My Electric Picnic 2011 crusade ended Sunday morning at 4.37am in a wobbly haze of tiredness & irresponsible drinking. After what seemed like a 16 mile trek back to the campsite, I ended up in a cold & shaky Fr Ted like caravan to sifer the last of my buddies booze.
To those of you that can live in tiny ice box tents pitched on sludgy urine drenched fields in Laois for three days …. You’re not well in the head. I did what any semi sane non water dwelling mammal should do & stayed in a local overpriced B&B.
The Picnic was great, it always is. Dj Shadow was particularly brilliant as was Donal Dineens ‘Parish’ Project on Friday night in the body & soul area. Some of the smaller stages dished out some of the best performances with ‘Freezer Room’ from Cork putting on an excellent show.
Chemical Brothers were amazing again. Their incredible visuals & lighting show is a perfectly synchronised main stage rave, but …. It was the exact same show they did two years ago.
( Yeah i know this is Glastonbury .....just pretend)
Now that I think back, the strangest sight I witnessed all weekend was that of a young lady taking
a pee into a plastic pint glass, then picking it up and putting it into a rubbish bin, so considerate.
I'm delighted i got out of there before the caranage that is the Monday morning bail out, it generally
looks like this ........
