Now, whilst Beyonce's Run the World is so shit I couldn't make it 30 seconds in, when my radio alarm clock went off it was playing Best Thing I Never Had and was so surprised at how good it was I wondered if I'd just dreamt it. Probably cos of the slight guitar solo at the end.

Just realised I'll have to be packed and ready for BOA by Friday; I'm off to the Dales until Wednesday then I'm at Eyehategod in Manc. This means festival shopping day has been brought forward a week, along with the excitement.

My dad always books our holiday over the BOA weekend, so every year, excluding last, I've had to be packed and ready at least a week before. It's always so tense.

To be honest, all I need is food I think. I'll pick up booze from Tesco in Lichfield and I'm fairly sure I've got everything else anyway.

I could probably do with deciding if I'm actually going or not.

I just need a tent, but they're on offer rpactically everywhere at the minute what with all the shitty weather so that shouldn't be aproblem. Could probably do with some blank tapes too I guess.

I only really need food and toiletries, and that's a Wednesday evening job.
I guess I should decide what clothes I'm taking but that's a weekend job (in case owt needs washing)
And then I just need to check if I can find the spare pillow and chair.

So basically everything bar tent and sleeping bag :lol:

We needed a tent and a few bits and bobs.
Still need a chair and the food.
Quite a nice cheap year, seeing as tents seem to be nicely reduced.

Guess we could do with actually buying tickets too... :eyes:

Need to sort food, booze and sleeping bag, rest is all sorted I reckon. Maybe a hat of some sort in case it's sunny, but I don't think any hat would suit me.

Not Jack Daniels. Never Jack Daniels.
I used to have a link to a social networking site here but these days you all probably already know who I am.

Bought a tent yesterday, it's one of those swish ones that pops open on its own and folds back with one pull of a string.

No more poking neighbours in the eyes with huge long poles. Hurrr.
