Here's the DickStock review by Mr. DickStock himself!
I had to twist his arm and get him drunk first (with coffee!) to squeeze this review out of him.
He professes to "hate writing". Judge for yourself that he's badly mistaken, underestimating himself tremendously! Enjoy!
Mr. DickStock:
"DickStock 02 was a smashing success, as anyone who was there {or who lives within 2KM} knows.
The number of attendees is in dispute; Police estimate 5000, organizers claim a more managable 250 or so. It might be easier to verify that 27 adults and 4 children resident on Lamma did NOT attend. All Lamma dogs were present {or seemed to be; many were lurking outside}.
It is difficult to say if there were any noise complaints. I do know that I had several very civil conversations with the local authorities, and that we were able to wrap up the live music at a reasonable hour.
People were generally well-behaved on the way home, but gravity pockets are unfortunately scattered up and down the hill on BOTH sides of the trail. Lots of casualties, none serious apparently.
Mid week I finally spoke with an eyewitness to what could have been a nasty accident. Anyone passing DickStock Acres this week may have noticed that the heavy steel guardrail and the stone base at the top of the steps have been swept away.
Apparently someone exiting the front gate at 01:30 or so misjudged the turn, leaned heavily on the rail, which collapsed in a heap of rubble. This lucky fellow apparently teetered on down the steps sideways, but did NOT follow the railing. WELL DONE, mystery man!
Missing: One cell phone (belonging to Leslie, friend of Sally {?}), one pair of flip-flops and shorts {Bastard Dan MADE me mention these} and a valuable blue Aussie Beer Cooler.
Found: One blue Moaboal Cebu Beer Cooler.
Ah Wong was prepared for DickStock with 160 crates of C-berg and some cokes and other stuff. He sold all but about 12 racks. I made a business decision to use t-shirt proceeds to buy the remainder of the beers to stockpile for any future emergency.
Geng was flippin Gengburgers from the famous Arroy Thai on Dan Quai Fong, Lamma. She and her crew were greasin' em down and whippin' em out. Two Gengburgers saved my life and kept me going for the duration. Thanks Geng!
Of 160 t-shirts, all were spoken for; many were sold, many were given to the people who made it possible, the bands, movers, volunteers and neighbors. Next time we're gonna make sure all the Lamma cops get one too. In Advance!
People have requested childrens sizes, XXL sizes, as well as more of the regular sizes. If there is interest, a reprint is possible.
I've been taking a lot of kudos all week, but the party was possible only because EVERYONE threw in their energy. Thanks to Laid, Thinking Out Loud, my beloved Yung Shue Wankers, and the old Bastards for playing a great gig for FREE. Thanks for the crowd for egging them on to new heights of depravity, and thanks for the other officials and unofficials on all levels.
Peace, Love, Lamma!!!"
