We went on sunday and had a great time, despite not getting to see any of the really big systems owing to organizational fuckups on our part and the area around Aba Shanti being locked down by the time we got there.

All good though. Will go back next year and remember not to turn up at about five...

FWD was live, too, first time for me. Although my girlfriend was "a bit disappointed that there wasn't more bass." :U: She was still loving it, though.

king tubbys was wicked on sunday, ridiculously sick dancehall & rnb

backto95 was also a heavy substitute for Aba Shanti on sunday, all about them dropping Barbara Tucker - a wonderful sound to be hearing at that point

Aba Shanti yesterday was sick, so deep! always interesting to spend 6 hours raving to religious music

all in all the weekend was sick, although police were killing the vibe a bit early yesterday

i feel fucked today
