Beautiful Days Festival 2009

[William of Walworth]

Still, plenty of time to change I suppose...

Indeed, and all the prospects are volatile at the moment. Which is just as well in terms of offering some hope, because right now Metcheck for Exeter is highly indifferent (not a washout, just deeply meh .... )

After last year's Escot mudbath, we're needing improvements to Endorse It type levels!

Usual parking spaces yeah?

Toss a coin and it just might land on its edge!!

Different land though, so doesn't drain quite as well... and the main arena is kind of in a valley

All the more need for improvements to the forecast then ....

This will be our last festival this year, and I'm really praying for dry .....

Any BD veterans know if they have lock-ups? Nothing on the website to say there will be. Looking forward to my first trip to Escot but would love to know I've got half a chance of ending the weekend without losing my house keys/bank card/Oyster/life in the usual drink and drugs-fuelled misadventures.

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

Bring it on! Getting proper excited now after the EiiD fun and comedown. Now prepared to do it all again

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

Badgers, can you add a poll to the thread? I wanna see what Urb's are going

 

[AndyO'C]

Sure you'll all enjoy the park we had as our local for the last few years

Been to BD 3 times, just for a few hours each year and it feels like a fun one.

oooh, I quite fancy a pint of Otter. O'Hanlons would be better, being ever so slightly more local

Job done.

Looking forward to this in five sleeps time.
My only festie of 2009 and really need this one to unwind.
My next three working weeks are 3 days, 2 days and 4 days.

I don't recall there being any from previous years mate. I use something like this
Keep it safe for wallet, key's, phone etc and haven't lost stuff since using it . Physically attaching stuff stuff to me is the only way I still have it the next day!

I seem to recall you lost your dignity last year

Looking forward to the festie but looking forward to making lists more

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

Actually it's a bit more like this Wallet, keys, phone carpets etc

I left that behind when I knew we were going with you!

Weirdo

Weirdo

We can do the lists in Excel and stuff?

 

[Stig]

So, does anyone want to drive my ambulance down to the festival, in exchange for, er, a free lift down there? Could also throw in random tea and breakfast.

This is my master plan for never having to drive.

 

[Badgers]

Good offer there Stiggy, shame the police do not like me driving

Another request is that I might need to borrow a rucksack from someone.

 

[El Jefe]

thing is, Pieface has no interest in going, so even if i had a lift i'd have to drag so much stuff down, and then have about 4-5 bands I wouldn't mind seeing. I'd get paid for doing it, but not much more than I'd end up spending.

If Pieface could go, I might - it's a nice atmosphere and last time I just enjoyed sitting around with mates in the sun and ignoring all the fiddly-fucking-dee. But avoiding The Saw Doctors and camping by yourself is no fun

 

[El Jefe]

i'm wavering. save me the effort, how's the weather looking?

 

[Badgers]

Don't bother going, I can't stand any more of your pithy reviews

Actually if you don't go then you can Fedex me your rucksack and we both win?

Weather is looking much like last weekend

Is it motorways you don't like Stig? You can do the journey all by A roads although the 1st bit on the A3 outside London is three lane for a way but dead easy route and a nicer drive than the motorway imo.

Dunno, never been on one yet.

Nah, it's the actual driving. It's being in control of a thing that might kill you and everyone around you.
It's the same as not being scared of heights on a building but being terrified of ladders: if you die it's your own fault for letting go.
