I should still be able to make it, unless I get arrested in the next few weeks. Which could be a possibility.

I'll also try to make a start on my Hipforums guitar project...although money is tight right now.

Sounds too good to miss though

 

Hip Forums Guitar whats that?

 

I'm sure I already told you :-O But for everyone else who doesn't know, has forgotten, or is too concerned with more important things to care, please allow me to ramble on for a while...

Quite a long while back on the Fender Discussion Page, a member posted saying he'd bought and finished reading a book and was anyone else interested in reading it? Eventually, a group of them decided it would be a good idea to send the book around via mail to everyone on the list of people who wanted to read it. Each person would recieve the book, read it, then sign inside the cover and send it to the next person, who would do the same. So in the end, it'd be a piece of FDP memrobilia.

I decided to steal...umm, borrow the idea. I posted in the books forum here ages ago asking about a suitable book to send around hipforums members. Of course, since I'm lazy as hell, it never got anywhere.

Anyway, I was planning on buying a cheap ass £15 guitar to take to Glastonbury in case I got bored. Then I heard that Giles would be there too, with his famous car...and that set off an idea in my mind. I could buy a cheapo guitar and a permanent marker, then get some luvly forumers to sign and/or decorate it - a Hipforums guitar!

Of course, me being me, I was too lazy to do this as well. Bloody good thing, too. I'd have hated having to carry a guitar along with the tent, sleeping bag and rucksack full of crap I didn't really need.

But now I'm feeling a whole less lazy, I might just try it this gathering...

 

Yay!!! do it!!

 

Great. Can't make those dates. Nice one.

 

Sorry

We had to go with maons dates really.... Can't I twist your arm?

 

Not really, seeing as how Yorkshire is over three hundred miles away and I've already arranged time off work around the other dates.

 

Oh no! what will we do?

Any suggestions?

We could keep it on the old dates but then the BBC, Maon and Stardust may not be able to come and it was Maons idea to start with:s...

Can you not re arrange? I can promise good food, mushrooms and blow

 

Nope. I've already agreed to work a weekend to go in and do some mentoring in order to get two days off around the weekend of the gathering. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that they'll allow me to re-arrange that at such short notice. Not to mention the fact that I would aready have been in Yorkshire for the week leading up to it, and seeing as it's a six hour drive I'm not likely to head back there anytime soon.

 

hmmm will give giles a ring....

what date are you up here until?

 

I'll PM you. Easier than hijacking the whole thread.

 

ok

*filling space......... ahhh done *

 

i might not be able to make those dates either...i planned it all nicely so that i'd go to the gathering at the end of july, then faslane the first two weeks of august, then leeds fest, then beautiful days...and i can't make two trips to faslane...i was really hoping to stay there for a week or more...i'll have to cut one of them out...it seems pointless just going to faslane for 5 days to come back to go back to faslane again...

i don't know...

 

oooh exciting! im goin to be stayin with giles and claire by then so il definately be there at the beginning..however...i need to be in nottingahm by saturday afternoon! is that gona be easy?? how am i gona do it? im campin in nottingham with my youth group for a week so cant miss it...


love luchi xxxx

 

Well it bloody is when you work full time! A 6hr journey at either end of the trip means I'd have to book more time off. I'm not about to book more time off when the dates have changed once already. Sorry, but I just can't risk it. Working full time is a pain in the ass, and my holiday days are precious to me.

 

Cheers for the offer.

 

please add my name to definates miss claire, you beauty

altho i need sum help as to how to get to nottingham on the saturday! is it really far away? eeek

tis an exciting world we live in...im moving to yorkshire woooohoooo!

 

Is anyone else extremely excited about this?? I'll get to see a lot of you lovely Glasto people, AND MORE! Wow, what a weekend!
I think I can get to Ilkley, don't think its far from me at all. Yey!

 

I think I can make this date, but I couldn't make the previous date. If I'm in London at the time I'll be able to give lifts to anyone who might need them.

I'd love to see who these strange people I chat to on the net are ...
