An outdoor weekend
Weekend started by visiting the Finsbury Park Green Fair, which was quite different to how I expected. It had four music areas, and lots of stalls selling food and booze, and a significant hoard of punks.
I hung around there with Carrie and some psyforum folks for a while, then headed home to get ready for the main event of the weekend - the Misztified outdoor party.
Grabbed rental car, people turned up, and drove down to the location, in Surrey. As with such parties, getting there was an adventure. At one point my GPS cunningly directed us down a shortcut that turned out to be an unmarked dirt track through the forest. A road it was, but after a while of close-calls and nearly either bogging or ramping the car in ditches, we came to a bit we just couldn't pass, and turned around and went back, and around the long way.
The party itself was nice; not a huge crowd there, but friendly, and nice music, and gorgeous lakeside forest location.
Headed home in the morning, crashed out to sleep for a while after returning the car, then I headed over to Hampstead Heath for Poggs' picnic.. Then finally home again, for a much-needed early night!
