Hi All, Someone (Tag?) was surprised at the lack of immediate reaction to the announcement of the Al Bowley Festival. There could be many explanations. Stunned amazement amongst them. For the serious B&S obsessive, attending could be pretty akin to crashing a party held by our heroes for their mates. Lack of reaction could also be due to lots of Sensitive cardie-wearing soul-searching: "I spend all my time in my room listening to my Tigermilk/Tigerjammies tapes. My best friend is my Study At Stow tee. How can I get it together to find at least 3 people I could dare show my pants to in a hi-de-hi chalet? Even if I can get that far, what would they think of me and the cuddly fox I take to bed each night, that I stuck cotton wool to the paws of to look like it had been romping in the snow?" I guess other considerations are the amount of dosh, and how can one get a ticket for what is (especially post-Brits) likely to be a heavily over subscribed bash. Also, would a slaphead looking like they've had the tonsure be allowed into a Bowlie gathering? :) Homage to Catalonia: ¡Muchas gracias! to Rafa & Isa for the Pastels and Migala tapes that arrived a couple of days ago - they're great.
