As any old hippy will tell you, festivals aren't what they used to be. Gone are the days when you could announce a happening, call up a few mates with drums and guitars, and put the word out that something groovy and free was about to kick off. In these buttoned-down times, it would be treated like an al-Qaida training camp. Today, you must apply for a licence and spend months of your life filling in forms and liaising with the various responsible authorities.*chuckle*

Comedy gold, that article. Thanks.
It is all beginning to backfire on them now... It makes me soooo happy!!!
I not keen on agreeing with the Moonbat but he's right for once. Shit, I hate it when that happens.
Curiously enough, a few of us were discussing doing our own mini-festival this year and dressing up in Burqas for the hell of it! :D
Alas, a combination of not-being-arsed and too-much-time-in-the-pub led to it not happening.
"...Moonbat's desire for freedom and spontaneity is just priceless."
I can imagine the anguished squealing that went on when they realised that, yes, the rules apply to the favoured sons of the new establishment too...
"Comedy gold, that article."
And the comments! Well, those the mods haven't zapped...
"It is all beginning to backfire on them now"
Mmmm, schadenfreud. It's what's for dinner! :)
"I not keen on agreeing with the Moonbat but he's right for once."
He never once draws the obvious conclusion from his experience, though, does he?
