Reality

Having discussed the idea of a "fantasy festival" (which is a festival of your own creation with your ultimate line up of musicians / comedians / performers) to many friends; I'm going to try to make it partially a reality.

The Forbury Gardens is a wonderful space in the centre of Reading town. It is also; in my humble opinion the perfect venue for a small-scale, one day festival of music, art and comedy next summer. This will be a festival in Reading, created by the people of Reading, for the people of Reading. All the acts will have an affiliation with Reading and the surrounding area. The proceeds of which will go to Reading charities; especially the one which employs me. I have just had this idea, so I've no idea how they'll feel about this. What has to be considered is that we're currently preparing for four days of work on a short film based around a group of Elvis impersonators (the original idea of making a Zombie slasher film didn't sit well with our Trustees)... So, it's a pretty safe bet that this isn't too far fetched.

Being in possession of a cheery and positive disposition can occasionally lead to great disappointment; but  it also invokes a fuck-it-this-can-be-done spirit and high aspirations. This will work.
