Rest assured kieran, if I do something in 2013 it will be more along the lines or "a rock... in a cardboard box...sitting in the boot of my car". Perhaps not as much potential for audience entertainment, but it will be virtually weatherproof.

In defense of the concept though...I cant think of a better festival to test out a low-percentage large-scale outdoor event.
