a

Thats Mark Ibold, bass player from Pavement. He still looks 19

 

[Thebeard]

Mark Ibold is a hero.

Asshole indeed. Can't believe they even allowed children that young at EP, it's not a safe place for small children.

Safer than city streets, country roads and farms, I betcha. Or many houses. I'm glad they allow little kids, I think Ireland would be a better place if we included them more

 

[Gambra]

Ugh, Lookin at g-sterotypicals pics there reminds of me of all the pics I have ruined by the security guys bloody jackets! Do they have reflective things like that on them just to ruin pics??

Safer if yer country roads and farms have thousands of people running around on pills 24/7 and sound systems with volumes loud enough to do permanent ear damage from relatively short exposures.

Oh yeah, it's terrible all the children who are injured each year from stampeding pillheads, it dwarfs the numbers hurt on the roads

 

[RSJ]

What on god's green earth are you on about?

 

[egg_]

I'm disagreeing with you, dude. A child with a careless parent at a festival is in less danger than a child with a careless parent in a city, on a farm, on a road. Pillheads aren't actually dangerous, y'know?

 

[RSJ]

Fair enough. I still don't think it's a safe place for very young children (pillheads probably aren't dangerous on their own, but if there's pills left lying around, what's to stop a kid from taking one), but then again i don't have any so it's none of my beeswax.

P.S. didn't you also think it was totally safe for them mccans to leave the kids unattended in some foreign country? I think we have very different ideas about what's safe for kids but again, you have kids and i don't so i'm probably not in a position to judge.

walking your kid down the street with fumes from traffic is bad two.

so, no festivals and no walking so. so.

so so.

Haha
No dude, I thought it wasn't what you'd call high-risk - kids getting left unattended for brief periods is common and abductions are very rare - and I thought it was unfair that everyone was so down on them for a fairly minor sin.

I think we have very different ideas about what's safe for kids but again, you have kids and i don't so i'm probably not in a position to judge.

Nothing's safe for kids. It's a question of trying to minimise the risk while allowing them to experience life and learn things for themselves. This morning Isabelle was picking blackberries in the ditch while I was putting her seat in the car - she could have cut herself on the thorns, eaten a snowberry and got sick, slipped and banged her head on a rock, or even sneaked out onto the road while I was struggling with the seatbelt. The safest thing would have been for me to leave her inside with her ma until the seat was in and I could put her straight into it, but ... well, hippy-ish though this might seem, I want her to LIVE, y'know? (and of course she knows the difference between all the berries, and she knows to walk on the side of the road, and she's a good climber)

If you saw Maddie at EP, you should contact Stradbally garda station immediately.

Here, did anybody buy alcohol from the onsite off licence?
We brought little or no cans with us on the presumption that we could buy it there (didn't order in advance).

Went up to the off licence around 4pm on Friday to be robotically and callously told 'we are sold out, pre-orders only'.
We informed the staff there that the official website clearly stated that alcohol could be purchased from the off licence all weekend in addition to it being reserved in advance. This statement was met with glazed eyes and a vacant stare..

I preordered mine. 2 things pissed me off about the off licence, thing the first was the fact that I had to queue 30 minutes to get served, it seemed a bit disorganised checking off names from the list of people that had ordered booze. Thing the second was that it was fucking miles away from my campsite, I may as well have brought drink and carried it in from the car with me.

I can remember all the music I saw but the stuff with people, a lot of has slipped my mind and is only coming back to me now. Over the past few days thanks to an e-mail I sent to someone I met on the Sunday who I'd not seen in a while saying that it was nice to run into them again and they replied teasing me about some load of ridiculous bullshit I said to one of her friends that I'd completely forgotten about I've been remembering lots of stupid, ultra inebriated things I did and said to people over the weekend. I kissed one thumpeder 3 times (both cheeks and forehead) as a greeting when I ran into her prior to (I think) Deerhoof/after Final Fantasy. egg_ and Sparse got off light, I just talked bollocks to them.

I saw a little girl with a fucked up pupil on the Saturday night, I thought she was pilled up but now that you mention it.

If you had met me we would've been a perfect match.
