Electric picnic...it was just soooo nice!!

Yes yes...i went back to Laois for the electric picnic. But this time I brought my tent!! It was oh so much nicer than Oxegen. Oh so much nicer. The food was nicer. The people were nicer. The place was nicer. The weather was nicer. It was just much nicer!!! The people were apparently taller...but I managed alright.


Me and Ethna and Caitriona left Dublin in the early hours of Saturday Morning....11.50....in search of Stradbally. Luckily, others had saved us a space right near the entrance so when we got to the campsite we didn't have far to go and we had people to play with!!! Yay!!

They was many other things to do in Stradbally besides going to see great music provided by the likes of the Flamming Lips, Mercury Rev, De La Soul, the kills ( i thought they were particularly good) arcade fire....to name but a few. Lots of things indeed. My favourite was the Silent Disco. Ethna took the robot a bit too seriously.


With those ear phones on you couldn't but wanna play dj. Everywhere should have silent discos!!

Another big hit were the hammocks. While I queued to provide my weary festival buddies with pear cider...mmmm pear cider, they slept.

On our way into the Body and soul area, ou tof no where a copper dumped a bag of cans on the ground. It was free for all!!

We could bring said cans and any other ones we found/bought or otherwise acquired anywhere as long as "security" couldn't see them. But there was one place where no can dare tread...


Only things allowed in there were frogs and hippies.

Other notable entries: meet and greet kinda with Wayne Coyne...he's so lovely!! But late...he was watching the band I was before I left to go see him. Boo!! oh and their giant bubble they used to run across the crowd. Bu then he apologised for the trampling so all was good. Hes just soooo lovely.

And then it was all over. Packed up the tents and off we trot home. I slept the whole way...and today i was oh so tired...oh so tired. Roll on next year!!
