you got fever?
I'm totally cool - but mostly still sleepy from fighting and drinking all weekend
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 22:20, Reply)

Yeah, post-festival lurgy
extras include buckets of phlegm and a lovely sexy raspy voice.

Oh wow cool like. That sounds fun. I drank 2 days out of my extended weekend and had to deal with Gallows fans, not monsters, but I can see the parallels ;)

ah
I drank 3 nights. But I think mead is just good for you. As is Pimms, vodka, port, red wine, and whatever other shit people were passing round.

Fake fighting often makes for less injuries than festivals. Which one Reading or Leeds?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 22:27, Reply)

PIMMS YES I LOVE PIMMS
Mead in the words of Neil Gaiman tastes of "drunken diabetic's piss".

I was working at Leeds, being a "friendly face of the festival" and not erally doing much apart from turning people who pretended to have one leg away from the disabled toilets.

It depends which mead you get
Moniak is the king of mead - it's much drier that the stuff you get in Christmas markets and it makes you giggley

I always fancy reading/leeds but it clashes with the biggest larp event of the year. Who was good?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 22:33, Reply)

Arcade Fire and Los Campesinos
Darwin Deez were a good new act (for me), to see the Libertines is probably quite impressive nowadays what with Smackhead Pete being a twat (still don't like them much), and Metronomy are excellent, as usual.

I avoided Blink (see below) and Asshole Rose.

Anything with choreographed dance routines, flashing chest lights
or Regine Chassagne gets a thumbs up from me.

Yes yes I was
Did you do it, or know anyone who did?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 22:45, Reply)

Nearly did it a few years back.
They wanted folk signing up to do 12 hour shifts, have immaculate clothes and perfect appearance at all times, not drink or smoke even on their time off, and travel to/from, camp and live on the site entirely at their own expense; all this for the minimum wage less a 30% agency fee. Oh, and you were expected to be front-line security too.

Despite all that, it was only four solid days of torrential rain in the week leading up to the event that led to me backing out in the end.

Bloody hell
We were Oxfam, though we weren't supposed to drink 5-6 hours before we went on shift no one really gave a fuck. We weren't paid though, but it was a good laugh.

My friends who worked security sounded like hell :(

I have always fancied
holding a 'reading' festival in the same area, on the same weekend. See how many people I can sell hugely expensive tickets to, to see a load of people reading books.

I think I should go to bed.

You should have a sister festival

The security lady I was working with had had an amp thrown at her by one of them
and the lead guy used to get tattoo'd on stage.

Not much bad happened, I just had to do a little bit of motherly care with a damp tissue adn lots and lots of blood.
