I'd like to say I've never seen that at the fest, but there was this one guy in 2014....

69. Spend hours preparing a ridiculously large flag that isn't funny, to fuck as many people off as possible.

ahh happy memories.... in the list of top ten things to do , take a newbie for the first time. and then laugh at they wonderment

1.21 - Drink far too much real ale. Get back to tent in the early hours of Thursday morning. Have almost instant rumblings. Realise you have nothing else to hand and attempt to shit into a johnny. Fail. Horrendously. To the shock and disgust of your friends.

2 - Overhear above shenanigans from the safety of your nearby tent and almost die of laughter.

talk to anyone staring intensely into a campfire in the small hours, for they are the wisest and most weary of travellers among us and almost always have some higher truth to impart, sell or share

"The miniature Stonehenge"

there's a video of mr E correcting someone referring to it as a henge. 

"Well it's not a henge, it's a stone circle, a henge has got bits on top you see" - I believe is what he says

If they even reach 10 posts it'll be a miracle. It's clear they are only here to advertise their narcissistic blog.

 

I thought you may have guest written the "about us" page Mr russycarps sir, it's got your inimitable style all over it.

It can and does, if you are an alcoholic.

11. meet some random people in the afternoon and go off with them for the night, forgetting you left your printed off clashfinder pages in a puddle in the porch of your tent

This was definitely me on the Sunday 2011. Not sure if I had any higher truth to impart though... I remember people dancing round the fire and playing little flutes though. Was quite hypnotic!

The best thing has to be taking newbies round and seeing the looks of amazement on their faces.  

And no one has mentioned going to the EFests meet.  Has to be done to put faces to all of those people we've been taking the p*ss out of.

If you're up and around in the mornings the craft fields have a Happy Hour: Runs between 10-11am daily, Wed-Sunday inclusive, where all activities are free. This can be an activity that lets the public ‘try out’ a traditional craft skill.   All the workshops do this.
