Missed half of it. Got rained on. Payed more than I should have. Didn't get to see my favorite bands. Had a blast anyways.

Sat 9 Aug – Field Day
Last year Field Day had a day of wonderful weather, perfect for sitting in the park, drinking beer and listening to great music, sadly they got the organisation horribly wrong and the result was a shambolic blend of loo queues, bar queues and bands you could barely hear.
Fast forward 12 months and here we are again having been promised a massive improvement and lured with cheaper tickets. Things had got better. There bars were better and seemed to have more staff, the loos, while still not perfect, were better and the sound on both the Homefires and Main stages a whole lot better. Sadly, what they didn’t have this year was the weather. It rained, it drizzled, it sheeted and then it rained some more.
In years gone by this wouldn’t have disturbed me too much, I survived Glastonbury in ’98 for God’s sake, but maybe I’m getting too old because disturb me it did. I think the relentless drip, drip nature of it just wore me down, that and the lack of enough quality acts to hold my attention.

Field Day 2008
Saturday was Field Day festival in Victoria Park, East London. We went to this last year and had a good time, in spite of the dreadful organisation which led to 30 minute+ queues for the sparse bars and toilets. The organisers had promised higher quantities of both this year, but they got it wrong again: more bars, but still not enough toilets. G commented that this was almost worse than before, and I kind of agree.
Also bad was the sound. We started off with Modeselektor in the Bugged Out tent, but the bass was totally overdriven and the system was clipping. The pair themselves complained about the sound (although they seemed to think the bass wasn’t high enough - to me it just sounded like the levels were all wrong) and quit with about 15 minutes left to go. Bad start.
We headed over to the main stage for of Montreal, but the sound there was even worse. I could barely recognise the songs (’it sounds like it’s being broadcast from the septic tank…
