Sat 31 Jul – Field Day 2010
My second year at Field Day and well worth the return visit. Crucially, this year the rain mac stays in the bag. Good (though not spectacular weather) puts most of the punters in a good mood and doesn’t mess with the running order.
FD crams in a lot of music which is either a good thing (if you’re prepared to take a punt on people you haven’t heard of or wouldn’t normally check out) or a bad thing (see some of the previous shouts agonising over choice). Maybe they need a second day, though I suspect the economics and logistics work against this.
Always worth a word about the organisation of the thing. I could live with the clashes on running times – that’s a given at any festival. There did seem to be a lot of queuing – it took ages to get through security to get in (I’ve boarded flights in less time), and what was the deal with having your ticket taken off you intact (“you can have it back at the end of the night” Hmm…
