Almost drowned at Sydney Festival

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane was going to play at the Sydney Festival yesterday (Saturay, 14th, February 2012) open air in The Domain and for free. We were surely willing to see the front man of Faith No More.  Unfortunately, the weather was not promising and luckily we got prepared at least a bit. Already on our way to the event we got caught in pouring rain. Equipped with a tiny umbrella and one poncho we caught up with friends, grabbed a beer and waited for the band.
Well prepared for an open-air concert in Sydney's summer. No, it is not sun protection. It is rain protection.

For a while, the weather got better. This was before the band started.

When Mike Patton and band entered the stage it was pouring rain. For a couple of minutes it was still fun.
After playing a couple of songs, Mike Patton's Mondo Cane disappeared from the stage again. They go soaking wet as well. Being on stage with all the electronic devices in a strong rain shower is probably not too good. Anyway. When they returned about 30 min later, many people had left already. We were still eager to see the show. But as it started to rain again and we got more and more wet, we decided to leave as well. What a shame!
