(the other channel was programmed by the ATP people)

Really enjoyed the PiL footage on Sunday morning, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Saturday (on the other channel), but mostly I was out watching bands, eating or sleeping pretty much the whole weekend.
Pity, cos there was some great stuff on. Why can't TV always be like that?

Is that a hint? :rolleyes:

ps: I thought you were allergic to big crowds?

Ha!Soz,i forgot to say that i'll share space with my bodyguard.

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I'll go and eat worms. :( ... :D

The presence of beards was alarming, certainly. I was more pissed off about the fact that everyone was dressed so fucking sensibly. I'm not expecting Guiness hats (in fact, I'd rather choke on rancid anal blood) but nearly everyone there was dressed very... straight.

I had some Shoreditch haircuts giving me a shit load of 'fucking faggot' type comments at one point, which annoyed me. Luckily, I was pissed, and thus my super powers were safe.

Really? You mean when that dude said "queer hat mate" or whatever he said. He didn't look like a Shoreditch cunt to me...just a standard, everyday cunt.

most jealous about missing the new blockaders w/ gx sittin in.

Here's a few tasters:

you're damn right you did. where were you standing during which sets? i'll be pissed if i find out you were like six feet away from me unknowingly.

just a great amazing weekend, but certain beyond exhausted, that happens when john moloney jumps on you twice

great meeting you all, sonicl, greenlight, jon boy, whorefrost, and moshe

toliet & bowels, tomomi, and his flatmates for letting us sleep at their place on Thursday,

my chalet mates naomi, nefeli, pokkeherrie, iain, and jennthebenn, for being so excellent

thanks to chalet neighbors in C6, for letting us crash for while when i didn't have the keycard on saturday night

also Jeremy Lemos, great to talk to you again, you do an excellent job(he's one of SY's tech dudes), and Tom Carter for being appreciative of my photos i took a few weeks ago

Jenn has no home internet access, but her extensive signature tour journal is being written, and should be up at some point in the coming weeks

best acts in no order

Taurpis Tula
Nurse with Wound
SY
Wolf Eyes
Stooges
Gang of Four (hey Steve, you and Nels looked liked you were bobbing a hell of a head bob)
NNCK
Sunburned Hand of the Man - i mean holy shit, Moloney decides to dive into the audience twice where i was standing

it was weird and cool to see SY twice as we arrived in Taunton, and Iain....since you went into town, you didn't get to see the band leave on the same train Nefeli and Pokkeherrie and Tomomi took into London, and the only time i spoke to Thurston

shall head, have pictures and vid clips of bark haze, 16 bitch pile up, mats and eye, and when 40 people rushed the stage during Iggy and the Stooges, shall start working on it tomorrow

Exactly. Especially the one from NNCK looks like a Lord of the Rings character.

There were far too many moustaches too. Fucking pretentious waxed ones. Someone should've built a bonfire to throw all the 'tache wearers on, it would've been a huge benefit to society.

Very nice photos Roadkillkid! Thanks for sharing.
Sonicl. There's one of you with Thurston on page 5.

Are you trying to say that you are going to the next one too?I'm not sure.

aaah the NNCK girl was topless there? shiiit!

(sexist comment)

What I was trying to say is that nobody in their right mind, would want to share a chalet with a weirdo that wears a mask
and a full body zentai suit for the duration of 3 days.
Yeah, I might go next year and I'll be easy to spot from a mile away. ;)

I have no idea what a full body zentai suit is, but I'm imagining rubber... In which case, wearing one for three days non-stop sounds like the most unpleasant expereince I could possibly imagine. <shudders>
