8 September 2017 | 4:00 pm | Staff Writer

Exhaustion and ebullience collide on the final day of Brisbane's music industry mecca.

"Where are you watching the footy tonight?"

— BIGSOUND really is one big exercise in prioritising, isn't it?

"How long does it take you to fucking pee? … Urgh, you couldn't even get it in the bowl?"
[proudly] "Nup!"

— Stay classy, public toilet bros.

"It is too early in the night for this, and It is too late into BIGSOUND for this."

— Worried delegate, on seeing dancers decked out in skull facepaint grooving at the Brunswick St mall pop-up bar.  

"Gotta walk alllllllll the way to The Empire. Let's get walking!" 

— Punter outside 256 Wickham, chugging a bottle of water in preparation for the 280-metre walk between venues.

"you're having a good look there, aren't you?"

 — Things got super intimate in the urinals last night. PS: we were not always in the bathroom.

"Gotta keep moving or I'll die."

— We feel this on a spiritual level. 

"nice pipes. you should start a male tlc."

 — Apparently one particular punter can belt out No Scrubs better than others. 

"do you want to see another band?"
"probably never again."

— Perhaps it really is possible to experience too much of a good thing. Give it a day, though. You'll be right.  

ALSO:

—  There's potentially big news for local warriors WAAX on the horizon; it would appear they've attracted quite a bit of label interest over the past few days, even meeting with a handful of prospectives after their blazing set on Tuesday night... and did our eyes deceive us, or was that a member of Violent Soho among them?
