I'm going to be absolutely struggling to get a ticket for Homegame alone. Dylan makes a good point. I have presents to buy and shit. What about people with no money? like me.

I have to side with Matthew on the 'hating people' front. Seeing all them humans together makes you realise just how unimportant an individual is. Of course, it could also be interpreted as people joining together into one glorious living, breathing organism....if you are a hippy. I personally keep expecting Agent Smith out of the Matrix to pop up and accuse us of being viruses and complain about our stink before punching us into the sky. To be honest, I can't comment. I have only been to ONE. And it was Wickerman and we were playing at some godawful hour. First thing in the afternoon at 12pm I think it was. And getting there the night before was a nightmare. I had my then girlfriend with me at the time. That may have been part of the problem actually. The rest of the Foxx got hammered and wandered around causing chaos (the details of which I cannot reveal) while I tried in vain to get some sleepage. Minimal sleepage occurred. *sigh* After the gig was good though. I only saw about two bands though. Sitting on a van in the sun seemed too good an opportunity to miss. Ok - festivals are good then. I have changed my mind. Christ, what a load of wank I just typed. Cool. Festivals……..I can’t get behind them. I have to side with Matthew on the ‘hating people’ front.
