    Default Global Gathering

    was asked by Andy to help do lasers at this years global gathering.

    one word to describe the weekend was mental!

    arrived at 1pm on friday, set the lasers up straight away. once the important things (lasers) had been sorted we set about sorting my tent out for the weekend. i have two tents a modern 12 man tent and a 30 year old heavy metal pole 4 man tent.

    i opted for the 4 man one as the other seemed a bit extreme for just me!

    two bags, one for the tent material the other with poles and pegs, both very fooking heavy. we lugged them to the camp site, couldn’t find a space, when we did find a tiny bit of room in the middle of a load of tents we set about getting it up.

    there was a number of poles missing and we had to give up and pack it away and lug it back to the car. to top it off i had to sleep in my car for the weekend.

    start the laser show at 7pm on the friday night and didnt finish till 2am, by the time we had packed away and i got back to the car it was like 2.45.

    got woken up at 6am by some idiots parking next to me in the car park with banging music.

    started the laser show again on the saturday night at 7pm and didnt finish till 6am the next morning, then drove home. the drive home took 6 hours 3 driving 3 sleeping. so pretty dead to be honest.

    we run lasers in two tents, 3 in one and 1 in the other. both nights went pretty well on the laser front.

    also met Toby again from laser fx (i think), as always extremely nice friendly bloke, its just a shame hes full of it.

    anyway i could go on and on about the weekend but i wont, at the end of the day were i asked to help again the anwser would be yes straight away.

    Looks like you had a great weekend. Great music, Gorgeous girls and lasers to play with. Lisa Lashes may be a little short but she's a real stunning looking girl. Did you get a kiss from her after she finished her set?

    How long did you actually spend watching the girl in the pink bikini top? You where being payed to do a job, not perv on the girls.

    considering your photographic talents I'm very dissapointed. You only managed a 'couple' of phots with lasers in?? what on earth did you spend your time doing there??? I thought you were working??? and the vids are pretty disapointing too...who wants to see a scantily clad young lady jumping around a stage....where's the laser video???...And as for you and the young lady ...in your tent ....hhhhmmm !!!
    Andy... this is a laser forum not NUTZ forum!!! Get a grip man!!!


    Now before you say I'm just jealous....me and Rob had great night at our gig.................yawn


    Ps I hope Lisa finds you and kicks you in the nuts for calling her short

    PPS any more videos
    Move toward the light!

    great music?! umm alot of it was some bloke shouting down the mic as fast as he could. but some of the music was pretty good, i had radio 1 in my tent on the friday night. couldnt tell you the name of the dj/mc though.

    lisa was really hot, she went straight after her set so didnt get a chance to get a pic with her.

    all im gona say is i got lots of pics of the dancers. i also have more video of the girl in the pink bikini top.

    That looks like a MEGA weekend Andy.

    its the biggest laser event ive ever done and probably will do for a long time, there was 250,000 people there.

    it was a kinda perfect gig as it was, lots of people going mad and lots of laser light and dance/trance music
