I have ridden the mighty space penguin!

[robinbloke]

I am officially a big wussy; next time I do one of these festival things I want a hotel room, or a giant Winnebago and a bath full of ice as well.
Still Henry Rollins and Tool were fantabulous; but I think on reflection that single band gigs are the way to go for me.
I seem to be tanned, revoke my goth card now.

I'm a little tanned too, but only enough to look dirty. It won't wash off. Bah.

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

Whilst you my prefere single band gigs at least you now know what festivals are like :-)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I was thinking we could hire somehting like this

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

That looks adequate; does it come with a butler?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

First festival experience; I think you're lucky to be 'a little tanned' as you looked quite red!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Large, crowded and full of dire dire toilet facilities!

But they do have giant space penguin rides :D

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I suppose we could ask raggedy_man along to buttle for us? I think he'd do well if he entered service.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

He could be a combination butler/bodyguard with the spiffy new airsoft gun he's got.

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

You could ask but you aren't going to get, you horrible pair.

And my G36 hasn't turned up yet, should be here by the end of the week (and thus I stop bouncing up everytime the door goes and it could be the posty)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Be interested to see it when it does arrive :)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Come on, Andrew! Just think how good you'd look dressed like this:

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I caught it just in time and covered up the red parts for the rest of the festival. :)

[ua-meruti.livejournal.com]

That's a freemason isn't it? :D

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

And you shall, I shall make sure of it :-)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

That's bigger than my flat!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think we are beyond our camping days and want the little comforts in life. At Infest this year, I'm not going to stay at grotty student acommodation but at the Hilton. I want a nice bed and a decent breakfast in the morning, not make it myself.

When I used to go to the Rock am Ring festival in Germany, we used to borrow my parents' motorhome so we had a bed each to sleep in, a kitchen for making coffee and our own toilet/bathroom, too.

Giant space penguin rides?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

I think we have just learnt to appreciate the finer things in life ;)

There was a bucking bronco type machine (see tiny icon) that was a penguin :D

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Rah!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And we're not students anymore so we can afford them. :o)

*laughs*
Are there bigger versions of this photo about?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Yep, but only one taken on my phone-camera sadly; but it looks better.

temp link....

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

AfterShock penguin? Hehe. That's not bad quality for a phone.
Did ev1ldonut take any?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

There was a whole aftershock tent with bouncy booty castle, water guns and custard pies. :)

The phone does 1.2 MP and x4 zoom, it's not too bad for quick snaps; sadly the picture of the 'camp zoidberg' flag I took didn't come out so well.

I think ev1ldonut took a load, he'll hopefully post them soon :D

[belak-krin.livejournal.com]

Camp Zoidberg! Rah!

beware the puuurple aftershock.... 0_0

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Best flag of all the camping areas :)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I was tempted by Infest this year - what about yourself?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

I've not seen the lineup this year yet...

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

It's been out for ages, I posted about it, too.

Frontline Assembly, Rotersand, Unter Null are my main reasons plus many more.
I've organised tickets and hotel already (well, naranek did the latter).

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to see if I can improve that icon a bit?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Hrm; only really FLA that immediately catch my beady eye...

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

That would be spiffy :)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I've played almost all of the others at one point. ;o)

Single Band Gigs

[sarah-mum.livejournal.com]

You mean you're not into anything polyphonic?

Re: Single Band Gigs

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

*groans* Remind me to buy you a drink for that one.

[the-mendicant.livejournal.com]

That's not free, I'm sure he cost quite a lot of money!
