none
but I am increasingly convinced that I should try and get to a festival at least. Not sure which one.

I thought of going to Coachella this weekend,
but then it's a 2 1/2 hour drive and a really shitty place. I'll leave it to the young 'uns.

Sonisphere
naturally. It's where all the cool, and the not-so-cool kids are at

tempting
I don't think I'd convince my friends along to that, though

There's some good stuff
and you don't need a massive group of friends to go, just a couple. Or go it alone

Don't do Reading as a first festival.
It totally broke me.

I've done Glastonbury
a few times, but I'm much older now

also it clashes with LARP events every year

I've been invited to a LARP event in Derby I think.
As proud as I am of my geek credentials, I think that's just one step too far for me.

Someone invited my friend and she asked if I'd come
so I'm not entirely sure. If she ends up going I'll gaz you and you can hook up. She's completely wonderful and mad enough to fit right in, I reckon.

there is a certain mindset to dealing with larp
providing she's not in a faction we're at war with, I will say hello. Also, probably try and convert her to the cult of Sekhmet

I'll let that be a surprise.

The guy from Pineapple Studio called it "extreme cross country pantomime" the other day, which made me laugh.
I should point out that I only watched Pineapple Studio to reaffirm that my hetrosexuality can take such an onslaught of poofery and remain intact.

Just to balance things though, I watched a football game afterwards, drank some stella and beat up someone for supporting another team.

ah!
that's what we call it. I've not seen this pineapple studios, thing, how come larp is on it?

I wasn't really paying that much attention, but I think it was that they were going to employe some LARP guy in order to teach how to dance with sticks/weapons, for theater.
I'm open minded by it, I think I _could_ really enjoy it, if I could get into the books.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 19:13, Reply)

books?
larpers always think they can do awesome things with sticks and weapons, usually we're just either overweight or lanky geeks who've read too much fantasy and thus expect to be able to fight straight away

Yeah', like Tolken and stuff like that.
I'd feel that if I was going to such an event, I'd like to be clued up on known the differance between my night-elf and wood-elf.

I used to play Warhamer when I was a kid, so I won't be 100% thick about the whole thing, but I don't know enough about mythology to really interact with someone who does on the subject. Well, I would, and I'd be interested, it's just that I wouldn't be able to bring anything to the party.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 19:23, Reply)

to be fair
we make it up as we go along and each system has its own mythology. I am sure there's something you'd bring to the party. Rum is popular
