The eFests Virtual Meets

[vintagelaureate]

In the words of Glastonbury stalwart Norman Cook:

 

"we've come a long, long way together - through the hard times and the good..."

 

Twelve months ago, the Ridge and Furrow remained unbuilt, Pangea sat static, and the fields of Avalon remained empty - so an idea was formulated to keep the 'Glastonbury spirit' burning and the eFests tradition alive. 

 

The first Virtual Meet was set up, and really well attended (and for the most part well received). 

 

In fact - just like Mik Artistik - it has become a regular fixture! People have grown friendships and found company in some unprecedented times. It even became one of the only places to see Live From Worthy Farm a few weeks ago, thanks to some excellent streaming skills!

 

The last 12/18 months have been pretty dire at times, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel (somewhere) and we all know that "hope shines brightest in the darkness".  Let's keep shining that light and, fingers crossed, in twelve months we will all be at the biggest party on Earth.

 

With this in mind, it seems appropriate to continue the ritual... 

 

The Annual Live eFests Meet will take place at the 'Ridge and Furlough'

Also applies to the virtual meets in my ears and eyes!!! 🥰

I can confirm that I am now having affairs with several of the people I have met on the virtual meets. They are extremely accommodating, discreet and hygienic.

Not sure if I'll attend I'll be the only one without beer.

They don't approve of drinking in hospital.

Ask for some fun medication. Dexamethasone gives you a nice little buzz.

I don't get any fun drugs but they're trying to seen me off some of the useful ones before I go home they mentioned that Theresa black market in them as the reason why.. which is an outrageous reason to stop giving a drug that serves a useful purpose.

[fred quimby]

Not sure I will be able to make it sadly. Hope you all have a great evening

When's the "When will this shit end" virtual rumble?

The morphine will be oral morph....it's an effective painkiller but  that's all it is, they don't like people taking it , so often prefer someone to be in pain.

I'm doing well thanks keep getting a bit ahead of myself with wrong counting of how long I have to discharge which is always disappointing when I'mn put right.... Yesterday j thought there was just over two weeks to go and then discovered it's just over three weeks. Depressing that one.

I'm Making plans for things to do when I get home latest idea is to Google a list of two of  albums to listen to before you die. And then put the lists in a randomiser and work thru  them and rate them.
