1) The licencing hours (not Global Headz' fault, but it obviously affected
everyone's enjoyment of the event.
2) The location: again, a tricky one, but it was a nightmare to get to and
wholely uninspiring.
3) The fact that they ploughed half the site up with JCB's and took two days to
(partially) level the land again.
4) The toilet/cold shower situation.
5) The DJ's - on the whole, utter shite. Fine, play "eclectic" music, but at
least look like you know how to mix it...
6) The amount of DJ's thinking they'll get a standing ovation by playing jungle
(it's the Next Big Thing y'know!). Jungle is the last thing I want to hear at a
Big Chill.
7) The sound system in the main tent. Hahaha.
8) Global Communication copping out of a live set.
9) The bastard who sold us those dodg... <ahem>
10) The weather.
11) Those fucking idiots on stilts. Are they supposed to freak us out or
something? I had enough of them at the Tribal Gathering.
12) The dancers who came on stage in the main tent now and again. Purlease.
Good Points:
1) HIA, Freeform, Andrea Parker, MMM and Wishmountain.
2) Sue and Dick's burger van (our sole source of food over the weekend).
3) Those speakers with talcum powder on top.
4) Umm.
Please note, these comments aren't really against Global Headz, but against some
of the artists playing, and the draconian laws in this country. The Big Chill
could have been really amazing, but like the man Bono said: I still haven't
found what I'm looking for.
