    Default From the front line !

    I can report that Frukies attending two Rivers are embracing the delights of Chepstow with a vengance.
    The highlights include:-
    Kelvin's beer is knocking people off their feet very succesfully.
    Hippy Law Looks much better than Alex after a night on the lash with 3 Daft Monkeys.
    4am Alex a man of your age sholuld know better !
    Mrs Folk Radio seemed to be letting her hair down with gay abandon whilst bouncing around front of stage trying to get Seth's attention.
    Ben and I made friends with an 8 foot giant called Doris !
    No Frukies appear to be two headed internet stalkers, Which is always a relief.
    My mate Andy turning up dressed for Henly regatta.
    The whole Chepstow vibe.
    The Morris side who turned out to be coppers on a stag do, I suspect their Sarge wouldn't approve, although I suspect their Sarge was the one who kept dropping his trousers.
    I fell a little bit in love with a smurf.
    Buskers face when we arrived and proceeded to set up table and chairs for his champagne birthday picnic.
    The Frukie T shirts looking magnificent and it was lovely puting faces to names.


    Well done Two Rivers, I hope they can sustain it long enough to get the crowds it deserves.

    And my final note from the frontline.
    " On Saturday morning I stood on the deck of the hangover carrier Two Rivers and counted all Alex's brain cells leaving his body but I didn't count them all back in again"
    The beauty is in the imperfections.

    A nice summary Rev...

    Two Rivers broke even for the first time this year and with the move to the new location I'm hopeful that they will pull off a great festival again

    Cut & Shoot, Texas. Yes, it's a real place and much more sedate than the name might suggest.

    Why thank you very much , but in Alex's defence the man can party with the best of them (including me ) I think he pulled off his hangover well for a man woken up at half 6 after getting in at 4am . I however had make up and big sunglasses on my side

    I think you summed up the weekend wonderfully my dear. Good times all round I feel.
    I want a champagne picnic now! How cool!

    I wish you could have been there, too. It was the only downside to the whole thing. But I know you were there in spirit - while the spirit was in the rest of the lads! Probably a good thing you avoided the hangovers, though.

    I can report they are all as funny and delightful in person as they are online. Some are a bit crazier.

    But most are like this.

    Jools, think you'll find that spirits were largely absent! Apart from Meg who got her vodka head on from time to time

    Maltman was certainly as good as his word, a superbly equipped van!
