I think it's incredibly controversial. See Confederate statues in the US for example. Oh I see, when I said 'we' I thought eFestivals and me, not the general we of society, and then I edited it and removed it because actually I wasn't sure if were agreeing or not, haha But I agree it is really controversial at the moment, like the confederate statues, and that's a whole massive barrel of worms to open right there!

Ahhh, I understand now! Personally I'm undecided on the name of the tent. Anyway, screens would probably work better in the new location. And at least some better ice cream sellers than the standard van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem for me is the size of some of the headliners they've had could easily have played elsewhere and let more people watch them, but then maybe that's the point of it, that excitement of getting in or not, reminds me of a Friday night when I was 16, fake ID in tow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one who mentioned the Catholic Church yesterday. But rather than hoping for a reaction from someone else, why not just jump in with one yourself?
