In the @emf opening ceremony I spoke about how a total lack of government support for the arts has made running UK festivals extremely risky.

When I said that three weeks ago, 42 festivals had cancelled or gone bankrupt THIS YEAR.

It is now over 50.

@emf Remember what this government did to UK culture.

EMF will survive, but only because we have volunteers and attendees who will make huge sacrifices.

Others are not so lucky. Every single shuttered festival, venue, and club was important to a community. We may not get them back.

If you are the person who abandoned a tent full of crap at EMF: We are going to find you.

You have enraged a group of people who enjoy puzzles and suddenly have a lot of free time.

Run.

If anyone has drone photos of Thursday afternoon, specifically covering the area behind stage B, I would really like to see them

We have now reconstructed their entire travel itinerary from a receipt, a scrap of packaging, and a packet of tobacco.

Regrettably there is no red string on site.

@stanto Things you will enjoy:

  • The reusable cup vendors are absolutely astonished that we returned 95% of cups. Apparently that is the highest amount they've ever seen returned from a festival by a huge margin.

  • The bin vendor was shocked that all the bins were present and correct, and none of them had been damaged.

  • Some locals walked their dog through the site during teardown and say they love us because all the other festivals leave so much rubbish on site. They want to come in 2026.

A rough 48hrs, but some of the absolute nonsense people have built for @emf is cheering me up.

My favourite so far? A compiler you fax code to.

So @jamesbridle granted my wish and made a fediverse bot that posts the latest images from the Mars Curiosity Rover.

It is very appropriately hosted on botsin.space: https://botsin.space/@marslandscapes
