First Greenbelt for almost 30 years.
A lot has changed - and not just the toilets!
Highlights were - Wine & chocolate tasting with the Angels
- Shepherd's ice cream
- The smiley ladies in the Tiny Tea Tent
- Hangman Charlie, The Repercussion & Phil Pilot in the Underground
- Cathy Burton, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Rebecca Worthley & the wonderful In Camera in the Performance Cafe
- the weather!
- Anthony Wilson's poetry
- Did I mention In Camera? - (Dave Perry, Ray Khan, Andrew Rumsey & Maggi Dawn)
![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Lowlights....
not many, but - Over the Rhine
- thebandwithnoname
- not being able to get in to see Peterson cos the queues were too long
We'll be back next year.
With cushions to sit on.

The question is whether Paul and Alan's shipmates are the same ones, or are there at least 3 on there?

welsh dragon, I am an English vicar trapped in an Italian-American Quaker body. Currently they do not offer any sort of medication or surgery to help address the situation, so my Christian-Socialist, New Age psychologist and massage therapist suggested I release some of the building pressure by doing theater. Really my "shows" are really all an elaborate therapy scheme to keep me from having a complete breakdown. Thank you for contributing to my mental health.

Esmeralda - I went and looked for you at the mennonite stall a couple of times (but forgot when you were going to be there!) I did eat a couple of scrummy cookies though ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Persephone - thats exactly my feelings about communion. I remember a few years ago a fab tiny tea tent meeting of all the non-communion shippies that just happened to pop along instead of the service! I've found it rather dry and boring in the past, especially when GB is full of such interesting services - it would be better (imho) to do one style well (like have iona peeps or a new forms peep ) do it than a boring run thru of liturgy!
PT - fab definately a call for a private shipmeet/ pub meet/ I think
Highlights - ikon (though Im not sure I want to "unravel" to the point of not believing in a realist God just yet. I loved the change-the-creed idea. PT, just brilliant (and do we have places like that here - I so hope not) We queued forever to make sure we got in!. Lots of drinking tea as ever catching up with people, meeting people, etc.
Lowlights - not seeing so much of shippy people, not taking drinks onto the steps (tho I am more of a TTT person really) long queues at TTT (chai chapel was much better but they had Irritating Drummers a lot). Queues everywhere - I didnt get into Dave Tom and wanted to!!And of course being ill this year meant I wasnt as mobile and runing around as I usually do - maybe slow is a blessing in disguise though... hmmmm not sure.
We're thinking pitville next year - maybe we should have a pitville posse?? Anyone know when they announce the booking for pitville?

Well, the Shippie I spotted on the photos probably isn't the same as who Paul spotted. I base this on the fact that I'm pretty sure the Shippie I spotted has never, to my knowledge, attended a meet. We know this person through other circles (albeit circles that intersect with our Ship circles like some Venn diagram).

I had a great weekend and am glad I got there in the end. Seemed to spend far more time sitting and chatting to people than going to any events, and worked on a strategy of if it's got a queue I don't want to go (apart from Peterson's extra show which was great - I now really want to see you do the whole homo nomo show). Matt Redman and Delirious both made me feel old cos I only knew a couple of the songs, Kanda Bongo man was great fun.
Didn't see too many ship people (although I did eventually find Jack the Lass despite her managing to not see me waving in her face on Friday night) but it was great to see those I did. Finally met the Alien, and got to see how grown up the not so wee wan is getting - such a cute smile!
Ate lots of yummy Brownies in Prue's cafe, and we managed to be sat next to the divine chocolate stall just as they decided to sell their left over stock off cheap so have come home well stocked with yumminess.
Couldn't get over how much bigger it all was than last time I was there (2001) and will have to not leave it so long before I get there again. And might even manage to get scz there next time....

Indeed. I went in 01 and 02 and the layout was pretty much the same. I was rather disoriented when I arrived this time. the spill over into the central racecourse took me by surprise. I'd been fairly confident about finding the disabled with groups camping until that point!

Ah - the technical term for such a thingy is a spondonicle.

You mean all these years I've been getting it wrong when I ask someone "can you pass over the thingy ... the wotsit over there?" If I'd asked for a spondicle that would have made getting the hot pan off the heat a whole lot faster?

No, because if you google spondonicle you get a variation of spellings and the information that it seems that only the Kiwis and Aussies call their billy can grips spondonicles (under various spellings) and it is a word that was adopted from a Three Stooges sketch.

Being disorganised as usual, I'm probably the last the of Greenbelt visitors to report in... I missed the Shipmeet this year, tried to find shipmates in Beer'n'Hymns but was lucky to get to the bar (but met Sophs in a queue), briefly met Karl amongst his beads and things, and saw (but didn't speak to) Alan and Flausa. We all had a very good Greenbelt, although as usual I'm looking at all the things I missed and wondering, "Why didn't I go to that?" A fairly relaxed weekend, I think, without too much rushing about (except, as always, for the kids' clubs), but this was again the year of the queues (never got into the Tiny Tea Tent, which is a first!)

your not the last of the GB visitors to check in Rev, hope that makes you feel more organised.
I wasnt going to post on this for a bit yet actually, but thought I would pop by in end ...
I wrote my initial greenbelt reaction on my blog, and to be honest I had a beautifully stunning weekend, even though I didnt attend much.
I found heaven in the ordinary by sitting having tea, eating food, drinking wine, seeing friends, chatting to people and generally slobbing around.
Highs-
-grace communion by numbers (probably one of the only programmed things I made an effort to go too, and was really pleased I did). Just felt like one of "those moments" and is quite hard to explain.
-catching up with friends, and impromptu coffee sessions
-not cramming anything and everything in, and then feeling really relaxed all weekend.
-the sun
-didnt find a disgusting toilet right up until tuesday morning
- feeling really well most of the weekend until Monday evening (see lowlight)
Lows
-missing peterson toscano (sorry mate, tis a long story, but was lovely to meet you in the beer tent the night before with AD)
-missing Duke Special and Speed Christianity,
in fact missing most of the last night due to seizures and being in the medical tent for most of it
(thanks to the random blokes who found me, the stewards and first aid team who were great apparently, and the wonderful Greenbelt Hospital, who were lovely)
- feeling and looking like hell tuesday morning, and q'ing out side porta loos for what felt like an age
(trying to decide how flattered I should feel that someone did try to pull me while waiting, with my bog roll in one hand and ciggie in the other - I am amazed I got a number and email though)
I did have some other bits to write, but have forgotten, so thats it for now ...
(edited to sort out my poor coding)

Highlights - dfg, yes, though were they almost sort of serious in the build up of'one day we're all going to die'? I thought that bit was either not funny enough or self-indulgent, though the end was just wonderful... Beer and hymns, Steve Stockman, and then a couple of panels. The spirituality in ordinary life one was interesting, and oddly enough the 'Am I bovvered' one with the liturgical commission was very interesting if you're into that sort of thing. Ikon - amazing, still have my piece of wool. And the fact that people seemed to stick to the theme more, which meant that I got cross-fertilisation of ideas from one seminar to another.
Lowlights, not getting into Peterson's show, and not being told by the steards when they must have realised ages before. Not getting into Dave Tomlinson. My daughter also didn't get into James Allison. They seemed to have a lot of speakers who they should have known would be big draws in the inside lounges rather than the tents - OK they couldn't know the weather would be so good, but unless it's actually raining you can put the sides down on those and space isn't a problem. And Centaur seemed to be unused for a lot of the time.
Communion - so-so. Liked the balloons, and I'm one of the people who thinks that the songs SHOULD be ones that we know; John Bell trying to teach four part harmony in five minutes and confusing everyone is my abiding lowlight of the 2002 Greenbelt. But my daughter was making notes, and when I last spoke to her was getting serious about finding out how you make a pitch to organsie the communion service...

Entirely tangentially, does anyone else have a sort of ghost wristband sensation? I carefully cut mine off on Tuesday, but every now and then it feels like I'm still wearing it.
Maybe I'll wear it a notch looser next year...

Still wearing it. I usually forget to cut it off for a few weeks afterwards. And someone I was chatting to at GB still had her wristband on from her uni ball several months ago, and didn't want to take either of them off now because of the tan lines they'd leave behind.

My Highlight was definately Duke special, loved his stage presence and his voice.
Lowlight was not getting into see the puppets, and not being told until we had queued for some considerable time.
Also when in Homo Nomo i was next to 2 older ladies who were obviously not enjoying it, They made no move to go out but made my listening very uncomfortable instead.
The weekend was everything we have come to expect,although camping seems to be getting more difficult( we will be 50 next year) so maybe something a little more comfy next year,
It was great to catch up with the shipmates we managed to find.
and for those we didnt , we missed you!!!!!!

We do the same, after years of getting frustrated by the Communion service. Why is it so anglican? Why does it have to be a communion service?
A Highlight (I keep remembering things) was the 5 year old and 2 year old 'snake handling' at the stall opposite the drumming tent. They were thrilled!
We spent lots of our 'down time' at the Drumming tent this year. I think we were confused by the Tiny Tea Tent being in a different place.
And what about John O'Donohue? Am I the only one who wanted to take him home with me?

John O'Donahues are worth ordering. I plan to. His accent is so wonderful that I would rather listen then read, even though I bought a book. In fact, we plan to start up our Greenbelt discussion group, that has fallen by the wayside, to listen and discuss his talks

Lucy Winkett's talk would be worth listening to if you didn't already realise that feminism has something to say to the churches that the churches ought to listen to. Which I rather suspect you do...

On the same basis, John Bell's first talk on 'God and her Girls' was an interesting take on female reflections of God in the Bible, done in John's usual style. The Mark Yaconelli ones were also good - clearly takes after his father!

I didn't get to any of those, I wondered how good they'd be. It must be very hard for him to come to somewhere like GB where his father was such a frequent, and much admired, speaker. It's quite a set of shoes to fill and he's always going to be compared to his father. Good to hear at least one person thought he did a good job doing that.
Did anyone get to the Keith Ward talk? Is it worth my while downloading the MP3 (no need to fill the flat up with more CDs)?

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Drat. I missed Emma then, haven't seen her since her wedding. I knew she was friends with a couple who did jewelry and stuff and had a stand a Greenbelt but I never found it. Where was it?

Huge great thing next to CMS
Finally got round to looking at the map to find where CMS was. I never went round there. I always went left when I came back from the Franciscans after I'd gone past the main stage. Though I took it pretty easy this year I didn't do the wander round the shops things at any point.

I'd like to know that as well; I've quite admired Keith Ward's combative style, but he gave a truly terrible talk at the St. Mary's, Warwick, Lent talks this year, which rather put me off going to listen at GB. (It was as if he'd digested a load of popular physics books and found that the wilder shores of modern physics somehow Prove Christianity...not good)

I didn't get to the other two, but the Mark Yaconelli one on Love was wonderful (I think it was called How to make sure you have a Well Attended Funeral), would definitely recommend that one.
I was thinking of getting the one on Satire from the Friday and the James Alison and Dave Tomlinson ones cos I missed all of the. Did anyone actually get into them & were they any good?

I think I am going to get the Mark Yaconelli ones, Dave Tomlinson and the John Bell one on women. Will give me something to listen to in the car when I am driving around for work!

I thought Mark Yaconelli was wonderful. He lived up to his fathers name and reputation.

"Message to a Dying Church" was fantastic. I recommend the download to all.

Of those I heard Annie, two stand out although the one-liners during Billy Bragg's plea for a British Constitution may be worth 50p.
DOUG GAY on the Emerging Church:
Although presented like a thesis with a five point form including analysis and breakdown followed by choice of pieces and creation of a new form, he recognised that any new emergence would be different and that creates divisions.
One for the theology students.
JOHN DAVIES - Heaven in Ordinary:
Easy listening and clear diction that was like chinese food. Easy to eat but lacking in lasting value. The one point he made that I liked was that HEAVEN includes both good and bad. Fragrance and Stench, Ice Cream and Marmite, Brad Pitt and Auntie Doris ... you get the idea!
Love,
N.
