Shambala festival 2008

a picture of shambala? wow! what did it look like?

 

Like very trippy with lost of people at different scales, most with sausages coming out of their heads. I really can't draw...

 

hmm, i've had two people tell me today that I shouldn't meet up with strangers on my own... I would have gone by myself anyway, it's much better to meet new people.

 

Haha you don't have to meet strangers..we're all friends here!

 

Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!

 

eerily accurate

well if you went on your own you'd just be meeting a lot of other new people. this is effectively the same thing but with some forewarning about the kinda freaks you're gonna end up hanging round with. can't be bad can it eh?

i'm well excited bout it now ^_^

 

hey guys i uploaded my few shambala pics to my gallery, if you wanna have a look at what it's like...

can't wait for proper sunshine to return to this country.

 

YES!!!! I'm going to Shambala!!!

 

Yay! Got my ticket!
Gonna be fucking awesome.

 

Woohooo!!!

 

ooh, if I can convince a couple of my partially hippie mates to come down (well technically up) I think I shall be in business too. Three questions for past goers:
1) What's the music like (site's a bit vague)
2) Would I need to bring my own weed/psychedelics or is it easy to pick up there?
3) Do they serve booze?

 

Don't know much about Shambala, but from experience of smaller festivals, it's always better to bring your own....

 

Hmmm, I better get a job to be honest, from the looks of things I'll work my way through over an ounce in the Summer hols. If only my mum wasn't so middle class and anti weed I could grow my own. Oh well.

I've figured the one thing that would tempt my mates is if there was any metal at all there. Any chance of that or am I gonna have to take the 80 mile coach journey on my own hehe?

 

You could do what Jonny and Lithium do and work the summer festivals. I wouldn't work at a big one where there are bands I'd want to see specifically, but at the small festivals it's quite easy work and they sometimes pay as well....

 

I think the crowd you get at festivals like this would rather eat their own dreads and homemade hemp tipis than be within 100 yards of a metal band...

 

Yep, stewarding is a great way to do lots of festivals for free but they all say you need to be over 18

 

Hahaha yeah, that was my thought, damn my grunger friends, actually, it's a bit of a long shot, but there's another group of absolute stoners I'm good mates with who would probably be more likely to go. I'll probs have to lure them onto the coach with a trail of pills.

 

There may be other people from the forum there, I'm considering working it, and we often meet up and camp together

 

Yep, we usually have Hipforums camps at festivals over the summer. I'm probably going to go, looks like there might be quite a few of us and you're more than welcome to camp with us.

 

Thankyou kindly! My only worry is my 'rents are bound to fuss if there's no one they know going and also punctuality and me go about as far as first base, then I fuck up and miss my opportunity to go any further. In a roundabout way, I'm essentially reliant on chronic stoners to stop myself missing the coach...ooh hehe. I shall be there though, that much I promise.
