Boomtown 2012

[stuff_it]

bar workers do less hours iirc (12 I think)

I fucking hate bar work though

I'm vaguely looking into it. Reckon if it's meant to happen it will.

 

[lizzieloo]

I might be coming to Boomtown as my hen do

It was pointed out by an old friend that it'd just be rude not to

I'm now having to save up all my dog sitting money, I feel like a teenager

 

[sim667]

OMGz! If i ever get made unemployed im gonna be a dog sitter! I want a dog, but cant because of work!

 

[lizzieloo]

No other job would take as long to save for a ticket though.

If you're worried about the price going up then you can do a deposit scheme where you pay £60 now and the rest before june i think.

 

[lizzieloo]

Yeah, I saw that, I'm gonna do just that

 

[Clair De Lune]

With a loudspeaker in the head and an MP3 player with loads of sound clips on it...

 

[sim667]

My freind is making a monster suit with a camera embedded in the forhead I believe.

I was thinking about going as a copper.

Is there a theme?

THIS I would love to see. In the daytime before I have messed with my perception too much

 

[Crispy]

Don't get your hopes up. I have many more wild ideas than I do completed projects

 

[Clair De Lune]

I did a quick Leela and Fry on my kids at Nozstock

 

[fractionMan]

I borrowed a zombie unicorn head at nozstock.

My horn was a little limp though

 

[Clair De Lune]

Love it and a lot less scary than your hippy hat and tye dye

Just uploaded my video for the crew. Not my best work, but we had fun last year. Maybe in my case, too much fun. Arcadia with the Spider is going to be out. Of. This. World.

Small scale pissing around:

Rebel MC & Tenor Fly - Born Again (Serial Killaz Remix)

The above track was one first suggested by Arcadia. However I tried using Modestep's 'Sunlight', the choice got nods of approval but had to be abandoned because of rights issues, so it was back to plan A.
