Beautiful Days Festival 2009

[kittyP]

I'm going a bit the same way

At least its not just me

 

[William of Walworth]

Anyone else thinking of going to www.thenightbefore.org.uk as well?

Wish we could but can't

Enjoy it though, tis always fun at the Prospect the night before

 

[wiskey]

wiskey... I have cake!

yay.

we're both shift leading so cake will be a welcome relief.

 

[wiskey]

Phew.

But seriously, does it have an effect on the festival if the numbers are down?

certainly makes it more interesting from a logistics POV. But we've done festivals with 60 stewards less than we need before, we can do it again. Practically every glade we've done double shifts as we don't have enough.

 

[ethel]

note to self: don't go to glade

Bollocks. Richard Thompson has cancelled. Seth Lakeman has taken his place.

I don't know who either of those are

That's strange, you'd think there'd be loads of people hoping for a working pass into the Glade no?

That's real bollocks

I've only seen RT once. He was particularly dour and miserable at the Cambridge Folk Fest in 2001 and I was hoping for more light and shade and variety this time, he's a brilliant guitarist with quite a back catalogue ..... I'd have missed some/all of Hawkwind for him.

I've seen Seth loadsa times so I reckon Dave Brock and his fringe-Hawkwind associates/session people will draw us over this time after the Broken Family Band have finished ... our mate Karlhippy is a major HW fan and may well have some goodies ....

And nothing is impossible · In my all powerful mind?

Just woken up, off to get some milk and bread to shake off some sleep cobwebs before the mad panic of packing and faffing. Been a long time coming this festival after a tough year and looking forward greatly to having the tent up and stretching out on the grass.

 

[Stig]

Woohoo! 0 sleeps!

We're going to set off in a couple of hours, giving us ALL DAY to drive down to Devon in a leisurely fashion, ready for hobo Jones later and sleeping in a car park.

Hotel pay&display

You mean spacking out on the grass shurely?

*packs wheelbarrow*

 

[Badgers]

Possibly a little wobbly
Cider weekend I feel though

 

[rich!]

I don't believe this.

We're taking a 3G dongle so Stig can carry on running her Facebook farm while we're there...

This is wrong. Very, very wrong lol

OMG!

As I read that a woman on the radio said "wheels her wheelbarrow, through streets broad and narrow"!

Molly Malloy? Why, have you started on the party peripherals?

 

[8ball]

I know it's a bit sad but I've packed a U75 t-shirt so say hello if you see me when I'm wearing it.

Shame about Richard Thompson cancelling.

I'm taking mine too, I was too frighted to take it to EiiD as there was a critical mass of Urb's there lol Mine even has a little blue Captain badge on it. Bad spelling, should be Cpatain really

Fuck it, I was close. Sinead O'Connor sings a really nice version (then again she sings everything beautifully)

bit of an issue that people come and work, love it so much they buy a ticket the next year and go as punters.

Anyway we're about to pack the car. Its raining

 

[Biddlybee]

hope it's not raining there.

I've got at least one packed. just part of my normal wardrobe. I need some new tshirts

 

[wiskey]

I suspect we're close enough to share the same weather

Same here, truth be told.

Then do let anyone make any unnecessary movements round the site and make it muddy ok!

 

[El Jefe]

well I'm definitely going to be doing a least a bit of playing in the Pussy Parlure (the spiegeltent, which last time I went was up on the hill, dunno if it still is) as well as backstage, but I have no idea when. So erm.. I might be there. Or not.
