I love Twitter, one second there is something tweeted that makes me laugh out loud and another second later some deeply important piece of breaking news all intersperced with soemtimes banal and occasional interesting tidbits from the world of fashion.

It looks like one of those festivals that might just be totally cool (though not in an uncomfortable soggy way!) as it’s got just about everything retro you can imagine. It’s the one festival besides ‘Electric Picnic’ that I will get to one of these days.
