Cabaret Field bar, Wednesday 6pm: eFestivals meet

[thewayiam]

I think they should have the festival every year so we can have a get together like this annually.

 

Good to meet you scottie even if it was only in passing.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Glad I made the decision to come along at the last minute. Great fun and great to meet new people.................. though I may have drunk a bit much!

[The Placid Casual]

Sorry I didn't make the meet, I was just so knackered at the time and was in bed by 11pm on the Wednesday. The fiasco at gate D probably aided that.

 

I met babyquack and will2649203580257 at different points.

[BlackHole2006]

Had a great time this year. Was good to see some familiar faces and meet new people. Me and WJT also found the whiskey bar which absolutely destroyed me for the rest of the evening.

[The Placid Casual]

Good times were had!

[djdavejohnson]

I almost made it to the meet and then shamefully bottled it! Been reading the forums since I first went in 2013 but have only recently become an 'active' member in the build up to this year's festival. Will hopefully get to meet you all next year (providing I nab a ticket, of course!)

[Smash1984]

Enjoyed putting a few faces to the names, only stayed for an hour but was good meeting everyone

Pretty much this!  Had a fab time with some very lovely people.  Can't wait to do it all again next year

[Spindles]

I'd say it was nice to put some names to faces, but if I'm honest I forgot who everyone was 2 minutes after I'd been introduced and just enjoyed drinking and chatting with random people.  Was nice to be able to tell a few people to their face that their posts make me smile.

 

Highlight of the meet for me was the heroes welcome given to young Matt

[Winslow Leach]

I only swung by briefly, while I was well and truly on the way to being fully Gillespied, but it was good to put some names to faces. 

 

Days later I'm still trying to figure out if I should take Untz telling me "You're skinnier than I imagined" as a compliment.

[The Placid Casual]

I walked up and introduced myself to someone on efests while Gillespie'd on Friday, but I've forgotten who.

[Wooderson]

Did she do the "Wayne & Garth meet Alice Cooper" to everyone?

Haha, I remember seeing you as well. Didn't speak though, just told it was you when everyone was, 'IT's MATT42' haha

[Gnomicide]

It was a pleasure once more.

[Amy Lawn]

I'm not as tall as she imagined, which she seemed betrayed by, as if I've been reference some enormous stature in all my posts or something.

Very nice to see; Winslow, Scottie, Neil, Bennyhanna, Untz, IanTheWorm, Jayballs, and other faces I remember with names I've forgotten.

Where was; Floorfiller, Wessex, Gazza, Matt42, Dentalplan, The Nal (I just missed him apparently), Scruffy, ZooMusicGirl, Russy, Zac, plus other names I will think of later.

[Gnomicide]

Has anyone heard from Ben? Is he still alive? Did he maintain that level of excitement throughout?

Seemed to still be loving it at half 3 this morning when i last got a message off him

[grumpyhack]

So sorry I couldn't make it.  Was really looking forward to putting faces to names but had to go back home on Wednesday as Mrs GH was distraught after having to have our cat put down.

Was able to return for the end of the fest, but will now have to wait another year for the next meet.

[H.M.V]

Gnom

The excitement levels stayed pretty level all weekend! Think he smashed it!

Was lovely to meet a lot of you! Pissed off with placid for jibbing! Lightweight

[Spindles]

I was looking out for you Grumpyhack, which did actually lead to a moment of me going up to someone and then explaining at length that they were not, in fact, you.  Whoever this mystery twin was wasn't at the meet but was at the same bar, clearly had no idea what I was blathering on about but seemed amused by the interaction just the same.

[BA4 4BY]

Was great to manage somewhat longer than 20 minutes at the meeting this year! (Oh, and don't worry Neil, it'll take more than a bit of a whitey to put me off going to Glasto, but thanks for your concern!!)

I didn't get to meet that many people as I had a meeting-within-a-meeting already planned with Wetwipes, but it was great chatting to those I did get to speak to, including 38YOV, Jayballs, GETOFFAMYLAWN, Pear Cider, H.M.V. and of course Neil. Sorry to anyone I've missed.

If the rumoured change of dates for the Festival happens next year the meeting will be on the eve of my 50th; could get messy! (Tickets allowing of course)

I did manage to get entirely gillespied before the meet so can only apologise if I was unintentionally hilarious, I blame a combination of the pear, tiredness and overenthusiasm

That was messy! Hope you all had a great time

[The Placid Casual]

Where was Wessex

Wessex is dead.

 

I missed it as I was really tired and needed to rest to save my festival. It was a shame to miss it as it was something I was looking forward to. How was it?

[kalifire]

Arrived late and left early but a pleasure to meet the few of you I did.

[Bignews]

I must have arrived the latest, let time get away from me not knowing how far it was to go back to the car to get more drink, 2 hours later and I was dropping it back at my tent and legging it off to the meet, was a pleasure to meet some of you (although I probably didn't meet most of you)
