Yesterday the KUSU (Keele University Students Union) building put on it's most impressive event yet; Woodstoke 2.
I've heard the name 'Woodstoke' was taken from a past event hosted by students independent to KUSU, but I'm not really sure. Wherever the name came from however, the whole event followed a festival theme with such witty venue names as the Glastonbudget Stage, T in the Dark, and Keelefields.
A £20 ticket (what's left of mine is shown below) entitled you to a nifty wristband (also shown below) allowing unlimited access to all venues between 4pm on the 3rd June and 4am on the 4th. That works out at just over £1.60 an hour (bargain!).
I got my ticket only a couple of hours before the event, after a last-attempt-ticket-getting-mission paid off (someone told me it had sold out the day before). We headed in at about 4.30 to check out the area, then headed back home for some predrinks until the good stuff kicked off at about 6.30.
The aforementioned good stuff included:
- Immense amounts of meat surrounded by a bun for £2!
- Fruit dipped in sherbet for £1.50!
- Facepainting!
- Rides!
- Foam party!
- Fully clothed shower to get foam out of clothes!
- More facepainting!
- A skirmish between security and drunken party goers!
- A fucking TOP HAT!
- Stone Roses and Oasis tribute bands (both of which were the same people, cunningly wearing slightly different 90s indie fashion)!
The combination of those 'good stuffs' and hanging out with a bunch of cool people made last night (and ergo this morning) one of the best at Keele so far! There was also a rave in the woods apparently, but I didn't go.
Kudos KUSU.
