Yeah there's always an atmosphere on the last night at Leeds, this was the worst I've seen though.

Glad you came out unscathed mate. Apart from the shenanigans, how was the festivals - any good reviews of the bands?
Haha! I actually explained to my compadres what a chib was Situation was hairy though, I didn't even think to get pictures. The original plan was to wait until first light before packing but Sarah was getting more and more upset so I packed up about 5:30 and lugged our gear outta there.
Bands were wicked though - Mylo played that mix of Drop The Pressure and Dr Pressure I'd been expecting, Sons & Daughters were brilliant too. The Go! Team got shown up by the poorer quality of the crowd compared to when I saw them at T In The Park - I was the only idiot pogoing when they came on stage, everyone else wasn't doing any more than nodding..

Yeah I'm not sure I'll go again, it was disgusting. I wouldn't miss Leeds - I already have T In The Park as a regular fixture and Glastonbury as regular as I can get it.

Yeah I saw it, there are some complete idiots on that forum. The webmaster Neil is a roaster too - he got all surly with me once when I e-mailed him to correct some information about the Slam Tent at T In The Park. Thank Christ I don't use those forums...
