come to think of it, were there any moments when you weren't either drunk or hungover? i didn't have enough cash to get myself drunk - i was sober the entire festival! this MUST not happen again this year! .. may have to do some cover shifts at work to fund it, but i WILL fund it! .. or just throw people cheeky smiles and mooch off them

I'm probably gonna be up on the Friday night as I can't get the time off work. Just depends on cash situation as I'm going to Reading to see RATM this year and planning on being in Thailand in January

hey guys,
I hardly know any of the British spinners yet I seek for your help now. Let me explain why
I'll attend PLAY festival this year to do some shooting for the [Old link].
Unfortunately I'll have no choice but to travel without a tent for my camera equipment is ridiculous heavy and I can't carry any further luggage.
Soo.. is there any chance that any of you guys might have a place left in your tent or wherever you actually sleep in?
I got amazing camping skills (been a scout in my childhood) and don't snore.. if that ain't convincing you!

Hey Duvan, great that you are coming to play I've probably got a spare tent you can use, not very big but should do if you can't find any better options.

wow, that sounds great!
I don't think that I'll find any better options than a tent - I mean a tent souns awesome to me!
If you could manage to bring that tent I'd owe you one. Is it waterproof? That's my only concern right now I don't need any comfort, I'm used to sleep even while standing hehe
cheers,
Max

A tip I learned from Mint Sauce that works really well. When it rains, strip down to as few clothes as decently possible and carry on playing. This way you end up with very few clothes wet (unlike when you wear waterproof clothing, which causes all the clothes you wear under them to get a bit sweaty damp) and by keeping moving by hooping, spinning, juggling etc you stay warm.

hmm i never thought of that, that's a really good tip - afterall skin is waterproof and no smarty pants saying 'actually it's partially permeable' it still feels waterproof!

Mike and Skul I do appreciate your advice but I'm not so sure if I can really apply them to using a camera.. while standing in the rain.. and stuff..
although I don't know yet whether it's skin is waterproof or not (hmm maybe it's worth a try)

My advice is that WHEN it rains - strip down to NO clothes and run around the stage area and general site - it worked for me and Flow from FenFire joined in at FireDance 3yrs ago in Austria AND its stopped raining...admitedly a fair few hrs later, but it was a fun streek. I also recommend this when its not raining...........Yes I like to get naked.
Im sure most of you do too
Have fun ya'll - im missing it already

Just for one teensy tiny person..? I'll even hide in the boot..

There is usually a food stall at the festival, but if you want to cook for yourself to keep costs down that's doable too. There are shops in North Wales you know You can shop once you get there.
