The Sisters of Mercy Forum
In fact, it only makes the whole experience more intense. Oh how I miss summer now, rainy or sultry doesn't matter.There's a crystal view, from my window...sentenza wrote:In Mera luna 2000 me and tuco, my partner in crime, have seen sisters, the mish and fields of the nephilim...not bad except the "bad joke" of Wayne strating paying "Marian".Hum...
That sounds vaguely familiar...except for the hippie who emerges from the Bog of Eternal Stench (leaving his own vapourtrail in his wake due to all the musshies and acid he's just consumed) holding up 2 turds and saying "Look maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I've just found Gandalf and Bilbo!" Not to mention the fact that he's only gone and pebble-dashed the interior thanks to the Transendental Lentil and Mushroom Porridge he had for breakfast.SINsister wrote:Hmmmm...
How about: a vomitous mix of (c)rap (yo!yo!yo!) and hip-hop (including the likes of that "Fergie" person) and, to make matters impossibly worse, a hellish lineup of bands like Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance.
Sissies are due to play precisely...somewhere near the end, but there's been a f*ck up with the lineup because some emo band guy had a temper tantrum which led to a brawl, so now no-one knows when the hell TSoM'll take the stage.
It's nearly 100 degrees F in this open-air fest, with humidity to match...and there's no shade. There's bottled water for sale, but it's $5 a pop...and no, you're not allowed to bring your own beverages into the area. The only booze available is warm Bud and/or Miller Light; which one you get makes no difference because they're both carbonated p1ss, of course.
The merch tent's got a grand total of 1 style of Sissies tee on hand, (because they're, ya know, not "popular", or anything), and all sizes are gone save "girly" extra-small. Oh, and there're no stickers, patches, or badges for sale, so don't even ask.
There *are* porta-potties for your "convenience" (which you'll desperately need after you've downed 5 p1ss beers in a row in a vain attempt to stave off heat exhaustion), but they're already overflowing, and, in the sweltering heat, the area around them for 500 yards reeks like a cow barn.
(Don't forget - when you finally work up the nerve to brave the stench, there will be 500 people ahead of you in line who all had the same idea at exactly the same moment. By the time you finally snag an empty toilet (in sheer agony after having stood in line for an hour) and step inside the filthy thing, you'll notice that someone has thoughtfully sh@t on the seat, and there's no toilet paper. Panic sets in as you, pouring sweat now in both pain and fear, frantically search for a scrap of tissue in your pocket or purse, whilst simultaneously trying not to vomit from the overwhelming stink...
...and from far, far away, clear on the other side of the venue, a familiar guitar riff fires up.)
Remember when a lot of NMA fans used to wear those stupid clogs?I've seen many a raggle-taggler with a back covered in second hand beer after striding manfully into the crapper at the old Hummingbird in Brum,Clip clop clip clop....scrape..."Aghhh fukc!!!!"Syberberg wrote: .... it would be a very, very Bad Idea to stride manfully into the gents for fear of losing one's footing on the slippery tiles......
There was a notorious urinal at a pub I used to frequent that would block up and overflow every Saturday without fail.People used to throw pennies into it to give it an abstract wishing well effect.and not having a choice between the shallow end or the deep end.

It's always nice when the regulars leave a tip for the new members of staff.Planet Dave wrote:And no doubt by the end of the night some pissy-handed ne'er-do-well would have swiped the lot.
