Was back in the rather aptly named Amazingstoke for the bank holiday weekend, partly for the yearly mash up of Reading beer festival & partly for Josie's birthday, both being an excuse to go a bit more over the top with alcohol/my student loan than usual.
Reading beer festival is fucking amazing, i can't think of another occasion where you can get copious amounts of 10.5% beer which is designed to taste like bark or something equally as extravagent, whilst dancing to jazz music with a load of middle aged women who love & laugh at us in eqaul amounts. And best of all the samples are free so you never actaully need buy a pint. Last year's highlights included meeting Ian 'Jazz hands' Webb and his band, he was probably a terrible example of what a forty something father should be doing, but hey inbetween his sick dancing, singing & his aggy 7foot man mountain of a band mate treating us like naughty school kids we thought he was as bad ass as they come. Im Sure some photos of this year will follow but it make take some to time to establish who took what, who lost their phone/camera on the way home, so these from last year will do.
I dont think me or sparrow can even pretend to remember this photo, the combination of 10% ale, wild boar pies & jazz hands had taken its toll by this point, we were only just 18 bless us. Editors note: im not the one doing the gay 'ali g' westside thing with my fingers, although i am fiddling with myself? hmmm not sure whats better.
All i need say is Ian Webb, a diamond amongst men
I still beleive 2008 will probably go down as the best of my life, pessimistic?
