'He points out that UK festival-goers already travel in droves to Benicassim in Spain and Exit in Serbia, and although getting Europeans to the UK may be a harder sell it is not impossible, he said.

"Leicester may not be able to match Bergen for scenery and fresh fish but I can promise a great curry and a decent, affordable pint of beer," he said.'

In the US at festivals you might get a warm $7 Miller Lite in a flimsy plastic cup and a $5 slice of bread, cheese and ketchup called "pizza"

I've heard that your American flimsy plastic drink cups are the size of buckets and your pizza's could provide shelter for a family of refugees.

I believe that's a verse from Big Rock Candy Mountain.

It's great if it's $7 and $5.

You guys need to come out to my local to my work sushi spot. Half price sushi and dollar Japanese beer happy hour.

Or my place for free Carne Asada and beer. I'm loaded up with Guinness and Newcastle right now and there might be some Stella in it depending who shows.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Who is playing this music festival at your local sushi place and your house? Are they separate events or can I get a pass for both? Also I will be traveling with my trained helper monkey, so I will need a list of appropriate accommodations nearby on the bus route.
