Happily it proved fairly easy to smuggle in booze,
The weather was amazing
The people were lovely
The music was damn fine
The site was beautiful
The decor was pretty wonderful
What a lovely weekend
Diz - sorry we missed you, by the time we packed up and had a farewell drink with friends you'd gone for a wander. See ya soon (August 7th - party - Tooting - ask Bams for info, she's the unoffical PR and maker of tea
) Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

That was lovely
Sorry for all those who came to watch the show - it finally got under way about 11... The Council were doing their upmost to stop the show happening, and kept moving the goalposts - grrrr.
Think it went well, all though I think we were outclassed by the other acts, especially Jacob & Sophie (Fairy Fire) - Goddamn they're good!
Crazy Acrobalance stuff and some of the tightest staff throws I've even seen Kat - didn't know you were there! I seem to have missed you again!

Hmm. Agreed
Wonderful Music,
Wonderful Festival,
Wonderful Decor,
and wonderful to meet and spin with some of you.
And the Toilets weren't that bad!
Problems with the rather thorough search on the way in. Had to explain to the nice security chap that if he was gonna empty my bag and search it I'd better go back to the car and repack it first!
A big thank you all for puting up with my butterfly hyperloop obsesion over the weekend and sharing your variations with me!
I saw so many variations I'm now planning starting a butterfly (hyperloop) collection.
Photos can be seen here but don't all rush at once as my web server is running out of memory so it may be slow/unresponsive.

Durbs - caught the end of your show (guy with UV on his chest in your group - you guys all dressed in black?) well done, was nice stuff. Missed the end though as friends were dragging me to Squarepusher. Came back after a while to see if I could see Niki and caught the acrobalance act - was fab! Shame did not get to meet more forum peeps, but I'm absolutely useless at spotting faces in crowds, probably cause I was too busy staring at the fab decor, great costumes, blue blue skies, pretty trees - sensory overload : )

Did anyone else get any photos?
I seem to have an amasing knack of taking my camera everywhere with me, but never actually using it
There's a couple on Psy Forum of our show, and Gathy's are cool too, I even found a random pic of Stix and her man...
I'll start on the video tonight
Probably
