Last weekend, some people hopped in a car and drove over six hours out of their way to go and see some men with musical wooden sticks on a big stage.
The sticks were played well. The musical men did good. It did not rain which is good because the people were outside and not wearing coats.
The less said about the toilets the better.
As the big ball of flaming gas disappeared from the sky, the stone structure on the hill looked pretty and made everything better.
That said, if you wanted a bottle of cold liquid you had to part with 300 pennies. A cone of frozen milk cost over 600 pennies. Huge posters telling you to keep hydrated was a piss take by all accounts.
Overall if I could have scooped out the men with music sticks and moved them somewhere else I would have done. Highly recommended.

I like that the men with musical sticks were surrounded by magical pink light-up sticks. It looks like a very stick-oriented event and that is no bad thing. Were there stick souvenirs to be had?
There were no sticks to be seen, at least from where I was, but I made a concerted effort not to approach the merch table because everything is so dough rae me mo-nay moe moe batter batter moe moe expensive these days.
But your story mentions music sticks and your picture shows light-up sticks. How did you know about them and take a picture of them without ever seeing them? I don’t understand you, or your face.
I’d already seen a lot of sticks and didn’t need any further sticks or stick-based things within my sight. I’d reached my limit.
I also don’t care if you don’t understand me or my face.
In that case I don’t care about your face. I’ll be over here with my collection of luxury sticks.
You’re so rude sometimes. If I had any feelings left I’d be mildly shaken by all of this.
I can’t hear you over the round of applause that I’m pretending my sticks are giving me.
Your sticks will leave you in the end and then where will you be, eh? Stickless.
Better to have had sticks give you imaginary standing ovations and lost them, than to have never… something, something… sticks.
You’re so right! Why didn’t I see it before?
*bursts into tears*
There, there. It’s ok. Have some milk from beans and calm down.
