Fourgoodmen at Retro festival - anyone care to join me?Hi folks
After the amazing last few days I can't believe the news I have just received tonight. I entered a competition on the "Remembertheeighties.com" website to win tickets and I have been contacted tonight to say I have won two tickets for the weekend!! Am I dreaming this too!
Only problem is I was originally going to buy tickets and go with my mate but she can't get Monday off (neither can Jim) so I thought before I ask other friends is there anyone else who wanted to go to see Fourgoodmen (and many others) who could maybe join me?
Doesn't include accommodation so thats the first dilemma I'm afraid but may even be VIP (1 in 5 chance!) and I would have to travel by public transport unless someone is prepared to pick me up/meet me (coming from near Liverpool - Sandra/Loretta - is this possible?) so I'm open to offers!
Have a couple of other friends I could ask but think time off may be a problem for them. Would hate to turn the tickets down particularly after the fab weekend we have had with the band - HELP!!! Dilemma!!! Please PM if you prefer (is it working now Ash?) or its AndreaFarrington@hotmail.com asap please.
Fourgoodmen here I come (maybe ).......

Chance would be a fine thing
Loretta versus the wasp......
I will try and keep this as short as poss, but there were many of the little blighters buzzing round at the weekend, I was very paranoid about them cos in the past I have been stung.. I was chattin to Andrea when I felt a tickle in my pants, I moved and I couold feel it again... so I hurled my drink at Andrea and ran screaming through the crowd to the loos...
I proceeded to yank my jeans down without even undoing them and forgetting to lock the door.. and having gone commando a woman pulled open the door baring my bum to the retrofest crowd... nice!!
|
Loretta
|
By the way it wasnt a wasp either.., just a rather long tag inside my jeans.......

We had two campervans and the van for the gear. I slept in one, Carrie and Yvonne slept in the other one , and James slept in the van. We were too p+++** to notice the discomfort. Great weekend though, wasn't it?

Here's a very distant pic of the gig off the Real Radio web-site when "Steve", a presenter on the station, joined the band for the "la la lars" if I recall correctly I think he is in Ash's slide show on the web-site with Yvonne http://scotland.realradiofm.com/p...?wallID=32139&photoID=2127745

Hmm, I seem to remember being asked to retrieve a bra and throw some knick knacks onstage........ not sure if it was the carlsberg or the 4GM posse that put that memory there
Awesome weekend anyway and hope everyone in the 4GM camp enjoyed it!

Hi Ian,
Didn't know you were already a member here Did you get my Flickr PM?
Sounds like you have a few interesting Retrofest anecdotes! Care to share some more for those of us who weren't lucky enough to be there?
Cheers,
Dakota

ianmcf

Heh, yeah got the pm, did I not reply? could have sworn I had
As for anecdotes I had to walk past camp 4GM at the end of each night probably singing big country songs..... should have got some pics, unless anyone with the band got any?
Speaking of which, who were the other two guys shooting? I swear I met at least one of them before @ the arches gig.
