Where is everyone?
On their way.
So, we’re the first?
Well, yes, obviously.
Where’s the stage?
Be here soon.
Sorry, this isn’t right.
It is.
It’s not.

Stop complaining. We’ve got a prime position.

For goodness sake, go behind a bush.

Hi Keith – there be no trees to hide behind?! I certainly wouldn’t wait a week … I thought you were off into prime numbers – but no – still you primed me to check something out … sadly not useful! Still … the pic looks a little like cold frost – just as we’ve here … love the tale though – cheers Hilary

Love the humor (as usual) and reminded me (at first) of what people must have felt when they went to the Fyre Festival –
Have you heard of it? It was a big disaster of a concert event where folks spent big money to show up to very little – had to sleep in tents and it was awful
