Life is grand

… you remember scribbling down a business plan at 4am for self-cleaning toilets but find your notes the next day blurred into eligibility and smelling of whiskey.

What a deadly weekend. Went with Fi and a bunch of friends to the Electric Picnic music festival. 3 nights and days of brilliant music.

I did get to see Groove Armada, New Order, Bloc Party, Cold Cut, Hot Chip, Pet Shop Boys, Basement Jaxx, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Laurent Garnier, The Rapture, Grandmaster Melle Mel and The Furious Five Cut Chemist & KOOP and a few others.

Just got back now and I am a bit wrecked so won’t say much more right now. Thanks to San, John and the others for a great weekend.

… you decant 2 litres of whiskey into a plastic bottle.

See you on the other side of Electric Picnic all!

Waterford’s Spraoi festival ended with a bang on Sunday night. A brilliant parade of macabre monsters and a pretty decent set of fireworks. I got a video of the fireworks (I would put it on YouTube but the “clever” system doesn’t like the portrait format of my video and auto-rotates it to landscape format. Which is daft.)

We then headed for the pubs and drank into the early hours.

Oh man. Had a mad weekend in Wales. Brilliant but utterly mad. Lots more photos and stories coming soon, I just need a few days to recover.

I’ll be in Pembrokeshire, Wales next weekend, 23rd to the 26th of June 2006, for the Sea Fair Haven boat festival. An Seabhac Mara will be there with the rest of the crew. If you are in the area then drop in and say hello.
