue and anything else you want to add.

Comment away!

I mean COMMENT AWAY!!!

So I did and it was actually the second time I had posted the same post and the first time someone left a comment saying - PFFT.... Cindy if you cannot afford it dont go . However this was not my overall problem - So they asked for it - Likes and dislikes and thats what I gave them - only for people to give a mouthful back --- PFFFT back at them ....so here is my letter in its entirety: If anyone has a problem with spelling in the following letter please go to www.cindys owndictionaryWHATEVER...................com.....

mmmmmmm well in all honesty perhapes if I was a millionaire and could afford the drinks (alcholic and non) well it might have been a little more pleasant due to the numbing effect, of the drinks. I suppose i should start with COKE - your advertising was amazing clearly you could not miss the fact that coke was a sponsor. However R10 for a coke or water - come on guys what do we look like - our economy is already bad however you ripped us off. FREE dodge water if you were squished in front is what you gave us………. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING….. A few button badges and some sweeties oh yes and a plastic braclet did not make me feel very special. The problem is that no one saw a mention of BIG Concerts (except on our pink badges) SO all the complaining was against COKE - and it is seen as a COKE only function. Jack Daniels . . . R30 for a shot ARE YOU FOR REAL…… oh yes with a R10 coke, my wallet thought it knew the word BARE however you guys gave new meaning to this word. BIG CONCERTS My hubby and I see few luxeries in life however bought our tickets nearly 2 months before so we could be GOLDEN CIRLCLE ooooooooo, only to find that tickets were not only being sold the day before the concert but golden circle pink bands were handed out by big bouncers to “pretty chicks” I dont think I have EVER experienced that amount of people in a golden cirlcle in my entire life. It was like a stampede & perhapes for the big boys upstairs this would be a huge “profit” for them as a South African (of not the richest class) felt appaulded by the conditions we had to endure for the day. Getting out of the circle was a joke - as people got angry and agressive with people around them standing on their things. And who can blame them - and i was at the only little tree in the circle the whole eveing and witnessed people becoming so angry i was shocked - even the band dirt skirts had a nasty run in with a man behind me that would not let them pass. My hubby could not even get out to go to the loo. He eventually came back upset and said he would wait. Security could not handle the stampede coming in and out of that circle. I was stopped 3 times in one go going in to have my bag checked as hundreds passed by me without a word…??? Location - was not bad - i felt it was closer than the last venue (me coming from pta) and parking was handled well - lighting was execlent too. BANDS Our SA bands should really really be chosen with utmost consideration - as we go on stage with international bands, Besides one or so of our 5 bands I was dissapointed and amused that we could put such amatuer bands on stage (how embarresing) that afrikaans / arabian band - I did not even know he was singing Afrikaans till about 3 songs in - I actually asked my friend what language he was singing. Snow patrol and panic were very good - they had a stage presence that was amazing - OASIS was dissapointing - giving us the feel that they were there only because they choose to be - thousands left by about their 4th song. But that is no ones fault. Overall I thought after paying R600 for a ticket and being made to feel no more special than the Joe next to me - I am dissapointed in how it all went down. And not only that i am so bankrupt now its not funny - I am amazed however no one else has said anything about this since I overheard many people complaining.

SO thats it ..... Honest and direct but too the point, i thought anyway ..........Change only comes about when we are not complacent. DUH!!!

Anyway my rant and rave was good ........... i feel a peace falling over me ...... thanks
