I wasn't really sure where to put this but I recently contacted a promoter inquiring about playing The Water Rats in London and got this email back. Bare in mind that we are a very left field progressive rock band...

Hi Haydn,
Thanks for you booking request which has been passed on to me for the Water Rats.
I haven't received a booking from from the O2 Academy, but i wanted to provide you with some dates currently available at this venue.
Thursday 14th February
(supporting Ingrid Arthur & Global Beat Manifesto - Famous for the intl hit "It's Raining Men") -
Bands wishing to support this act must be able to attract at least 25 people.

Laughing my head off at the stupidest person on twitter.

Their tweet was.

"Readings third headliner is obv nirvana, they haven't played since 96, and they are reading favourites! Plus they've played with system load"

Spot how many wrong things there are with that statement.

Oh yeah and the tweet after followed up with?

"Nirvana died? shit... why did no one tell me this".

I hate humanity.

After months of looking for a replacement for my favourite cross-body bag, which fell to pieces last year having done university, 7 Glastos and numerous holidays, I've found one! Big enough to hold all my bits and pieces and some beers, a zip and a flap for security, a waterproof back pocket for my bog roll. And it has owls on... That's really made my day. :)

today I was offered a free ticket to Festival No 6 again which I was kind of hoping for but as a bonus I've also been offered a free ticket to Pinkpop in Holland

The only issue is Pinkpop is on my wedding anniversary but wife has taken it reasonably well. :biggrin:

Delivering training on Autism today, and getting only one negative feedback comment, and that comment was complaining about the car parking, all the other comments were very positive.

Also, realising it's 70 days until Bearded Theory, and that 10 weeks today I'll be sitting next to my tent, drinking cider, with a large group of field loving reprobates.

I'm a punter. This will be my 4th Bearded Theory, it's a great way to start off Festival season. I'll be camping with a huge group of eFesters, incuding NomiNaomi, GlastoMongrel, Rabid, Green Fairy, Strudders, Boilerman, and loads of others whose eFests monikers I've forgotten. Look out for the Northumberland Flag and come and say Hi.

A couple of days behind on this as i've been working during the day and going to gigs the last couple of evenings (brmc and foals) but having the glastonbury line-up announcement on my birthday was pretty nice!

    • I am very possibly wrong about this but I do think that the pitch you get allocated appears to be related to your time of arrival, (i.e. you get the next one available) rather than the price you paid for a small, medium or large pitch.  They all appear to be the same size to me.

    • Liddle: "Drop a small nuclear bomb on Glastonbury to immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying.”   Farage: Free speech!    Polanski: accepts a collaboration on 20 innocuous looking set of photos on instagram but doesn't notice that one that says 'making plans for Nigel' with a guillotine image.   Farage: I expect the MET police to arrest him.
    • I take my lad to the local non-league club - Royston Town - not he's 13, he goes there with his mates and he plays in their youth team.  Not many people there - lucky if they hit 800, but lovely supporting the town team.  I've took him to some league clubs too - Cambridge and Stevenage are great to visit and not crazy prices - his first one was Cambridge v Sunderland (I'm a mackem) when they were in league 1, so a great experience for him.  The England matches aren't too bad value either at Wembley - it's just the parking that stings you. Problem is, he's a City fan, so at some point have to bite the bullet and get him up to the Ethiad. Have done the tour, but he'd love a proper game....my wallet, less so!
    • Said it before, but if Annie Lennox is available next year, then it would be an absolute crime to instead book anyone else. She's rare and legendary enough that you drop all other plans.
