I’m glad you enjoyed it- I’m a liberal christian who struggles with faith constantly, for all sorts of reasons, not least the smugness which seems go with a lot of organized religion. Greenbelt keeps me sane, and keeps my feet on the ground- which is odd when you consider all the hippy-dippy stuff which goes on, but I think you realized that it’s about so much more than that. I like to think that Greenbelters have open minds (which is why, I think, that so many non-Christian speakers and artists appear there), but it’s not perfect- and we know it, which is what makes it a refreshing change certain christian “smugfests” I could name.

Dean.

Now I just have to get the image of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Jon Bounds out of my head…

Greenbelt is not called the ‘friendly festival’ for nothing. :-) You’ll be very welcome back next year. Shame about the Stoddie; they were*very* tasty. So would you be in this crowd shot somewhere? http://www.gallery.photoglow.co.uk/p879649840/h7caf99b#h7caf99b ?

Chris – I can confirm the lavender scented loos. You just need to know where to look…. ;-)

First time that’s ever happened. Hi sis! Apart from the great write up, I couldn’t help but notice how consistent are your paragraphs. Noice work.

A refreshingly open-minded atheist/nihilist-jobsharer’s view of an alternative festival – and being ok with it not being cool by seeing cool as a media-constructed thing. Need more of this tolerance being published! Of course you lost all credibility at one point – fairies yes, lavendar-smelling loos? Never in a rain of pig’s pudding.But then all urban myths have to start somewhere, so why not Greenbelt?
