I'm back from Offset early

ring_tailed_lemur [Edit] [Delete] 18:58, 6 September '09

So I thought I'd start the thread about it. Everyone else enjoy themselves?

It was my first time there, I really loved it - one day was quite enough for me but that's only because I'm a massive square. The last festival I went to was Indietracks, which had a bath in the shower block - I don't think offset had a shower block, and loo roll was a prized commodity, but I found it endearing and enjoyable in its grubbiness. Lots of directional fashion statements going on, but everyone was dead friendly and chatty. Security were a bit over-zealous on the way in, and apparently didn't realise everyone was passing stuff under the fence anyway.

That's enough of a preamble... bands highlights were as follows...

Cold Pumas, Male Bonding (I never realised how much i liked that Nirvana song they covered), Pulled Apart By Horses, Future Of The Left, (people told me it was the worst they'd seen them - you what? I loved it, might have been the best time I've seen them, although tight timetables meant not enough banter) and The Slits. They played Typical Girls for about a year but I don't think i can argue with that really.
