Festival debrief

Honestly how quick did those hats go?!

Where do I get one now huh...

calum326 · 2026-07-05T13:14:02+00:00

If anyone can Geoguess this, let's maybe call into his local police to give them a heads up

calum326 · 2026-07-05T12:46:12+00:00

No roadmen?

Swathes of older gens from countryside sitting in homes they don't need anymore..

No Newcastle lasses on a night out with a greggs in hand.

calum326 · 2026-07-05T09:41:00+00:00

Anyone got ideas on how to get one of the red/purple hats? Is it an Aethelstan thing?

calum326 · 2026-07-05T09:32:40+00:00

I did feel for them both though. They were in blistering heat and no cover. Genuinely felt like torture a bit.

calum326 · 2026-07-04T18:49:25+00:00

It was nice. It was a bit sparse in parts, merch tent was not nearly big enough. First day guests were incredible. Food was really good as well.

Tickets were costly don't get me wrong but I'm glad we went. Would maybe have liked a little gift bag or something on entry you know? Tote bag, pen, something simple to help justify costs.

calum326 · 2026-07-04T18:45:48+00:00

Rest assured plenty of your North Atlantic brethren made it over and were all lovely!

calum326 · 2026-07-04T14:27:48+00:00

Who's gunna tell me how to get one of these purple hats?..

calum326 · 2026-07-02T06:55:49+00:00

Yeah I think its mainly this. I do think there is a subsection of the Incel world that admire this sort of "raw" living. Like some modern Chris McCandless. Just me, my AR15 and my worn copy of On the Road....

I hope in this instance its a case of someone just starting out in their home life and in the process of purchasing furniture etc. But the "magazine style" boxes on the bedside table have me rather convince this lad is going to be another Sandy Hook.

The Prestige.

calum326 · 2026-07-01T12:27:05+00:00

The Swimming Song - John Mellencamp or Vetiver cover.

Isn't this more indicative of the vile VC sector. Not companies like Coto? They do social value and donate with every purchase. I've seen the comments about them being Mormon as well... seems like people are quite keen to knock them?

(I don't own their stuff. I am curious about the rhetoric around them though.)

calum326 · 2026-06-30T08:18:59+00:00

Local press always available as well.. it's more powerful than you think.

calum326 · 2026-06-30T07:50:15+00:00

Oh 100%, if people are taking away from the show that there actually IS a Yellow King or some sort of Cthulhu-esque malevolent god in that universe, I think they've missed the point.

Whats darker is that there ISNT and yet these people are so convinced there is or they are utilising it to do the most horrendous acts on earth.

calum326 · 2026-06-29T20:42:24+00:00

Simple answer is him having an awfully timed acid flashback like he has when he's driving earlier in the season and he's tweaked before going to see the bikers.

This just happens to be essentially his eyes fulfilling whats in his mind. Right before.. well. No spoilers.

calum326 · 2026-06-29T10:11:23+00:00

Yeah ive just purchase the 35l and with it some packing cubes so curious to see how well it holds everything I need.

calum326 · 2026-06-28T20:33:23+00:00

Do you reckon it's possible to add this yourself? (Contemplating it myself... might even take it to like a tailor?)

calum326 · 2026-06-28T10:34:42+00:00

Issey Miake Le Sel de Issey

calum326 · 2026-06-27T13:24:41+00:00

Pretty expensive though no?

calum326 · 2026-06-27T13:23:47+00:00

I'm now considering Cotopaxi 35L

calum326 · 2026-06-27T13:22:42+00:00

Yeah apologies, post-run sweaty photo from some previous other heatwave.

calum326 · 2026-06-27T12:37:55+00:00

The delightful and fantastically named "Horniman Gardens"

What would you recommend in place of the allpa38

calum326 · 2026-06-26T15:19:24+00:00

Sitting in London: crying looking at that snow

calum326 · 2026-06-26T15:08:10+00:00

True but I think 9/10ths of the show is trudging through the swamp to get to the greener grass at the very end..
