Truck
Truck Festival was as good this year as it was last. A Scholar and a Physician lived up to their geeky performance last year, with a bouncy song called "I'm not normal!" being most memorable. Great mosh pit to Hundred Reasons. ¡Forward Russia! were really good on the main stage - I always approve of female drummers! Captive State were eclectic to say the least - Drums, electric double bass, guitar, keyboard, decks, trumpet, trombone and vocalist. Drug Squad were a crazy mix of american folk with ska. Ralfe Band were just incredible.
Yay for Rotary Club burgers. Yay for ice cream sold by the local vicar to save the church roof. Yay for the disco shed (a garden shed with a couple of DJs playing tunes, complete with lights & smoke). Yay for UCPO people. Yay for bands you've never heard of. Yay for random naked people playing guitar and falling into their own tents. Yay for stupid band names like ":(" (pronounced "Colon Open Bracket"). Not-quite-so-yay for banging my knees in a shopping-trolley related accident. Yay for nervous_testpilot and his choonz and his dances. Yay for staying up into the night talking to random people (and watching them run away once they found out we were a bunch of Cambridge grads). Yay for the Truck stage, the Trailer Park, the Lounge, the Barn That Cannot Be Named, and the Market Stage. Yay for crazy men dressed in bear suits encouraging people to dance. And yay for the ticket price being £40 for the whole thing.
