That rocked! Really wish i had put sun cream on my legs as well as my shoulders though, im really burnt and itchy now.
Well done to the Flame guys, its a lot of work putting on an event and everything seemed to go pretty smoothly so you must have all worked pretty hard.
We really enjoyed putting on our show and generally chilling throughout the festival. Cant wait for next years

I had an amazing time this weekend. It was a well needed break from normality.
I tried to take pictures of lots of differant things, but really seem to have only people from the tents around mine
Apologies for that.
Theres a couple of good'uns in there, the rest are "oo something interesting, point and click!" crap ones.

thanks guys we've all packed up and left the site looking beautiful again many thanks to everyone for making it such a great weekend and for keeping the place tidy and being generally great. I'm absolutely knackered after a massive 4 hours sleep between thursday morning and sunday evening so I'm off to bed
see you all again soon I hope and send any pictures you want to me on
lee at flamefireshows.com
(p.s looks like we got back all 12 of the camera tree cameras so keep an eye out for when we post them up
) I know for a fact there is some nudity on at least one of them
thanks guys

Thank you F.L.A.M.E. That was a great weekend.
To all the people that helped out by setting up, being on the gate, toilet cleaning, etc, thank you for all the work you put in that allowed me to just sit in a beautiful field with gorgeous friends and chill out.
The shows were fab and the atmosphere was fantastic.
Yippeeeeee for there being a re-run next year

I love doing this stuff!
Thanks again everybody for a wicked weekend.
(Will there be photos vids etc all uploaded to the site cus that'd be cool, and a good promotional doo da. Hint hint)
Oh an for a sample of my work check out my myspace vid of samarai jack!
