timespeedsup Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'll bet there's some bloody hard raving going down there even as I type, but alas I am safely back in front of a computer screen already, contemplating the strange happenings of the weekend and how I shall assimilate them into an efests review. If only it could all be done in pictures, the place and people were marvellously colourful, and we had two photographers there. The review will be, um, heavily family-focussed, cos we had various family priorities acrosss the weekend, especially a pleasantly-feverous middle child across most of it. Now I'd like to include some info on the post-midnight shenanigans that I never got round to attending, cos I think that with music going on until at least 5am, there was a lot going on for the night-owls. So if anyone wants to drop me a PM, containing no more than a few lines of nocturnal opinion, I'd gladly paraphrase it into the review that should go up late Wednesday. Cheers. PS what a carnival!

Harrow Strongbow Ciderman! Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Cheers Jackie, Calpol in abundance. Just run out now as it goes , with the youngest threatening to go down with the same virus. Sort of festival where I think we'd have found someone who'd donate Calpol though Hope Stowe House went well, can't think who played, and presume (going completely off topic) Endorse It went fine for you all too? Rough drafts of reviews now written, off now to play with photos and see if I took any that the official photographer didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seantizz Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 A truly truly brilliant festival experience - perhaps my favourite of the whole summer.... I entered a competition in the Metro and won tickets at late notice - wondered what I was letting myself in for... Got there and was pleased to discover that there were friends from other festivals there - and everybody was so friendly anyway that I wouldn't have been by myself for long... Personal highlights for me included the late night/early morning hot-tub, binocular football (KerPlunk is making a play for the 2012 Olympic team), the Childrens birthday party, the Geisha purification experience on the last night and the most relaxing and wonderful back massage whilst sat in the garden of the Wonky Cock Boozer!! The carnival was brilliant fun as well... Can't remember much about the music though I recall that the Beat were quite good, Nizlopi were fun as always and I quite enjoyed Flipron and Smerins.... Thanks to all of the great, generous people who were there who made this weekend so so good.... I'll be back... Sean x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsybitsy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yet again a fantastic weekend, which really was made for me by absolutely perfect attitude of everyone there - up for fun and very friendly. The highlight for me has to be the spontaneous game of 'sticky stick' in the woods at about 2am Monday morning - a random group of worse for wear strangers (with very bad coordination), trying to keep a plastic bottle in the air with sticks, I'm amazed none of us lost an eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timespeedsup Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 So your middle kid had a FEVER over weekend? That's a pisser & hope you managed to enjoy some of it. Either I read your posting too quick or a typo cos I thought you mean't FERVOUR, as in excited kid ENJOYING the festival! I was wondering what all the Calpol talk was about?! ...... So I gather The Beat were one of the main acts then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xray-specs Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Great news.... Shambala 09 earlybird tickets are going on sale "very soon" so keep an eye on the website. It's on Thurs 27th Aug to Mon 31st. Has got to be the best festival discussed on these board imho. Yay I'm getting warm and fuzzy thinking about it.
