Electric Picnic

Who’s going? We are, and we’re towing the monstrosity that is Wayne Manor.

You wouldn’t know it from the camera trickery in his films, but Christian Bale is actually 70 feet tall. Also, there’s an entire wing of the tent cut out of the picture. It’s seriously massive. We reckon it’ll hold in the region of 500 people but obviously we’ll need to run stress tests, so feel free to shanghai some friends and head along of an evening. (If you’re on Facebook, you can even make it official.)

There will be signposts.

Other late-night entertainment includes Antics in the Fosset’s Circus tent, which will be a good old dose of sweaty indie choonage guaranteed to get your gizzards in a right dancy funk. The silent disco is always a laff riot too, if for no other reason than it’s great fun trying to figure out what channel everyone’s on. What else? Oh I don’t know, but one thing about EP is that you’re never more than five feet away from an intriguing mash-up of fire, juggling, jazz, citrus fruits, unitards, flare guns, sparklers, swizzle sticks and drug-crazed Hungarians. Good times are rolling.

    “I had to turn down two tickets to EP today”

    That sentence doesn’t make any sense. No sense at all…

    Oh man, I’ll be long gone on Saturday morning. I’ll try find you by instinct though, should be worth a giggle.

    Stephen… we discussed this. I don’t know. You shouldn’t be angry, you should be… having more money a few months ago?

    Rosie, see you there. You owe me beer and (allegedly) Buckfast.

    Lottie: you must go. This is bigger than you or me. Or even you and me put together! And that’s not entirely small.

    Yes, I should have had more money, but I didn’t thats the world we live in, I blame rising fuel prices and mistrust and unease towards the aviation industry for my lack of money.
