Cock of the weekend

[ward]

Did anyone hear that angry man who shouted "stop throwing all the glow sticks you cunts", or something close to that.... at the end of the Squarepusher set...

get a grip mate! have some fun!

[boki]

Oh, jeez - I can understand people being like that if they go to the club night knowing nothing about Bang Face but being lured in by one or two acts on the lineup, but once somebody's spent a whole weekend amongst it you'd think they'd get a clue. And really, if you haven't warmed to it by then your heart must be made of shit and broken glass.

[Stairwell]

Saint acid mentioned a girl taking a crap in a corridor as well...

Well, when a girl's gotta go, she gotta go...

girls don't poo.

[SoloStrike]

Haha, that bloke was quite near me. Ironically he was towards the back where NO glowsticks at all were landing!

Maybe some people get comedown earlier than others...

Amen

The glowsticks being thrown through the air is probably the best use I've ever seen for glowsticks. Proper added to my floating away dureing squarepusher.

Next year their should be glowstick cannons fireing out glowsticks at regular intervals

...true say my brother from another mother

[funkenstein]

loving the glowstick cannon, but as mothers around the world would say "You'll take someone's eye out with that"

I seen a couple of people right towards the front middle that just stood there looking angry, one physically pushing me away, complaining about the sweat.... ho hum, got sweat all over him anyway, even if it wasn't mine

[Dominick Destruction]

I nominate the actual cock of the weekend (not the guy himself, I'm sure he's lovely...) that we discovered when going through out pics... we didn't notice this when taking the pics but I have on my laptop a shot of some guy full frontal where he'd flashed at us... you can see everything! I'll give him this... he must of been quick about it when the pic was being taken for no one to realise! Sir I think this may not be your first time flashing

Shall I post an edited copy up so you lot can see if you recognise him? haha

[bangwhoop!]

Cock of the weekend has got to be whichever bastard stole my bag during Squarepusher.

Admittedly I stupidly left it whilst I went off to dance but I just got too carried away with the feel-good vibes and total excitement. They threw away my shoes and jumper but kept a phone, camera, wallet and, worst of all, a yellow hi-vis vest with an acid smiley-face on the back. I am so gutted that I lost that!

I did have the best weekend of my life though so am just trying to view it as collateral damage, although which sort of tosser comes all the way to bangface and then spends Squarepusher thinking about theiving is totally beyond me.

Big love to everyone else though, including all the organisers and security. It was beyond the best festival I have ever been to - I'm only just beginning to feel normal again. I think we should go for a week next time!

ah, that is a complete wounder mate! still, your voice sounds like an echo of mine. it really was something very very special and you're right about the strange mentality of someone who comes to bangface and then starts thinking of thieving. i thought there was enough consideration in the air to muffle any wrong-doings. alas! i'm glad u have enough smiles to cover up your losses.
i almost lost my bag and camera at the end of scotch egg on the first night. i'd put them under one of those little stages to either side of the stage so could go for a full on tap dance without fear of breaking the camera. after it'd finished it wasnt there any more. luckily i was (dare i say it?) "clear" minded enough to remember that cleaners tend to walk off with that shit so i called one over and one of the guys had my bag and camera. PHEW!

Seconded

See if you can make money by setting up a banghface porn site. Mr bang room wank would probably pay for membership!

[katblack77]

My boyfriend was trying to get through the crowd at squarepusher to get our key off our team leader and someone punched him in the stomach for no reason at all.

sorry for your boyfriend but that's funny

[midgewinky]

I think I was probably the biggest cock of the weekend losing my hoody, bank card, jacket, sim card, a bottle of vodka and my chalet all at different point over the weekend. definitely karma for having way too much fun.

Unseconded! Please do put up the pic - but put it behind a link marked "not work safe" please. Thanks.

Nah, not a cock. But probably muppet of the weekend!

Indeed, I can sympathise with that from people down the front... as Bangers, we all love that mashpit vibe; inflatables flying around, the pushing and shoving... pure rave energy... but it did get a bit much sometimes (especially given the heat) and it would've been nice if people respected the slightly more dispersed crowd at the back's need for space/calm... at the end of Sunday night, there were a lot of peoplein there running on fumes who just wanted to make it to the end of Squarepusher's set whilst still having a good time. Picking on the glowstick throwers is definitely meanspirited, because they weren't having an effect on anyone... if a glowstick hit you, it didn't even throw you off your step or mildly hurt (and they looked BEAUTFIUL!), but when the odd person ran out of the pit holding an inflatable and then whacked as many people as they could with it who were just minding their own business at the back because they were a bit broken, it was a little bit too much, I thought.

I don't think I could've survived 3 days in the mashpits and I've got a bigger appetite for that kind of behaviour than most people I know!

[shat noir]

seen this quote on a mate's profile, made me smirk

Some people need to learn 'Raving Manners' as put in place in '88 - you alright mate, sorry mate, no problem, want a drink of my water, have a drink of my water, where you from, excuse me mate - you should also try and pass someone who is dancing like you are the invisible man and try and squeeze through impossible small spaces without anyone noticing!

not sure where it's from tho
