st00ka Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm struggling to persuade my mates to come to FIB this year any hints or tips on how I can get them enthused? Failing that. Anyone done the festival on their lonesome before now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st00ka Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thank you for your very eloquent reply, the problem however is not that they are first timers but that they are old timers (not yet into their senior years) who have succomb to the lethargy plague.

st00ka Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have persuaded one friend so I am hoping for some kind of domino effect... Also the most unlikely couple have expressed a desire to attend this years festival, they are the Sam Kay and Gail Trimble of my friends, I am not sure how they will cope with the long hours, the imbibing of much substances and the general mayhem that goes with the festival. Who knows? Maybe it will be a revelation and maybe I will find them in the dance tent at six o'clock ripped to the tits on the last morning of festival after disappearing on the first evening.

st00ka Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Is going on your own a good idea cos i'm still not sure?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neillyrydell Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I know what you mean - I went a couple of years ago and it was a bit of a disaster - 3 guys and their birds, in hindsight isn't the best idea for a weekend of madness! Anyway because of this I feel I've got a bit of unfinished business with this festival but none of my mates seem interested anymore. This festival has bags of potential - the line up, the weather, the aquapark across the road from the entrance! Plenty of pubs and that nearby too, honestly it's gona be well better than T in the Park, who've decided to save money during the recession by cutting down on printing costs and booking the same f***ing line up again! Mark my words, if I have to go myself, I will be there. Even if that is a bit sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st00ka Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 FIB this year for me seems to have gone from me travelling alone, to me travelling with two university challenge types, four hyperactive french ladies and now a stag do...

andy_h Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I don't think it's sad at all, I got to the point where I realised that if I didn't do stuff on my own I'd be waiting forever for others. Yeah it's cool if people want to come with you but just remember that you are heading to a place with about thirty odd thousand other people who have similar tastes so if you are an approachable type then its certainly not difficult to make new friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
