Anyone see it last night, i recorded it, coz i was at Millwall, but watched it when i got home, fast forwarded all the bits about that geezer and that bird trottin around Doncaster or somewhere a bit minging like that, and just watched the festi bits. Thats the first I've seen of Vinny, looks a bit like Minty out of Eastenders.
The overall impression i got was that the festival is just too darn loud though, and the poor old village people (the goodies) were the victims of a youth movement thats sweepin the nation by storm and people like Vinny and the bands that perform there like the Ozrics (the baddies) have no regard for the village people, even though the village people say it themselves, they love music, Doris and Stanley often go for a sing song round the club and catch up with old friends and they don't have to have there music loud. So bearin this in mind, if eventually you may do another festival, how about a tent for the village people, call it the jazz/swing tent and have a bit of Max Bygraves, bit of Vera, then they wont moan about all the boom boom boom, or we could really pissem off and do it in the village hall next time, and also next time don't call it a festival either because thats where the baddies go, call it the eastern haze fete, should be alright then.

The double standards that are never questioned : Leeds festival - on occasion there has been a bit of aggro (burger vans being torched, fences pulled down etc, residents complaining etc) and every year the same questions are asked about this festival and others, with a view to denying a licencse to the organisers.
Contrast this with football matches - Leeds united have won three games on the trot and out come the idiots, beating people up and destroying property and scaring everyone. Yet no one ever requests that a football match be banned.

Also, just another idea, how about a bingo tent, let it go on to about five in the morning, so the village people can see the sun come up while they're playin a full house.

as far as noise is concerned, when the tv programme showed the guy measuring excessive volume levels away from the site, my wife was so annoyed, she raised her voice(a very rare occasion) and exclaimed 'thats f**king bullshit we slept right behind the main stage with the kids and they were alright'.
we had 3 of our sons with us for the haze, 2 with quite severe mental disabilities.
more specifically our eldest cant cope with loud noise or a break with his sleep patterns to the point he can self harm to a sometime shocking degree.
however, we physically couldn't have been any closer to the main stage without being in it, we were so close we shared the power supply for the main stage!!
yet our eldest didnt self harm at all that weekend, he slept well and wasnt disturbed by it in the least.
(for those worried that we would put our son in this position under the circumstances please be aware , we had a backup plan involving spare tents if required).
if our autistic son could deal with it sleeping in a tent only a few yards away from the main stage soundsystem then those pensioners shown on tv need to have the settings on their hearing aids checked out.
maybe the next 2 weeks shows will demonstrate that the haze wasn't 'the bad guys' after all. we shall see eh?

i can't believe how brief the whole thing was, though...
i guess i still have 44 mins, 56 seconds of fame remaining!
vinny looked good though.... and i did catch a glimpse of my profile for half a second on the kit...
also heard a nano second of snakepit and a bit of kick muck.
oh well....

Maybe it's true what this guy who was also shown on the programme said - that the noise isn't (or doesn't seem to be) as bad when you're in the centre of it, for example on or near the main stage or on the festi site; however if you're outside it, eg in the village or in a field near the village with nothing else in it, then it seems much noisier or something like that. Maybe some physicist can shed some light here. So, basically, yes, maybe they should evict the old folks from the village for the duration of the festival and put them right in the middle of it and play some shanty music. (Am I discriminating against old people now?!) Whatever... They have the same problem near the Glade Festival - all the local people don't like the noise, but they have resigned themselves to the fact that the festi is good for the economy and in general and therefore put up with it for 3 days a year. Must be a different mentality in Suffolk then... I don't know what EH 2007 was like noise-wise, but I was there in 2006, and compared to Glade or other festis it was nothing like it...
Rant over...
