At the risk of thread creep:

I forgot to add to my list for what to take to Old Songs, a sharp knife - in case the drum circles won't listen when asked to shut up. (Not advocating cutting any people, just drumheads.)

These bunches of drummers can ruin a whole festival. They cut right through any attempt to jam anywhere on the grounds.

May all the gods and/or goddesses that men and/or women worship damn them all to the deepest pits of the most loathsome hells that any religion can dream up.

Peter.
