Isle of Blogs

A blog to keep up with the exploits of the council and their various far flung members and better halves.

gentlemen, let get out of our tiny minds.

Well chaps (and chappesses) the summer is coming, time to think about falling asleep dead-drunk in the mid-afternoon sun, waking to find amusing sunburn shapes and not so amusing heatstroke that will make you vomit for three days continuously.

A-ha! Festivals! Yes, the perfect escape from our plush middle-class existence of foccacia bread and mildly intellectual Waterstone purchases, reducing ourselves to animals as we make at one with nature by grinding around in dirt to some throbbing primal beats. I'd very much like it if we could do this in a co-ordinated effort this year, maybe even getting naked together, something we've never done en mass. Or maybe just some nice fancy dress?

Right I'll make the nomination for Bestival. Bing and Greedy had a good time last year, but then again stoooners like them probably would have done if they had stayed in with a 'Best-of Ren and Stimpy DVD' and a KFC bargain bucket for the weekend. Dates are 8th - 10th Sept, so not near any other events, something to look forward to. Principal reason for choosing this? Well, its on the Isle of Wight, 9 miles across, so it means Dickie can't get that far.....

Good night vienna

Its either this or give the air guitar a damn beating like satans cock at theDownload Festival. Dan and Soph's wedding not going to be nearly as good a headline set from Metallica.

Let me know what you think, be good to know any other nominations and suggestions for special guest stars....?. Lineup's not out yet, so all to play for, wherever we choose just make sure everyone books up tickets together. Whatever happens I'd love it for everyone to go apeshit together.

Cheers!

I am up for Bestival for sure, line up will be good and the fancy dress and non commercial side of it will replicate the Glastonbury feeling well. V's way to straight even though Radiohead are headlining? :S

Wow, I'd love to see Radiohead... but V is a bit teenage/run of the mill.
I'm pretty much 100% up for Bestival again, its so much fun going over on the ferry, and its got a perfect 'vibe' there. I'd be up for dressing up this year as well, seedling and I looked like a right couple of caaaants at some points there, in our jeans and jumpers.

Yep I'm up for this as well, can't wait to prance around the adjacent forest in my rupert the bear costume. Who wants to go as bill the badger? I think luton should go as a centaur.

today, myself, i was struggling, feels like we been trapped for a long time.
in la la land. very frustrating. and under pressure now
its so slow.
enough to drive anyone loopy. im supposed to be positive>>
smiling faces for the outside. well im fucking tearing my hair out.
too much at once.
furiously writing, working out parts. cracking up.
not much time left. unshure about everything.
im not supposed to put any of this here. so thats why i am."

*I'm bookmarked on Dead Air Space and have been 'trying' to track progress of the new album, but it just seems to be words that occasionally form angry/tired/frustrated sentences. I can't wait!

Err.. I've never been to a festival b4. This sounds like a good one. I promise I'll be good ;-). £95 if we book up soon. That sounds reasonable.

Right time to start thinking of costumes. We should ink this in the diary and have regualr updates.

The genius that is Martin Heaton has put forward the idea of Benicassim....?? or The Secret Garden Festival in mid August?


I love the idea of Benicassim being 'the next Brno', but fear for my own safety and bank account.
