Somewhere, Somewhere, Leeds United
I've been to Leeds the last three years (2006 for the Sunday, which was a shame as I really REALLY liked all the bands that weekend...but I was only ickle :( and the last two for the whole weekend) and I'm going again this year as a volunteer for Oxfam. Now, the first two years I was sober, which was interesting. There's not much to say about my first time, as it was only for a day and probably not the most exciting of events (though I remember seeing Dead Disco on the Unsigned Stage...that's Victoria Hesketh's, aka Little Boots, old band). Also saw the lead singer of Mystery Jets, though he was quite a way off and we decided it wasn't very nice to run after him (he has spina bifida)

Well. Those familiar with Leeds festival site will know, at least vaguely, the layouts of the campsites. There's Blue, close to the arena, Red, Yellow, Brown (hahahahahahahah) and Orange. Oh Orange. The main thing about Orange is the fact it's UP A FUCKING MASSIVE HILL. Seriously, it's a bloody steep angle, and muddy too. So on the last night of 2007, my (rather chemically altered) friends decided that it would be a good idea to toboggan down Orange Hill.
While pissed.
On an inflatable sofa.

Not the best story, I know, I might spend some time beautifully crafting a story about my Encounter With The Russian, or What I Gave My Best Friend For His Sixteenth Birthday, or maybe even the expanded Edinburgh Fringe Absinthe And Sobranie Saga.

Threadwaste. Sorry >_< But those going to Leeds, I'll tape the Furtive Bear to my head or something, so you know it's me ^_^

For the mention of Dead Disco.

My friend organised a gig for them
they were supporting Foals.

She'd also booked (not all at the same gig mind) Late of the Pier and The More Assured. She's got a good eye that one.

She has indeed!
Quality bands the lot of them. Really like Foals and Late of the Pier, but I hadn't heard of The More Assured before. Checked them out, they're not too shabby at all.
