Ambient Picnic 08/07/07

Hmmm... just checking how to get a train to Epsom from London. How easy is it to get from Epsom station to the site? Is it just a short taxi ride or walkable?

Nice... if the weather is fine, this is looking like a great idea.

and Ewell West, if that helps anyone :)

it's a free bus too btw.

Epsom is only 25-30mins from Clapham Junction on Sundays.

Was reading in my Mum's local paper (part of Surrey Ad group) that this is aimed at 13-19 year olds!

you sure that article is not on about the Saturday?

there is a EMO Teen Rockfest being put on as part of the funding on Saturday.

This is definitely not for teh kids. well not for the kids alone. it's for everyone mmmaaannnn :D

Maybe it was, I have been quite a few times before but not for at least five years and it was ok. I was a bit surprised when I read that in the paper.

I don't like the look of the BBC forecast for Epsom:

But the BBC are always getting it wrong, so I don't know what to do. Grrr :mad:

I like the look of today's weather in Guildford though:

Erm...
 
Temps have fluctuated! At one point they promised 24C, now only 19C. But never mind, there should be some sunshine :) :cool:

I'll be setting out before long .... :)
 
That was a great afternoon :cool: Mostly spent time outside the dance tent with WoW and friends from that real-life place ;)

Surprised there weren't more people at the picnic, there certainly deserved to be.

The cider was lovely, although I felt pretty defeated after two pints. What was it, 3.3% or something? I really am a lightweight :D
 
Whoever was in charge of advertising and marketing that event should be shot.

It was grand but seeing bands being watched by three men and a dog was a bit sad. I blame the enterance fee myself. No hordes of teenagers as a result. The dance tent had excellent bass and the sun was hot the dope strong and the vibe chilled.

Good to see WoW and Skim and Xan there. Cute tootsies Xan!!:)
 
I know I was very stoned but the policing was the best I have seen in years. Three cops on site, the smallest three cops I have ever seen. The one in charge was 5 foot 2 in his socks. I really had to resist the temptation to run over and pick him up and leg it. :D
 
Maybe the Surrey constabulary keeps a special crack team of mini-cops for small events like the Ambient Picnic, reserving the bigger rozzers for more taxing work like riots and shoot-outs...
