Proper planning produces perfect plans

In a few weeks it's time for the 3rd annual Machynlleth comedy festival. 4th - 6th May to be exact. I went last year and had an ace time.

Machynlleth is a charming little one horse market town in Powys. This time last year it was more a fifty-six horse town, but there's just NOWHERE for starving volunteer ushers to go eat once the sun has set. It's also a place that has no concept of local geography once the sun has fallen. Night time? Right, let's plummet the temperature below zero and set a few Trans-Siberian weather patterns in a low orbit above the camping field.

I guess what I'm trying to hint at is that my immediate post festival thought for 2011 was along the lines of "ain't never gonna git me camping in Machynlleth ever again. No sir."

Roll forward to Jan 2012: Five months till Mach? Right, start thinking about hotels.

February 2012: Four months. Need to get in early. Get a good deal.

March 2012: Oh crap. It's soon. Only be a few places left. Right, on it.

1st April 2012: Shit. Book it. Now. Now.

Anyway. I digress. But I have just bought a fancy new tent.

QUICK!

Quick James!

Post something.

Anything.

Make your sole reader fall off his chair and go, "crikey!".

So, Phil. Did it?
