Airstream trailers! omg that is so cool.
Don't know about EUR4000-worth of cool,
but still, what a brilliant idea...
Word of advice....where Halfords tents might look very appealing because of the price... they fail in two key points...
The stitching (nearly all over the corners ripped off by the end of Castlepalooza)
That waterproof claim (1 inch of water at foot of tent by 1.35am on last Sat night).
I was tempted to bring the tent back, set fire to it and chuck into the entrance of the local Halfords were I bought it but that involved way too much effort. So now Charleville Castle have one damp and damaged tent to help them along with their restoration project.....the best of luck lads!
im imaginarily opting for that airstream trailer,
in real life i'll prob sleep in my car
rock n roll
I want a trailer so bad! Don't feel like sleeping in a tent for three nights...
*summons waterbed*
yeah dude what are we doing?? i think hire a van (who'd driving though?)
Me and Neil are working out an amazing plan. Never fear.
PS: there's no way you are driving us anywhere Lili because you always crash.
i don't ALWAYS crash. only sometimes. actually only on the way back from gigs (Britney and Kyuss) so maybe not a good idea. I am looking forward with anticipation to hearing all about the amazing plan. Kind Regards Lilian Forberg - Photographer to the Stars.
