It is funny, but then they probably laugh at us for being a bunch of definition obsessed trainspotters. I've been to and enjoyed the Big Chill (though I have to admit more for the late night monged out festival vibe you get in the 24hr tents rather than moments of musical inspiration, which have been rare). I don't really like the quaint English pastoral romanticism you get there, in fact I find it slightly sinister + the toilets are too clean! > >Does it matter that we're so cut off from the mainstream? > > We'll always be outsiders - which is cool by me... Isn't there an inherent contradiction there? Don't we stop being outsiders once we've found other people like ourselves to form a group with? I think being a outsider (i.e. fundamentally isolated/misunderstood) is a bittersweet experience at best. I've had periods in my life like that and they're not realy something I would celebrate. erm....anyway, back to the techno....
