Here's some photos from the recent outing to Rathlin Island. We did everything bigger and better this year, with a bigger rig, better marquee and a fully functioning kitchen which fed many a weary and hungry punter.

The crew were brilliant, and everyone mucked in to help out. Also, Force 10 were amazing and their hospitality was excellent as always.

After 2 weeks of couch surfing, camping and festival organisation I'm finally home in Leitrim. It's been great fun and quite exhausting. Absolute thanks to everyone who helped out with everything on Rathlin island. I'm going to sleep and back to work as normal tomorrow.

The return!

Remarkably I've gotten photos of this weekend's Mantua Festival sorted out much faster than Glastonbury photos.

A thoroughly enjoyable festival, which, despite some heavy rain before and on the Friday, there was plenty of sunshine over the next couple of days.

I have some amusing sumo wrestling videos to post up as well.

Can't wait for this now. For many years we've been going to the Jigs and Rigs festival on Rathlin Island. This year promises to be brilliant, with us bringing up all sorts of stuff to make lots of loud noises and tasty food. For more information keep an eye on the Force 10 website, and the Audio Terrorists website.

I've put up a video of the last festival which ran in 2004 (they took a wee break).

Here it is:

We got our tickets.

I never even saw a glimmer of a page load, but Jenny got through and was able to buy tickets for Pob, myself, Gaia and herself.

We is going to Glastonbury!

(and I'm going back to bed)

That time of year again. Glastonbury festival tickets are on sale as of 9am GMT this morning.
I should point out that there is no point trying unless you registered on their site over a month ago!

I dragged myself out of a very cosy, warm, Sunday bed just calling out for a lie-in. Without too much surprise I was in bed at 5am, making getting up that little bit more unpleasant.

Now I am sitting in a bit of an untidy heap on the couch, cursing the fact the wireless router signal in my girlfriend's house doesn't reach her bedroom. If it did I could at least be doing this from the comfort of bed.

Anyway, I have my phone on auto-redial, I'm clicking redial on skype as often as possible, and I have their webpage on auto-reload, and in between clicks I'm writing here. I haven't had even the glimmer of hope of a connection, although I can only imagine what their site is being hit with traffic wise right now. 2 friends of mine have gotten tickets, and another 2 are trying. Whoever gets through first, if at all, will buy for 4 of us.

It's so rivetting that I'm finding the spelling of "rivetting" is interesting. (Apparently my Firefox spell check states that 2 "t's" is wrong, but on closer inspection, using only 1 "t" is the Americanised version.)

I wish skype had an auto-redial function.
