I think we should all club together and get John a clipboard with a string on it to wear round his neck for next year,lol!

Thanks to EVERYONE who supported this year's event, simply by being there. Some amazing memories already...Dibbo's Captain Pugwash...Roosterman selling raffle tickets to Redd while he was playing onstage...Tinqui8's version of the Continental breakfast (2 cups of coffee and 3 cigarettes)...

Once again, I'm simply astounded that an internet forum has generated a real-life community of proper friends...real friends who go out of their way to help and make things happen...sorry...I'm getting a bit tearful as I type this. So many people were so effusive with their praise on the day, it was a truly humbling experience. I'm sorry if I didn't have time to chat with everyone...but I was a little bit busy...it was great to meet up with buddies from last year...and to add a whole bunch of people who I can now call friends.

Thanks, good people.

John

Great to meet everyone - had a wonderful couple of days spending time with you all. Thank you all for your support and contributions to the documentary. And a giant THANK YOU to Chickenbone John (who has a gig at the Public as I write this!) - you'd better rest up so you can start working out the logistics for next year's extravaganza!

cheers!

Lesley

Had breakfast at Wetherspoons this morning, with Lois and Lefty.
Settled for a kebab from the takeaway across from the hotel last night.
