Well it turns out that a few of us are going to this, so here we are; a thread for it.
I'm most looking forward to seeing Ross Noble, as he's my favourite comedian.

It's the only head i have..... I'm not going to be about on sunday i'm afraid. I'm planning to get there on friday, have a big day/night, see some stuff on saturday and then leave that evening. I can't really make it any longer than that for various reasons. I'm happy to wear something piratey though, as long as i wouldn't be the only one....

Well actually i'm blagging in with a press pass, so i will have to write a review whether i like it or not. It's just a 500-word review of the whole festi though.

Being of eclectic taste I am looking forward to quite a few other bands. I would really like to see Howling Bells I am Kloot House of Love Blondie The Coral (accoustic set) Julian Cope (!) Ida Maria (sounds v nice)
plus who knows what gems?
Its a real shame you aren't around Saturday night Jake, Elbow and Sigur Ros will be something to behold, I love the Sigur's new album. Try and stick around for Saturday?
Anyway, lets have a beer or 10 Friday and maybe we make Friday the pirate night Heff?
Anyay - anyne need a ticket and a tent spot: we have had a cancellation and I am willing to take £100 for a 3 day ticket (normaly £130) and I am sure Heff will do a deal on the pre-erected tent (private field, sleeping bags, ho showeres, frivate toilets).

"ho showers"? That sounds interesting.......
Why the exclamation mark after Julian Cope? He's about the only one i actually have heard of/used to be into.
It's kind of difficult to meet up as i don't have a mobile, but maybe we could arrange to meet up at Ross Noble (my comedy god) as i know he's on friday evening. Unless anyone else knows of a good meeting spot?

we need a TLC flag

Post by Turwhitt on Jun 26, 2008 18:46:47 GMT
So basically we need a large piece of red material, some black and white paint and a stick.

Post by steevodeevo on Jun 26, 2008 20:17:15 GMT
well if you look at it like that yes. Heff tried the alternative approach and was offered a solution for £90. Which of course was ruled out.
I guess the caveat is someone with a little talent with the paintbrush - or a template.

Post by Turwhitt on Jun 27, 2008 8:28:53 GMT
Yes, the easiest thing would be to print out a huge copy of TLC flag and cut out the skull and bones to make a stencil, then use spraypaint. It wouldn't have the black shading but that could be added by hand easily enough if really neccesary

Nice one!
It should be hard to miss you now. Will you be carrying one of them around, or is that for striking fear into anyone who goes near your tent?
Shall we arrange a meeting time/place? Or shall i just keep my eyes open for the flag? I've got no idea how feasible that will be. Is it as big as glasto?

Post by steevodeevo on Jul 8, 2008 20:34:19 GMT
its only small - 20k peeps max as oposed to close to 100k peeps at Glasto. A mere country fayre - which actually has an Aspinals cyder tent! dev.aspall.co.uk/popup.php?page=gallery&picture_id=109 home of Englands bestest cider also from Suffolk. Anyway - what day ios 'dress like a pirate day' Friday or saturday? Jake are you staying for saturday? I would heartily recomend staying if you can to see elbow and sigur ros - you can kip in our en-suite spare room complete with blow up matress and sleeping bag in the upper classy Tangerine fields snooty camping area. Let us know matey, whatever is cool. or better still - buy my spare ticket for a knock down price of 100 doubloons for the three days and stay the ferkin weekend and help me empty the aspinalls tent!

1) Anyway - what day ios 'dress like a pirate day' Friday or saturday? 2) Jake are you staying for saturday? 3) buy my spare ticket for a knock down price of 100 doubloons for the three days and stay the ferkin weekend and help me empty the aspinalls tent! 1) It'll have to be friday, as i won't be there saturday night. 2) Impossible 3) My press pass is for the whole weekend anyway. The reason i'm leaving on saturday is because i have to.

Stubborn as a mule.
Turwhitt is Mark Reynolds long lost brother Heff.
On the subject of Reynolds - does he fancy Latitude?

It's not me being stubborn, it's up to the three main women in my life: Daughter, wife and mother.
I have promised them i will see some of them that weekend (my mother lives near latty and wife and babby are going to be with her already, waiting for my arrival).
It's still possible i can see SR, if they aren't on too late.
