The Bimble Inn is now The Tipi Tent

[bennyhana22]

Me again with random posting!

Just listening to EITS 'Catastrophe and the Cure'. God I hope they play this. I rather fear I'm going to peak on Friday evening and just be in a state for the rest of the festival. Come on September!!!

Anyone else surprised that Bill Callahan aka Smog hasn't made EotR yet?

I think he'd be a perfect addition to the line up.

I don't get why the Bimble Inn isn't going to be called the Bimble Inn at EOTR this year, when it was the called the Bimble Inn at Glastonbury - unless it's a different tent so it can't be called the Bimble Inn.

Was that enough Bimble Inns in there?

Oh and I won't get started on the whole T-shirt thing, I'd be here all day...

Yeah...especially as he had a new album out this year...and he's touring the UK end of August...do you know something we don't know cloudy o?

Are we 100% full this year? Mmmm......

[DragKnuckles]

Have we got a "I'm from Barcelona" type act this year? I can't think of one myself. Really enjoyed them.

Aye, but we've got Richmond Fontaine and they haven't! New(Latitude Review) Uncut has a full page 5-star review of their new album. Sounds thrilling! Also a good article on 'Monsters Of Folk' - the Jim James/Conor Oberst/Mike Mogis/M Ward 'supergroup'.

[wolfamongwolves]

I don't think I could cope with another three bands to add to the clash list!!!

It's not called the Bimble Inn as it's not the same tent - the Bimble Inn is a specific tent taken round festivals. Don't worry though, The Tipi Tent is going to be really really good.

[DragKnuckles]

this news is sad and frightening.

But there are also days when All I Want* is Blue by Joni

[Elfy]

Probably my all-time favourite record, possible tie with Roy Harper's 'Stormcock'.

Elfy, did you ever see the 'All-Star Joni Tribute Concert', specifically the performances of Cyndi Lauper and Diana Krall? Any thoughts?

[ljsawyer]

Broke my ankle, so it looks like I'll be coming to EOTR this year on crutches -.-

Oh no! At least it's a small festival so there's not too much distance to cover. Have you got a walking cast?

Hope it's fixed in time (I broke mine at the end of July last year and the cast came off the day before I went to Reading festival...)

[GTG]

I'm in a full leg cast for a few weeks before I switch to a smaller cast for a few more weeks. Should be OK for the festival, just will have to stay towards the back of the tents and stay out of densely crowded areas.

[GTG]

Blue is also one of my all time favourites. Definitely my fav Joni Mitchell album, I love to sing along, but only when noone can hear me!!!

Haven't seen that concert - is it worth tracking down?

You'll be laughing if it rains like last year! I gather the going was a bit sticky at Larmer Tree ......

[GTG]

it actually drained really really well, I was worried about the car parks and the lack of organisation when cars started sliding but by saturday eve/sunday there was no mud save for at the entrance to the garden stage really.
