Endorset in Dorset, 2009!

[beesonthewhatnow]

we can now confirm that one of the very special guests is a certain DJ Shake Up.

It's up to him if he outs himself as such, the lanky baldy Girls Aloud obsessed flat cap wearing bastard

hehe

Is it too late so say I don't want to come to endorse it now

 

[Skim]

I've suddenly thought it might be a very idea to come to Endorse It, but fear I may have left it a bit too late to get a ticket...

The line-up doesn't appeal, but the company does. Maybe a weekend with a load of spannered Urbanites is just what I need to cheer me up

 

[editor]

I'm sure you can still get a ticket.

 

[Tank Girl]

tickets are still available skim, go on, do it!!

 

[trashpony]

Come, come, skim! Bring skimboy and he and the foal can go on toddler rampages together

 

[Skim]

I'm just worried about the cost. I have to get a new tent (namely that cute teepee number I saw in the Cotswold catalogue) and then there's hiring a car, food, rum etc etc etc.

And after the monumental washout that was Glastonbury 2007, I have been scared of ever setting foot inside a muddy festival site ever again. I am not hardcore enough. I admit it, ok? I Am Not Hardcore. I am one step away from being one of those people who leave festivals at 10pm and head for the nearest B&B to listen to Heart FM and dry their hiking socks on the radiator.

But the company will be marvellous and I really, really deserve a weekend of debauchery... truly.

You know it makes sense

las year was wet. but EIID is pr0obably the most reliably sunny festy in the schedule (south coast, mid August) and is usually gorgeous. Every stage is indoors this year, and the site is small enough that even if there is mud, there's not far to trudge.

 

[Skim]

Bring skimboy

Actually, I have given it a lot of consideration today, knowing you'd be there with the Foal. They'd have great fun together and we could give each other some mutual support.

But it's way too much hard work, and I really want a rest. At the risk of sounding selfish (and, essentially, I am a selfish cow), I can't really enjoy myself knowing that I've got to remain pretty sober throughout and focus on his needs instead of wandering around in a happy daze doing as I please and dancing like a twat on cider.

One day, when I grow up, I'll take him to craft corner at Womad or something

 

[Skim]

Oh yeah, the music. What music do the DJs play into the small hours? I'm not asking for electronic music, but is there anything played apart from ska and punk?

 

[Tank Girl]

skim, I'm taking my daughter to her first festival this year, because I've been far too selfish (sensible?! ) to not want to take her in the past - I'm still of the opinion that I'm out of my tiny little mind taking her to glastonbury

dj shake up will be playing rockabilly.

 

[El Jefe]

me and ouchmonkey (randy and earl's old record club) have our own tent every night, all night, playing soul, rock'n'roll, gospel, jazz, blues, swing, ska, garage, etc etc etc. It's the only place to be.

 

[Skim]

Kids and Glastonbury. God. I could only do it with a bag of sedatives and a very large wheelbarrow.

I very much like the sound of your tent, Mr Jefe, and suspect that if I go to Endorse It, I will stay there all night, every night, clapping my hands to gospel and trying to seduce scrumpy-sipping Dorset youth

I have not read about DJ Shake up in Mixmag, but look forward to experiencing his upfront "toons" and beatmatching "skillz".

 

[El Jefe]

it's a deal..

This may well be the first and last time I do it. And if there were someone I could leave him with, I would

 

[wiskey]

I'm taking Boy by choice.

Reading all your posts I'm starting to think I'm mad, but I'm actually looking forward to it

 

[William of Walworth]

Will be great to see you thee Skim, you'll love this festival I'm sure

And as Jefe correctly says, the risk of another muddy one is probably pretty low

 

[moose]

Not if I have anything to do with it

 

[Skim]

You can leave him with me when I'm sober

(This may not turn out to be such a promising offer. Terms and conditions apply.)

I look forward to seeing the Foal... and baby Wiskey

Just waiting for my boss to return so I can thrust an annual leave card in his face. Then I'm getting a ticket.

Yes!

YES!

It might be great! I had a very bad weekend camping in Priddy last year when it poured with rain, the tent collapsed and we all got wet and cold and completely miserable. And the foal was crawling so just kept getting soaked and crying.

Yay!

Thanks for the offer but you need a weekend off - I shall co-opt termite man who is good at stepping into the breach

I am just hoping that I won't be sitting alone in my tent every evening while everyone else gets battered. Even if I have some early nights, I expect wiskey will be up early with me for tea

 

[madamv]

We ought to crack on and get our tickets, but Mr V is off work sick, the quids are therefore greatly depleted. Hopefully there will still be tickets next month...

well we checked our tent and its all looking sturdy, and we're off for our first camping trip with him this weekend. by the time this comes around he will have been to three festivals (or we'll have decided he's not a festival baby and freecycled him).

There's 3 nights, there's 3 children, 4 parents and I'm sure we'll work something out.

I was just going to buy a long range baby monitor and go out to the arena

That's horrible enough without kids, let alone with a small toddler. I'd be blubbing too. A sunny Endorse It... even a slightly rainy Endorse It... has got to be a lot easier.

Anyway...

TICKET BOOKED!
