Latitude Festival

Arriving
It took about 5 hours to arrive at Latitude festival in Suffolk after we picked up my friend Ellie on the way. After unpacking and putting up the tent, the key festival item we went about having our BBQ before heading to look  around.
Once we entered the arena it was clear that it was going to be a festival like no other as I have never been to a festival which is based and surrounded by so much woodland. We were staying in family camping due to being with family friends which meant that it was a much tamer experience that that of someone who stayed in the normal site but we still had an amazing time and it meant that we had very nice toilets and showers. This to any festival goer will know is a luxury as instead of porta-loos we had toilets that always had toilet roles and flushed! A minor mirical in terms of festival settings.
After a wander around we found our selves at the waterfront stage where there was a type of dance piece on where large swans with girls dancing on them in the lake and a women hanging below a moon in the sky was taking place. It truly was magical and made you feel like you had in some way entered a parrellel universe. We then wandered into the woods where a DJ set was taking place and so spent the night dancing away before heading back to our tent to rest before the main action that started on Friday.

Friday
The day mainly consisted of an afternoon and evening of comedy where we saw Andrew O'Neill who is a crossdressing comedian and if you have never heard of him look him up. He was definitely the superb find of the day. We then watched Marcus Bridgestock who was hilarious doing sketches on the EU and then  followed by Sean Lock was as brilliant as ever.
In the morning we had seen Mark Thomas who talked about his 100 acts of minor decent which was great. He said about putting stickers on books with things like this book is available in charity shops, or books that you thought were crap putting stickers with the end on which is such a hilarious ideas and how he hates how much houses cost so he often protests outside really expensive homes. He also spoke about how he is taking pictures of police officers each day for a year which definitely seems like a tall order to me!
We then watched Nick Mulvey who is a very talented musician with incredible guitar skills that watching was truly inspirational. We then went to a talk on the brain and watched a jelly brain dissection which was really interesting. Especially learning that if you damage one side of your brain it doesn't damage one side it damages vision in both eyes say the right half! I also learnt that the top of your brain is responsible for your leg  functions and the bottom your head and arms.
After comedy and food we went back to the tent to get changed and have a drink or two before heading to see Bloc party who were AMAZING they played so many of their classics and the atmosphere was phenomenal.
We then went to the comedy tent where there was a disco type night called Guilty Pleasures. A group called the lip sinkers were great, all the music was great fun. I must have known every word to every song. There was another group of guys who danced on crutches wearing thongs and covered in glitter. The evening was definitely an experience to say the least!
