Thrown in a bin to avoid the FBI? Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of cars in those carparks What about doggers? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I can actually join a few of these elements up; (1) I went to a well known gay club in Birmingham called Subway, but I went just as it had changed it's target audience to young straight people with the women wearing 'burners'. I was old. I felt like a dirty old man in there, and was not comfortable. (2) I have driven, accidentally, into a doggers site. The people running around in front of me in my full beam headlights thought that they were scared, such was their rapid movement back to their own vehicles, hiding etc . They simply had no idea that I, in my transit van that looked like a police van, with full headlights on, blinding them, was actually in fear for my life, and that of my wife who was with me.

stuie Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 I don’t think I’ve heard of burning man goers being called burners before! It’s a distinct style though, seen more at Boomtown (are they called boomers? 😂) and Lost Village. Willy Wonka on acid meets steampunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go to the burn - and whilst there they're 'on the playa'. I think. At least, I knew what the OP meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well comfy doing the site in leggings tho and with my furry stuff after the sun set to keep me warm. I'm sure there will be plenty of people in that sort of fancy dress....weather dependent. I always think it is fab that people are free to dress up how they want in pretty wild costumes and not feel judged. I've done a couple where I've dressed up (not quite like that) and it is fun. That's what it's about isn't it? Enjoying yourself. It's not going to be for everyone, but Glasto should be a judgement free zone. I think there is probably a bit less than there used to be TBH. Feel like you used to see more people dressed up at glasto, but maybe that is just the stages and venues that I go to now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 So really the OP just means festival clothing? er yeah go for it. I kind of think that any clothing is a bit try hard if you're Alan from accounts in real life but who gives a sh*t. Be your best Alan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
