Just worked at RockNess.

Was both my first festival and first time working away from home, but was a good time!

I'm not doing T in the Park, I was going to, but I'm going to Silverstone at the end of the month, so that will make up for it.

Always curious to know who has the concierge contract at

I've got to break into that place. Not to steal anything, you understand, just to take photos and post them online. :)
