Klaus

It was brilliant:D I'd like to hear everyone elses' experiences but mine can be summed up thusly: Bon Iver was incredible and made friends of mine cry, The Mae Shi was the funnest gig ever except for the stupid girls who kept shouting shit into the mic at the end, No Age were excellent, as were some other bands. Free cocktails for at least an hour (we took the whole jug) set up Saturday perfectly, as did a free meal at a lovely Italian restaurant (we didn't do a runner but it sure felt like we did!), the house party with Roll Tomassi and Maths Class was INSANE - we left before anything really bad happened. Nights on the beach randomly finding shells and drinking beer, laughing ahrder than I have in ages...it was all superb. How bout anyone else?

YEP!!! It's gonna be the best festival write up ever:D Well.....maybe not, but it should at least be entertaining and well written:)
