Comments: What an enchanting evening. i arrived later than all the others, as i had to come after I'd finshed work, so naturally i was looking to catch up in the drinking stakes.

So i did.

So the evening is a blur.

I can tell you though that i had a great time, the bands all put in great performances, and the dancing was great (ask tom about his windmill attempt)

Highlights : mosh pit, me trying to walk to toms house and accidently going the wrong way, andi's tankard, katy's vodka jelly, seeing toms cows in the morning and of course.....the free peguin bars!

Lowlight : sodding rooster waking me up at ungodly hours!!!

Comments: I suppose that as the best looking at the event i'd better write a li'l report. the event started early on the thursday evening, the light was drawing in and everything was set for a perfect sidlesham sunset. we saw the sun go down to the sound of roni size, this was the most liberating experience of my life. the evening provided a chance for most people to drink excessively but i had to go to work the next day :-(. i think everyone should know how great Andi's tankard is, i feel priveliged to have sipped from it.

i think that sidfest was excellent. the only places i could have possibly had a better time this summer were creamfields, homelands, and possibly g.s.s.s. will be going again next year and will prebook my ticket. maybe next year will see the arrival of stus decks in the dance arena with a special hot mix from Psycho Music and Ed
