School's Out - Heartland August 2007 Weekender

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just trying to decide how much to bring in terms of documenting the occasion.

My phone has space for just over a thousand snaps and/or about an hour of 640x480 @ 30fps video so that'll get fully charged and emptied ready for over use.

Above that I'm mulling over bringing my Holga and a roll or two of medium-Pro 120 film. It's got a four colour flash so could be good fun Saturday night. Z in orange + blue flash = ? ;D

I might even christen my Lomo CyberSampler that takes four pics over the space of 1sec and then places them on one image - could be good for "chaos ensuing" shots - but it has no flash and I've only got 200asa film (ie highly sunny days only)

Does anybody think it's worth pushing the boat out on this front or is it liable to be a bit OTT for the occasion ?

Myself and the little woman will be arriving in Leeds at around 4.15, dump stuff at the travelodge then off the the "eat as much as you want" chinese that's just outside the station for tea, if you want to join us? No doubt you will be back in Manc packing all your beauty products and hair gell that you will use over the weekend... :lol: :innocent:

You won't be needing any fancy gadgetry for that Andrew. :wink: There's a pic of a previous garage party somewhere (mebeez in the gallery) - time / space distortion has never been captured so well :lol:

Depends on what time Sinnie gets to Leeds for, which she thoughtfully hasn't told me (although i suspect its cos she doesnt have a clue herself as yet).

I did get 'the fear' when I read what time you were coming in Steve and imagined Zed arriving in Glass-gow tomorrow at that time. Brrrrrrr.... so cold...... :lol:

@ Snowey/his missus/the lovely HL lasses/anyone else: erm...anyone bringing a flat iron (not crimper) for hair along? I can't bring mine, as it's not dual voltage. Pfffft. :|

I think Mand might have some hair straighteners. I think, but thats girls talk.

Somethings are beginning to fall into place, at last. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

No worries with the trains Erika - thats a fine time, it means we can take Jos & the kids out through the day (assuming they're still coming - that one hasn't fallen into place yet :( )

For all those comin back to mine, erm, bring yer dancin shoes. ;D

It's what I enjoy doing - it's a biatch that medium format film needs a pro lab to develop but it's good fun. Thinking about it though it's far more important I bring my absinthe than a pile of wacky plastic cameras.

I'm sure others on here may second that :lol: :innocent:

I'm expecting to arrive in Leeds (city centre) sometime about 4:00 PM Friday, but that evening is going to be for crashing out/settling in/bit of grub, then straight to the main event.

Definitely up for the early(er) start on Saturday also - anyone who knows the place care to suggest a good meeting spot?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
