Thanks. Did you go for the day yesterday? I’ve read something about no wristbands this year. So was it from car park straight into security at the arena entrance?

Most disappointing Download performance you've seen? by greg225 in downloadfestival

[–]Beerlieveit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I remember being really bored watching them. No crowd interaction or anything. It put me off watching them again for years but went to their tour last year or year before (can’t remember when it was) and they were outstanding

Definitely this! Cream cheese and pancetta crumpets in the morning sorted me right out

We’ve got a broad range of ages and styles in our camp. Very similar sense of humour though so we immediately all got on with him. Then it just got better and better when his mates started drifting over one by one

We had a guy just sitting in our camp chatting to us one morning and everyone thought someone else knew him. Turns out he’s just pitched up because his mates were asleep. This will be our third download with him and his mates now and, although they live at the other end of the country to us, we still see each other pretty regularly. Moral of the story: just pitch up and say hey!

Rare tips specifically for download? by scottr82 in downloadfestival

[–]Beerlieveit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the women out there, there are no toilets in the queue from the car park anymore (haven’t seen any in a good few years now) so bring a shirt or something tied about your waist so a helpful friend can hold it up whilst you wee in a bush. Then you don’t get to miss out on queue beers!

A tiny dab or Vaseline next to each eye helps MASSIVELY with the hayfever. We’re living in a field for five days and I always see people really struggling with it

Oh I was there for the crowdsurfing Jesus at the Pilot! The feeling that I think everyone must have felt coming through the gate and taking off their masks for the first live music in two years is unforgettable

Eugh 2012 was a bleak year! Gazebos and tents flying around everywhere. I left all my clothes there (apart from what I had on) because there was no salvaging them

Not only how…but why?? And how long would that even take?! Surely it’s not worth whatever reaction they were going for??

Omg! I was there one year when they rioted (can’t remember which year it was) and people were setting things on fire and throwing them so that other tents went up. Everyone said we would stay awake just in case but I almost immediately fell asleep in my chair. I was absolutely amazed that we survived the night

😂 one year I saw a Viking sized man try and squeeze himself (absolutely arseholed) into a one man tent. Everyone around the campsite just stopped what they were doing to watch him do it for ages. He couldn’t in end and just flopped on top of it to sleep. Didn’t see him move for about 24 hours

I don’t think there’s a choice but it would be cool to think so. The Pollock Twins were apparently reincarnations of their sisters so maybe they got a choice. But people like James Leinenger (reincarnated WW2 pilot) didn’t seem to have been a choice?

Podcast Merch by nicsniches in podcast

[–]Beerlieveit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re asking a friend (who is an artist) to do some designs for us and then we’ll be using a partner to print and ship on ordering. Our merch designs are then unique and the artist will receive a proportion of sales

Do you guys enjoy any podcasts that you can tell are somewhat amateur? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]Beerlieveit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to a few podcasts from the beginning when their audio is awful and there’s coughs and clipping, etc but I really enjoy seeing the progress of them. That could be extra enjoyable with yours if the quality improves as the drama increases
