I'm on the bus as well. My 6th Bestival !!!! Nearly opted for EOTR after a great time there this year but my heart is ultimately still with Bestival. (And no Paul or anyone else who knows of my exploits this year, I will not be going as 'artist' DJ Hojo Hits next year....). Incidentally talking of buses I remember the very first Bestival when people were queuing to get in and we were 'entertained' by two young ladies on an open top bus flashing themselves at everyone for no apparent reason but to make people laugh.....hmmm....then off course there has been the Pimms Bus...so next year maybe an efestivals bus (but without fruity alcoholic drinks or fruity topless ladies one would hope).

Lets start the sun dance now.....I really don't want a repeat of this years weather....

From RDB

hey y'all

hope everyones having a riotous time what with woolies seemingly going bust, timmy mallett annoying the shit out of the entire nation and it being colder than a polar bears fridge outside...but good news on the horizon..only 10 months til Besti ... and 8 til Camp Besti..ok tenuous link to hope but its something

reason for writing is that it seems we all agree that Space is the place for next years besti theme..so without further ado i announce that final..the full title is still to be worked up but we're going along the lines of

2010: A Space Spectacular

as we have some special tricks up our sleeve installation wise and act wise

so keep the ideas running on this loose theme and we'll firm it up in Jan

camp besti announce very soon on services and talent and although lots in the bag already on the big besti i imagine that'll be 2009 for an announce

til then keep warm

lots of love

robby and the besti crew

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
