Reality Checkpoint

[Exulus]

Anyone from that camp/see it? I had a good "ALAAAN!" match with those guys (i think..or someone camped near them) by inspiral - they had the funniest little gazebo thing though..making it out of foil and bendy tent sticks..so precarious!

Shame not more people joined in the Alan'ing - but it was comforting that others nearby understood it

Gary is the new Alan

[Exulus]

Yeah i heard all the Gary's too - how did that one start?

[laurennoodles]

i don't know but it was non stop by my tent!

[FOTZA]

Alan is a cunt.

Hah, we all joined in Alan-ing, not a clue what it was all about, but it was amusing

[Beatmonkey]

Yea distinct lack of allaning all weekend. I did have a quick search for him once or twice and a few people joined in

That was us!

I made the flag in 2006 out of a bed sheet and some stick-on vinyl lettering. I really didn't expect it to still be in one piece three festivals later.

The Reality Checkpoint is a well known lamp post in Cambridge. We hoped to get a more substantial Cambridge camp going but I think everyone else is too lazy to walk that far down the site.

It managed to stay up all weekend as well, which I wasn't really expecting. Those emergency blanket things are a lot tougher than you might think.

It did have a bit of a tendency to flap around when the wind got up ... and the constant crinkling and crackling made it quite hard to sleep so we'll be coming up with a different design for next year.

It kept the rain off on Friday though, so we always had a dry place to sit - well worth the time it took to build!

[16-BIT]

[pd2h]

Aww brilliant guys I have to admit it was a mighty creation and we did take verbal bets on whether it may be in the tree come the morning Looked fun though!

PS, Goat Poison. Maybe it's due to my being on my seventh can of Skol (don't laugh, it's 90p for 4 cans in Tesco) or maybe because it's I'm such a total Luddite; either way I dunno how to get that image to show on here. Can you sort it?
