Went to a pretty wonderful little festival yesterday with elise. It took place in a small artist's colony called the hidden lane because it is...well sort of hidden. There were shops, tons aof live music, good eats, and a lot of heavy smoking and drinking.
I've discovered ust about all of the UK is really into festivals. I was listening to BBC 1 on the radio and they dedicated an entire hour and a half to the many many festivals that occur throughout the summer. Whereas in the US we only have Coachella, Bonnaroo and a few other notables, across the pond festival-ing is a heavily integrated aspect of summer life (though there are many throughout the year). The hidden lane was a one day event, but most festivals last for several days and include some impromptu structures. This reminds me of the intro to CAMPS, where the author mentions refugee camps and the like as an aspect of camp and space culture.
The co-host on the radio reminisced about the three day camping with no shower, an experience that all Brits and Scots know- what she called 'a craving for a bath like no other".
