Larry Levan's Weekend Plans.

I know Bolton quite well, which is why RG tickled me with that comment.

Bloody hell no. I can't believe you'd think that!

Well last weekend was a lot of fun, even the weather couldn't spoil it.

Tune in next week when Wookie describes the rise and fall of Napoleon in one sentence.

How about

He woke up one day feeling short, invaded loads of places, got beat by the brits and the prussians, died in exile.

Napoleon wasn't actually short, it's a myth. He was slightly taller than the average height for a Frenchman of that time.

Yeah it was an early example of a smear campaign. The victors write the extremely short history books.

I'm pretty darn skint so will probably watch the football at a friends house later, then stay in for the remainder of the weekend.

Exciting times.

payday today, so off to Horsforth to watch the football

tomorrow - buy some new trainers, then head down to waxwerks during the day to see matt tolfrey for a bit

sunday - nix

Have you been in Waxwerks yet? What's the stock like? I keep meaning to pop in. Discogs has made me lazy.

It's worth popping in for a look. There's not a great deal or at least there wasn't when i went in though to be fair to them it was the opening day.

its getting better all the time, there was alot more in last time i was there

it's a cool little place as well

Don't know what you lot are on about.


Glade festival for me. Pissing rain. Will be in and out like The Wild Geese.

Glade is well pongo.

I get that rubbish every year and it's always from people who have never been.

Tonight - watch the footy with junior baughan. I bet he falls asleep.

Tomorrow - Junior has visitors at 10 and 11, then out for lunch at 2. No evening plans.

Sunday - Afternoon of polo, watching not playing. Tea with the grandparents. nice.

Glade looks pretty ace this year. Weather looks fucking awful though.

I've been working at festivals since the 80's. The weather is usually bad. Outdoors is outside for a reason.

Once in a blue moon it is really nice. Even more rarely it is nice for every day of it.

Expecting good weather at a festival is sheer madness.

Haven't had more than 2 pints for about 2 months now. If anyone wants to lose weight, have a child. Works wonders for the diet. Lost 6lbs in less than 2 weeks.

Yeah, but it's all about bringing the outside 'in'

When are you playing?

Always plan with bad weather in mind. Good weather is a bonus.

I'm off to see the Olympic torch come past the bottom of our road shortly. Yay.

Pictures will follow.

Glade festival has changed hands (again) and I was moved and touched by their total lack of organisation, manners and operational logistics.

I was on at 10.30pm. They shut all the gates at 10pm but didn't warn anyone. At 9.30 there was a huge queue of cars and vans (mostly performers) wondering why the people who'd paid for them to be there now didn't want them to come in.

It got to 10.20 so I figured there had to be more than one gate and I did a haughty doughnut in the muck and sped off to find another.

I found the next gate open with the obligatory Tarquin and Penelope trustifarians on the gate with reflective jackets and unreflective brains.

After about 20 mins watching them fail to get in touch with anyone at all on their radio I just thought fuckit and sped off into the fest with no carpass or ticket.

By the time I got to the Production Office there was an APB out on a bearded bumrusher. I didn't bother telling them it was me and they didn't even click when they were confused about how I'd actually got as far as them.

I finally got a wristband and after trudging through World War I I got there at 11 sharp. Despite the festival's best attempts to keep me out.

I was ace.

The End.


I'll insert the twat caveat that while I was the dashing hero of the tale as told above... in reality by 6am back in London after 6 hours driving and a few miles muck-skiing etc I was proper fucked. I used to be able do all that shit for a week. I'm a ruined husk of my former self. I've got one night a week in me now. The shame

I saw the olympic torch. I was more underwhelmed than I expected.

I also had to go see it for a second time last night in Middlesbrough. This wasn't so bad though as there was a van selling fresh hot donuts. Yum

Is it this week you got to Ibiza?

Tomorrow.

A week of pain then given your Glade experience

I'm sure the sun and general vibe will be more than enough to keep you going.
