THE FENCE HOMEGAME (Is Over)

So again i've been very slack in posting this as i got back from scotland on monday, but i've just been too tired (and lazy). woah!! what a weekend! the best time i've had in a long while. for those who don't know, i (along with some hangers-on and a little monkey my brother brought along for some reason?) flew to Scotland for the Fence Collective's 3rd Homegame festival. it's in a little town in East Fife called Anstruther. 3/4 days of non-stop music and drinking..i like those things. watched some really great music, met some really nice/odd/fun people, did some stupid things, and camped it up (not like John Inman..i mean i frooze to death in a tent). below are some highs and lows. sorry if you don't know what i'm talking about with some of them..i posted this else where you see and i'm not gonna go choppin' it up (like John Inman).

HIGHS..
* square sausage
* brilliant sets from EVERYONE i saw..too many to mention.
* gummi bako's big smile
* hot pants girl (aw!)
* romanhead's eminem..brilliant! backwards swearing too
* being asked to dj for the big town hall crowd before the saturday night gig (honoured), but then realizing that we only had about 10 cds in the wallet that i took in the car cos we didnt know we were gonna be asked. and then there was only 1 cd player..so u got lots of stop-starts. amateurs!

* band aid style singsong at end of saturday night
* HMS ginafore's woody allen impressions
* magners n ice (amazing cider)
* boring poor old vic galloway (radio 1) with all my tim westwood questions
* watching people eating massive deepfried double cheeseburgers (and being a bit jealous..actually wish i had gone for the deepfried pizza)
* delifinger being told he looks like james blunt by some old woman in a cafe
* local nutty pool shark. beat all 7 of us and then fell on floor pretending to have a fit. he kept saying "more aggression! less aggression!"
