Festivals 2013

[TillieTrotter]

Who's going where this summer?

[steveo]

I went to this one

They haven't seemed the same since

Pink Floyd and Donovan also played

[StraferJack]

2013 might be a fallow year for me festival-wise. EoTR lineup looks as decent as ever but possibly time for a break

[steveo]

I assume you'll be camped out at the V&A Strafer

[TillieTrotter]

I think I may have one more left in me. One Love line up is looking good. Anyone been?

[*Bob*]

One for the road, Tillie?

'Our group' toyed with Shambala or Boomtown for this year, but quickly concluded that when you've only got one, you need to play it safe - so it'll be Secret Garden again - accompanied the usual feeble talk of 'last one', naturally.

[TillieTrotter]

My group are all chained by little kids these days. Can I join your group Bob?

[StraferJack]

getting in before the crowds there Steveo

*Bob* - do try and catch David Icke at Secret Garden this year and report back won't you

[*Bob*]

Of course, Tillie. Meet behind the mixing desk sometime between 12pm and 8pm?

Icke - one of those things that sounds good on paper but I can't imagine it translating into anything you'd want to stay at. Unless it just happened that you were incapable of moving when he appeared.

[TillieTrotter]

I'll be sure to recognise you Bobby, look forward to seeing you then and there. Will you be supplying the stuff that makes you incapable of movement or do I bring my own?

[*Bob*]

Don't worry, I'll bring to Vimto.

[TillieTrotter]

I'll supply the pro plus.

I have nothing to add to anything on this thread so far except to request that people who spend thousands on a VW Camper please grow up and act your age.and mumford and sons can fuck off as well.

[KidKruger]

Fiddlers Grove festival, NC, for me. In May. Family that owns the land had cancelled this years for first time on decades, but have luckily changed their minds.

[Otta]

Haha, well said Woodrot!

I just find that I have absolutely no inclination to go to a festival anymore. Too many fucking annoying people cooped up in the one space.

[TillieTrotter]

I'm up for being a fucking annoying person one more time. Glad you two old fuckers aren't going to pollute my cool air with your moaning, you pair of nancies. xx

[Otta]

And yes, I'm sure I've been one of these annoyances over the years.

[TillieTrotter]

haha, cross posted with an annoying fucker.

[*Bob*]

Remember, Otta's best years are some way behind him now.

(Puts extra bar on heater, spins ashtray)

[Otta]

Oh TT, you wouldn't be one of the annoying people, because I know you.

[TillieTrotter]

Thanks darling. I hope I am slightly annoying, at my age it's my right to be! Grandma dancing and looking like shit by day 2, it's what I'm known for.

[Ted Max]

Where do festival-goers get those long flag poles from? Can you get them in Decathlon?

[woodrot]

were festivals ever kewl ?

old festivals- dirty middle class hippies with theit tops off, student acid casualties, scousers ransacking your tent 24/7, dogs on a string, heavy filth presence, shit music, lou fucking reed, screaming bikers running amok at 2AM, drizzle, everyone wearing ex geman army boots, magic mushrooms @ ?10 a pop, hash cakes, shitty blacks tents in green

New festivals - clean middle class hippies with their tops on flogging dream catchers to victims, student ket casualties, scousers ransaking your tent 24/7, dogs with bejewweld collars, heavy private security presence, shit music, mumford and fucking sons, screaming kids running amok at 2AM, drizzle, everyone wearing designer wellies, organic vegan noodles @ ?10 a pop, designer cup cakes, shitty pop up tents in Union Jack colours

[TillieTrotter]

Woodrot, you just ain't been living your life to the full. Come with me and I'll show you how it's done and loosen you up a bit.
