Gatecrasher Day 2 - rain and wind

I dont want to leave my tent. Rain and wind have lashing down for the past four hours after our crawl back from Switch at the Electric Stew tent.
The revised forecast for today is rain all day into Monday.

*sigh*

Today is packed with things to see from 1pm through to the close at 6am, with Brodinski's 4am set top of a few of our lists.
First I need dry clothes and get some food. More to come later, folks...

Gatecrasher Day 1 - onwards to Vitalic

It's only gone 1am. Hour two of Paul van Dyk's three set in the Crasher arena. We need a breather so we're sat in the corner sipping beer.
The Prodigy were hit and miss, very stop start and the wind not helping them, but it eventually settled for them to belt out some classics.
Things are pretty surreal with the cold, the smoke and the terrific choice on offer.
It's hard to tell if people know what they are here for - the music, the drugs... I guess they go hand in hand in these places.
Italian remix mob Crookers are our next port of call before a date with Vitalic...

Gatecrasher Day 1 - and Mr van Dyk

Oooh and Paul Van Dyk....

Gatecrasher Day 1 - full swing

Camp OMH is now in operation. Pegging a tent in galeforce winds has its moments but it hasnt been kind on Does It Offend You Yeah over on the live stage.

Uffie cancelled and to compund things drinks are £4.50 a pop.


Still we have drum n bass. Right now we're in the Electric Stew taking in a very very loud set from Radioclit. Digitalism, The Prodigy and Vitalic to come...

Gatecrasher Day 1

The three o'clock from Victoria has departed. The destination simply says 'Gatecrashers.' Spirits are good, everyone is clean and basking in the London sun.

The forecast for Northampton is a high of 19 degrees with some rain mid afternoon and early tomorrow morning - not quite the summer sound system then, but no one is too bothered. We should arrive by the time its cleared up...maybe even to catch Keith Flint start spiking his horns.
