The Aire Do festival got underway yesterday lunchtime. The sun was out on a lovely warm day. There was also another festival locally which was covering the same weekend. Our radio station was at both. We had a terribly timed meeting about it the whole weekend at two festivals, on the night before they started.
Hardly anyone turned up to it.
I arrived to find that the leaflets I had printed to be handed out were left back at the studio. This started a long list of failings that grew more irritating as each one was unveiled. Then as I handed out some leaflets I met the crowd. They were like I am when I am handed a leaflet, inconvenienced. It was a free entry event and beer was allowed. The local REAL alcoholics we're already there as they had probably woken up in the park, laying in their own piss.
Come midday, the bands were ready to play, except in our radio tent, we were three hours behind. Once again I stood handing out leaflets which nobody wanted and just kept thinking "I hate society". People of all different levels of scum and villainy were present and I had some foreign piss takers come amd talk to me and walk away laughing as they insulted me. Vile. I wasn't bothered by that actually, I expected it.
It all got too much for me so I went home to listen to the broadcast as it was played out live on our station. It was awfully crackly as the stage mic distorted with each loud vocal. Then it would go off entirely. then it would skip like a vinyl record.
I and been advertising this shite.
So let's see what today brings.
There is a Silsden gala today and so my little man and I are going to look around that....hopefully I won't bump into any ex girlfriends at that. I wrote an e mail to my sub management colleagues and said I resign from the group.
A small group of people can't make a huge difference against a tidal wave of indifference.
