Someone will need to explain this rule to me - it can't be as weird as it sounds.

Does this not have not enough double negatives failing to not be applied to understand what the ruling isn't here?

[Kizzie]

Ok, so I have stickers and a pen!  At this stage so far so good.

We will have the eFests flag but are not taking the pole, sticky stick (hope that's not patented), as it's a pain in the arse.

So look for the flag pegged to a fence, guy rope, table, persons back, hat.

Oh it can.

So there is a school of thought that it is inappropriate, maybe even uncool, to wear a band's merch when going to a gig, e.g. wearing a Radiohead tshirt to a Radiohead gig.

Obviously there is an alternative school that posits  the theory that this is utter nonsense. Particularly at a festival when you'll be seeing multiple bands.

So, does wearing  an efests shirt to the efests meet count?

The correct school.

So I take it wearing my Kylie T-shirt during her set will be uncool then, oh well at least it will take the attention away from my gold hot pants.?

[chatty]

Thanks, that's much clearer . I'm in the alternative school and will be wearing my efests tshirt.

My own personal band tshirt rule is that you should never wear the tshirt of a band you've not seen live.

What if it’s a band you absolutely love but can’t see live as they’re dead/disbanded/not up for a retro comeback tour? I’ll never get to see Dio but I bloody love my Dio hoodie ?????

[adequate8]

Will be there!

Well you can have whatever rule you want and if you love your Dio hoodie then that's great. I'm not dictating what the rules are - that's just my rule. It helps that I've got more than enough tshirts that fit the rule.

I saw Dio a few times but never had a t-shirt. You can wear it on my behalf.

[balti-pie]

Right, I’m off to put it on right now! Ta ??

 

Edit: it’s a bit hot still. I’ll pop it on the sofa.

I will wear no stickers. But I will wear my avatar on a t-shirt, but all those in the know would recognise me without it anyway.

Too loud is subjective. My words must be heard.

I won't be at the meet unfortunately (arriving Thursday) but I do have the same t shirt as Lawn which I'll be wearing at the festival.

Now, we all know that just packing the stickers doesn't necessarily guarantee that they will make it to the meet ?

See you at the Ridge and Furrow (or maybe in the CV fields!)  

[Avalon_Fields]

I’ll most likely be around the Hill of Death Tuesday evening so say hello anyone who may have met me before
