Kendal Calling 2018

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Apr 03, 2018 9:18

Hello!

The MaliCool Klub are off to Kendal Calling in the summer. I have questions:

1) it is £40 for hot showers and flushing toilets (you are going to crucify me for this, aren't you?). Go/no go?

2) I need to transport Penn and Teller about in the evening . Hand pulling a bike trailer about is a Good Idea as I can PJ them up and stick ear defenders on them and then they can sleep. Or whatever. Are 4 wheels better than 2?

3) food: Shall I just pay for it all there with exception of kids stuff for breakfast?

4) alcohols: bring in/ buy there? Hide in kid's wagon?

5) hot showers for £40.

6) will people steal my pillow? I wouldn't like that.

7) is my big tent too big?

I would also like Answers.

Specifically about tent size.

Did you see the April fools post they did?

Tents: our friends said it'd be fine as it seems to be a free for all.

April fool: No.

I know. Shoddy. But it was worth it for...

Quote:

Rather than being afraid, most deer are curious of campfires and will walk up to them, either to see what’s going on or to check if anyone has an acoustic guitar it can borrow to play a ear-wrenching cover of Wonderwall.

Bloody deer and their shitty versions of shitty Britpop songs.

Why does everyone who picks up a random acoustic play sodding 'Wonderwall'?

Well, maybe...

No one uses a capo either, which means it always sounds wrong.

1 - No
2 - No idea
3 - Bring snacks, cereal bars, that kind of thing
4 - I don’t know what their set-up is. Assume it’s an arena and a camping area, but haven’t checked. Should be able to drink at the campsite, but not take into arena (unless you’re sneaky). I generally take some boxes of pink wine as they can be drunk at any temperature.
5 - No!
6 - Unlikely. But then there will be some Catfish/Libertines fans there so anything is possible.
7 - No.

What kind of weirdo carries around their own capo just in case they come across someone else's guitar?

It's bad enough carrying a pick in your wallet just in case.

No glass bottles at all, apparently. Due to it being a deer forest normally.

Ah yes. Most festivals are like that these days I think.

Pink wine boxes. It’s a winner.

And feel free to decant spirits into plastic beforehand.
