Time out! So I went out and got drunk on Friday night which lasted well into Saturday. It’s been a while but it was good to catch up with my friends. I don’t get out enough, which is kind of self inflicted for a number of reasons! Anyhow it was a good laugh and I ended up back in Highbrazil (not correct spelling!) for an after party in the small hours for my friend Jen’s birthday.

I had just recently got my good Lumix camera back from repair so I took it upon myself to grab some obtrusive shots! It’s just as well my friends are used to me when I am snap happy! I got a good exposure set on the camera so I could snap away without the flash and be sure that the majority of the shots would come out ok (I avoid the flash as much as possible). Read more

Well, I was going to do a full review of this year’s Electric Picnic festival, but I’m backdating this now so it’s best to let the pictures tell the story for the most part. Briefly though, yes it was good. I was sober all weekend on doctor’s orders and quite proud of myself for that. Missed Friday night but got down on Saturday and provided live visuals for the excellent Halfset in the Body & Soul area and played a DJ set on Sunday on the Cosmololis visuals tower. Highlights included Dj Yoda, The Silent Disco, Le Bien, The rap kid in the Lost Vagueness Chapel, The whole of Body & Soul, The Hog sandwiches and Lucent Dossier’s Vaudeville Cirque.

There are two photo sets here, one of the Electric Picnic in general and one for the Vaudeville Cirque as it deserves one of its own on account of it being so good!
