Cabaret Field bar, Wednesday 6pm: eFestivals meet

[Funkyfairy!]

Free drinks for red heads at the Cabaret Bar!!!!

I was thinking about going pink or lilac hair colour, but red has now gone into the mix :-)

[stopwn1981]

Everyone's welcome stopwn 1981

It'll be a good night, lots of nattering, good music and.......well yes it does usually degenerate into a mess.

Just introduce yourself, you can't miss us. There'll be the flag and *hundreds* of eFests tshirts. (*well a few anyway)

Nice one...me and my partner in crime will be there. We'll be three sheets to the wind no doubt by that time. You can't miss us, were both about 6'5" and will be noticeably overwhelmed given it's our first time!

[Kizzie]

will be noticeably overwhelmed given it's our first time!

You'll love it.

[stopwn1981]

You'll love it.

Hope so! So what numbers are we betting on for attending?

[siblin]

Are non-regular posters/newcomers welcome or will we get funny looks? ;P

given that nobody ever seems to know who's an efester and who isn't, i don't think you'll have to worry about that!

I think everyone will get funny looks, long-term or new! Just dye your hair read and see if you can get a free drink ;-)

[eFestivals]

here's the flag, during construction.

It's 5 foot long, so I don't think you'll miss it.

[LondonTom]

Well thats rather excellent! Should'nt take me as long to spot the right crowd this year then! (That and being able to recognise some more faces )

[Ruwise]

Should spot that no problem!!

[rischbrit]

Looks great Neil!! Don't think we will miss that even pissed up!

[The Nal]

Ah only just saw this! Good news.

[ghandi]

Nice flag! I'll be there with some cohorts who I'm afraid only lurk. I will be wearing my nice shiny new efests t-shirt with the name Ghandi written on the back

[Funky Jim]

Oh no I am working a shift Wednesday evening!

[sheffieldlady]

Will see if I can make it - be good to meet some people. I don't get out enough in my normal day to day life.

[eFestivals]

bit of a cock-up on the original flag front, but something else is in hand. You'll get to see the result in around a week from now.

You are going to wear the flag like a cape and pretend you are Superman ?

[Gnomicide]

Never mind all that, how are the stickers coming along?

Complete with eFests pants, now there's an idea.

I want some eFests pants......Neil......

[Justiceforcedave]

Sad to say I won't be getting in till 9ish so I probably will miss this!

[slamdunkdafunk]

I'll be really looking forward to this, though my shyness when talking to strangers, particularly in large groups will inevitably, result in me walking past and wondering what might have been ha-ha!

[mr gumby]

I'll be at Abi Baker at Avalon Cafe until 6.15, so should get to the meet around 6.30. Looking forward to meeting you guys after my epic fail last year!

Secret is, everyones like that with strangers, because strangers are strange and we're taught not to talk to them. The efesters are even stranger than most, but take a plunge, say hello to someone and give them 5 minutes. If they turn out to be scary strange, you can always run!

[Gazsimmo1980]

Outside festivals I really do not like strangers. They are weird and I don't know them. Inside festivals there are no strangers, just friends you haven't met yet.

[eFestivals]

Yesterday I happened to bump into one of the team involved in building and running some of the Glasto bars, including the one where the meet will be.

He said to me "Wednesday? The bar isn't going to start being built until Wednesday".... he then very nicely promised us access to another, restricted-access bar instead.

A bit later he came over looking a bit sheepish, and said he'd just spoken to his boss, who'd pointed out to him that the bar was being built on Wednesday - the Wednesday before the festival opens, a whole week before.

So anyway ... the bar will be built and fully stocked in good time for the meet.
