seems some people on this thread can't trust themselves not to be tempted by the marketing!

i might go, i'll take my own refreshments if i do though...

Just seen bluestreak's edit. I thought we were mates. I thought we both liked radiohead.

and best of all, NO HOLLIS! ;)

nah, he'll be wandering round telling people they're evil for supporting foul corporate scum, in between runs to the offie for non-corporate beer.

:D

i thought we were mates too, until you decided that i'm some sort of sell-out lifestylist for daring to take advantage of smoothieLtd's little shindig. i was mortified. in fact, i still am.
 
I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say that Fruitstock last year was utter shite. I have my reasons....

- You only got poxy little testers of the smoothies and then had to buy your own for about £2 a bottle! Yummy they may be but not when you have to down about three to quench your thirst after eating a horribly nasty dried out pie (also purchased at great expense)
-The food was over priced and poor quality (as above)
-Ditto alcohol
- The music, as mentioned before was either too quiet although what I actually heard of it was pretty ruuuubbbish!
-The other attractions consisted of some kid pedalling a bike to mix his own smoothie (which he then had to pay for), some cheese stall (my b/f at the time purchsed a lump of mediocre cheddar for £7) and a place selling rabbit/hen hutches for £300! Just use some chicken wire I say!

All in all a pretty pants day. I say go to some lovely common somewhere you can walk to, with toilets that arent rammed and blocked and with space to move around/catch a ball/find your friends easily.

Sorry

/rant off

ask for your money back! or tell those fuckers that made you go that they are evil!!! Damn people for trying to do something. damn people for trying to entertain you. how dare they stop you from bringing you own food and drink!
 
The reason I didn't end up there last year was because I was at the Great British Beer Festival for most of Saturday. And hungover like a bastard on the Sunday. Can't rule out the same again :D

I don't really know what a 'smoothie' is really, is it American? :confused: and possibly don't really want to. Not ruling out coming along to Regents Park either, though :)

You are up to your neck in this shite.

My god.. I shoot myself now.. it has come to this.
 
william, smoothies are yummy fruit drinks ideal for lifting ones' spirit after a night of EXcess. they are an american import, yes, but one i believe makes the world a better place. however, due to the thickness of smoothies, not being made with concentrate but with pulped whole fruit, they are quite expensive, and this leads well-paid accountants such as hollis to believe them the work of the devil.


part of this smoothie company's marketing strategy to attempt to win over people like hollis is to put on a tame but free festival featuring innoffensive but entertaining acts such as nitin sawanhey and nouvelle vague and to give out small samples of their product. hollis however, won't be swayed. he knows the truth.



*pockets another backhander*

considering how mush it costs to buy a load of fruit and then the added hassle of putting them in a blender, i actually think they're a bit of a bargain! :)

oiks.

more ketamin smoothies for us.

"Excuse me sir, I can't help but notice you have a large pure healthy smoothie there."

"erm, yes, what of it?"

"Well, sir, this being Camden, that smoothie is too healthy. Would you like some ketamine in it?"

:D

But how can you fight the good fight when your knees are all wobbly and you're dribbling kiwi juice down your pants in a big messy smoothie-hole? Who's gonna start the revolution then, eh? EH?

:(

I shall be meeting Hollis outside the Innocent tent at 11am sharp, with plans to sabotage their juice-making machinery. We will be dressed in camouflage smocks and balaclavas should you wish to identify us. We will then proceed to the sound stage, where we will be taking photographs of Birkenstock-clad traitors for our files. We look forward to seeing our comrades then. Thank you.

You want me to line you up a couple of pints at the bar for when you've worked up a thirst? Or will you be bringing your own? :D

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Unbranded beer, obviously. And don't go putting any of your pony dope in it :mad:
