fuck

I have done nothing about my fancy dress. Best get my arse into gear.

erm, last time I checked, about a month ago, they were urging people to dress a bit like the fucking Lancashire Hotpots.

I am to be convinced about this lot. you'll probably love them and want to dance to them

'parently the 'otpots won't be there this year. Bernard the lead Hotpot is off doing a cycle tour of Europe instead. They will be at Solfest though

As far as I know the main fancy dress theme is "Animals"

 

[pogofish]

I've just got my travel sorted.

Looks like I will have the smallest adult tent in the festival - don't laugh!

Some of the Beat Herder organisers were on On The Wire on 23rd May, you can download it at http://odeo.com/channels/47901/rss.xml - they're on about an hour in being interviewed about this year's festival, playing records etc.

It must have been fate - I decided to go the second hand shop today on the offchance they would have a bright red dressing gown. Not seriously expecting them to have one, mind.

And they did!! It's perfect I got a good karate-type belt too, and a black scarf

MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE EXPLODING IN YOUR MIND presented by Gaz Cobain ( Future Sound of London / the Amorphous Androgynous ) will be switching on minds for an early afternoon 3 hour psycadellic experience from 12 on the Saturday. So, get yourselves up and out of bed (or stay up a bit longer) and be part of the most serene and surreal time to be had in the woods to date, it should be quite special we thinks.

Coooooool!!

I'm jealous, Beatherder was great when we went

It's Watts Fest and Festival of Brian this year, for all our mini festival needs

 

[Kaka Tim]

Got our passes!

We're on Friday night in the working mans club and Sunday at 1.00pm on the mainstage. Playing hillbilly punk to a load of munters on a comedown I suspect.

Very looking forward to i!

hehe

Am getting a little bit excited about this now

Me mate's got his outfit sorted - we're gonna be a duo

 

[editor]

A few acts in the line up have played Offline so that's as good a recommendation that I can think of.

And Capt Hotknives is there too!

 

[sojourner]

I now have doggy ear material and an eyemask

Hey up lad

 

[pogofish]

I have no costume.

 

[sojourner]

I have no costume.

Intentional?

It's not compulsory is it? After not having one for the first solfest, and desperately wanting one, I have to keep doing it It's funny

 

[pogofish]

Possibly - Not going to have room for much extra luggage and don't fancy the train dressed as a sheep/haddock or whatever!

Bugger, just remembered - I should have bought that girraffe hat I saw at Rockness!

I've been working on our costumes but I've given up for now as glastonbury prep has got in the way. I've made us animal hoodies out of fun fur with ears and tales and stuff - Mine is a cheetah and my boy is a fox, so if you see us then say hello The costumes are so super cool - I'm quite impressed with how well they've turned out!
