Daleks outrank Beer* so I am still way cooler on the ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif) Famous Greenbelt Author front ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Anyway, I spent a happy night last Greenbelt sat in Beer & Hymns laughing at a friend who wanted to talk to a Famous Greenbelt Person but was too overawed 'till a few pints in, so this year it will be much more convienient to already know a Famous Greenbelt Author beforehand in order to bask in reflected cool. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
*Note: I don't drink Beer, so most things outrank it. However, Daleks outrank everything ever, so nyahhh.

They still had cider left, and were trying to empty the barrels at a pound a pint. Which is the only excuse I have for my behaviour. At least four other Shipmates were there at the time. I draw the veil of cronegiality over their behaviour.
I have no idea what cronegiality means but I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on that bench outside the tent, seeing dawn rise over Greenbelt through a cider induced haze......

Sorry. It's late and I'm in Bangkok airport waiting for my connection to London and the new airport building here is rather tent-like, so I'm imagining sitting in a big tent, with a glass of red in one hand, a bottle of Bailey's within reach, and various people trying to out-do each other with Greenbelt beer-tent stories. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

It's looking increasingly likely that the fine folks from the Home department aren't going to let me in because the not-so-fine folks from the USAnian analogue have not got their stuff together and a passport renewal takes 12 weeks.

Office. Its an office, not a Department.
Bummer.
Over here we have a (rather tedious) fast-stream procedure to get passports. I think it involves signed letter from the Pope and filling in dozens of forms you have to hand in rather than post.
One of our organists at church earns money by queuing to hand in passport forms. Really. He can get money for waiting in line to present documents on behalf of someone who reckons they get paid too much an hour t make it sensible fot them to so it i person.
Is there no such scheme in the USA?

Thanks, Ken. I knew "department" didn't sound right. Too french.
They have schemes like that but all the channels are stuffed at the moment. I'm meeting with our company travel person tomorrow to determine if there are any plausible expediting options. I'm not hopeful.

This is the point at which I start flapping - I asked the office to send my wristband (and what's this about a box?!) to TME's place, and they took the details and said that in effect it means that his address is now down as my address too, but he said that he's had no mailings at all for me from GB since I've been away, so I'm now getting worried that the system actually didn't update after all and that my wristband has been sent to my Glasgow address anyway (where I won't get it till October).
Wow that's a long sentence. Can you tell I'm flapping? I've just emailed the office anyway, so hopefully it will be sorted out soon and I'll find something else to flap about.
I hope your rain stops soon. My wellies are really embarrassing (Farmer Giles type) but as I've never worn them I really can't justify buying a nice funky new pair like Auntie Doris's. I really hope I don't have to wear them, I'll look like your poor embarrassing untrendy friend that nobody wants around but nobody quite dares to tell

On the subject of wellies, a friend who got very soggy at Latitude last weekend is lending me her funky, bright red and flowery ones.
As for the boxes, I believe we have to be creative with them. Or in them.
Not sure there's room... ours is very wee.

I need new wellies, but can't find any which fit. Which is rather pants cos it means I keep getting wet feet!
(Actually, despite wearing the wellies which don't fit, the flood water was over the top of them yesterday so I got wet feet anyway.)

Flap!
Last year I ordered my ticket from Australia and asked them to send the ticket to my (then) Melbourne address, adding an extra pound or two to cover the international postage. I did this with a couple of months to spare, but when I was on the verge of leaving for the UK, it still hadn't arrived. Panicking that it would arrive in Australia after I'd left, I was able to contact the office (I think I rang in the end) and get them them to send the ticket to Emma, which they did.

Personally, I'm going for a wish for a really decent spell of weather in August until the other side of Greenbelt. At the very least, no more unusual levels of rain and enough warmth and gentle breeze to dry the ground out.

And, aside from the impending water shortages and more rain, they say this weather is set to continue well into August.

*looks tentative*
Um. Well. I'm unexpectedly free that weekend, and having read this thread went to look at the GB website. It looks...well, quite entertaining really (and I normally metaphorically run screaming from the New Wine trip organisers at our local churches, having seen their 'sales pitch'). As I've never been to any festival ever, let alone a Christian one, and I'll be on my own, is this a good place to start? Good Lord, what an embarassing question.

I'd say it's a good place to start. There's a bit of something for everyone ... well, OK, there's usually not much to get the more conservative end of the evangelical spectrum excited about (though there were still enough around to organise a "cleansing of unclean spirits" or something after a wiccan was asked to participate in a discussion of neo-pagan beliefs one year, much to the embarrasement of other evangelicals like myself who just spent a very enjoyable couple of hours listening to a very polite and intelligent man explain his beliefs and field questions from the floor). Worship ranging from silence to Goth Communion. Talks on most subjects under the sun. Plenty of music, some of it even good. Other forms of art, usually not as good as the music.
I'd strongly recommend hooking up with people who've been before very early on to guide you through the programme. Because it's the sort of thing that without the help of someone who knows what's what you could easily end up missing everything you'd want to see. If you're brave enough, and if someone organises it, you might even want to pitch tent with other Shipmates, and we'll be delighted to help out getting your feet.

This will be my first summer without Greenbelt in a good few years - and it feels really strange not to be going (we're moving a few days before). Of course I might decide that I'm totally sick of unpacking boxes and just get in the car (which could probably do the journey on automatic pilot by now!)...

Incidentally, when does GB actually finish? Yes, I know it's the 27th, but is that "everyone off the site by 5pm on Monday" or "the last event is Monday evening but you can sleep off your organic-cider headaches and leave on Tuesday?"

The festival finishes late Monday night (as in, mainstage shuts down at 11pm with a few other venues carrying on a while after that). Some people will leave during the day on Monday, or pack up during the day and then drive off after the last thing they want to see in the evening if they're reasonably local. Most people will break camp on the Tuesday morning. I don't know exactly when you need to be off-site but my experience over the years is that traffic off-site is busiest between 10am and 12noon.

Quercus, I can recommend you get a programme so you know what's on and where it's happening. Otherwise you might only find out that what you *really really* wanted to see / participate in has already happened. It also includes a map of the site. You get it from the Greenbelt shop, which you can locate on that map... (or of course by asking one of the helpful stewards )

Thanks AC & daisydaisy. I've updated my liftshare to reflect a Tuesday departure, and I'll definitely look out for a programme (especially as the website listings are ... tantalising but enigmatic, shall we say).
I am stupidly excited at the idea of camping for the first time in 9 years - maybe I'll be reminded just why it's been 9 years.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone again - though I won't be camping in the shippy area. But will definitely see you in the Winged Ox / Beer Tent / Tiny Tea Tent / shower queue / Nuts / etc.

You will find us though? I'm not sure the wee wan will be old enough for the beer tent and Winged Ox (though as last time we were there we hung around outside that won't be a problem), and besides will need to sleep in the evenings so one of us will need to be at the camp then.
Has there been any suggestion as to where the Ship camp will be yet? There's a map. I assume General Camping (areas 7 or 9). It says area 9 isn't suitable for groups with children (though it doesn't say why, or indeed whether that includes very young children) but that looks more likely as somewhere we could get a decent sized area to get people together in. Area 7 is smaller, closer to the site and so going to be more popular.
Who's likely to be there first to bag a space?

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