Watercam

One camera. One roll of tape. One inflatable ring meant for a baby. Let's do this.

Headcam

Yesterday I decided to get all DIY and create a new way to film things for the blog. I took my Indian head dress and took out the feathers, went to a pound shop and bought some tape and then attached my little camera to the headband and wore it round my head. Surprisingly painful actually. But wore it to run down the steps into the festival and skip about on the sand. Claire filmed me doing it on my phone so that you can see how daft it looked. Got some mad strange looks too. Classy.

Greetings!

So as another evening in Bulgaria draws to a close (well, the party does actually carry on for many more hours but I've got to sleep or I'll fall apart), now is the time to briefly reflect on the trip so far. One word: great. Amazing winners, awesome weather, fab tunes, good interviews and an all round great experience. It amazes me that even into week 12, every festival is totally different. From the attitude of the security to the layout to the lineup to the location to the volume - no two have even been similar (even the two in the same place in Croatia!). What a wonderfully super job this is. Do not think I'm ever getting complacent about it - I thank my lucky stars a few squillion times a day that I am where i am. And you get to come too! Cheers lovely Trident bosses x

Well that looks silly

Still.. Might be a fun way to spend the evening ;)

Hey ladies!

Here is Ven, myself and Claire getting ready for dinner and our evening out! Hello!

Lunchtime in Bulgaria

Have just done an interview with Ewan from Apollo 440 at his hotel in Burgas - and have decided to hang out here for a little longer and enjoy the pool/food/scenery before the festival kicks off in a few hours. Nice.

I've been busy...


I've been busy building words out of stone using stop-animation. Results on Tuesday!

The prodigy get bright in Bulgaria

Amazing set from The Prodigy at Spirit of Burgas last night. 90 minutes of the banging biggest hits. Language barriers always easy to overcome with plenty of swearing and shouting. Hooray ;)

Apollo 440 on the main stage

Pretty impressive mad loud tunes from the 440 crew!

Bulgarian punk rock

I may have tried dancing and tripped. A festival with an entirely sandy floor is tougher than it looks to navigate!
