By the Beard of Rosie!

Tomorrow is the day of the big move down to London! Am both most excited and most pooing my pants but hopefully everything should go smoothly!

As a leaving present Rosie and I swapped our uni gnomes which we had bought each other for a pound at the pound shop (heres mine, hes called Rosie)




















and here is Rosie with her gnome, Juli....






I hope we shall have very nice times together :D

Am just about to leave to go to a leaving dinner at Ask with some more friends so I shall leave you with a few words of wisdom uttered on a Murder She Wrote set in Russia...


"I think you have the look of somone who has caught the canary i the cookie tin!"

Finally!

Finally! will do last Reading post!
Rightyho!

XX Teens - First in the tent for these! Had wanted to see them for ages, but were more 'rocky' than ' crazy', not a bad thing but a little different from expected. Plus i kept thinking the singer looked like Ob from Hollyoaks!










Also saw the Death Set in the lavely dance tent, followed by...

Robots in Disguise - Glitter ball spaceship = genius! Lots of booshy fans expecting a glimse of a noel...










The Whip - Even better than last time I saw them; shame that I was eating my lunch when they were on so floor dancing was necessary



















Holy Fuck - Wasnt sure what to expect but loved it all the same!













To the Festival Republic stage to hear the cute tunes of Emmy the Great and the bloody awful whatever they call music of The Rascals...bleugh he looks like a troll...
Cage the Elephant - AMAZING! the minute he came on naked except for a tutu with red paint all over him I knew it would be good haha! Ended up getting the red stuff on my jumper and face cus he gave me a crowd hug and a kiss...which was nice :D Will deffinantly be seeing them again!











Then off to the Dance tent on my noddy to try and get to the front for CSS (huzzah!)

Whilst I was there I saw Digitalism and Simian Mobile Disco...














and finally...
CSS! - Amazing! Lots and lots of confetti, yellow facepaint and balloons! cant wait to see them again sooon



Only 6 more sleeps till the big move...

Slow Club and others

Need to finish reviewing Reading at some point! but first whilst frantically trying to mend my sodoku (or metroku ha ha) I shall tell of slow club...

went down to London to enrole on the 2nd (hurrah the promise of i-d cards!) with my boyfriend and we took the opportunity to go see Slow Club playing at Pure Groove. They were really amazing and cute and Rebecca had my dress! Also wierdly met Jeremy Warmsley who was in his words "mooching around" haha!

also shown is my new tatty brooch! it is part of their new collection (which is A-mazing!) and makes more sense when worn in a zip like fashion. My boyfriend got the huge paperclip necklace but im sure i shall be investing a lot more dosh into that new collection!

About a week ago I also went to see Crystal Castles - we got there much too late so I had to sit on a post to see which wasnt the most comfy...unfortunatly they did a really short set and seemed really angry to be there...ahh well
