Jokes are shared as new friends arrive. It is almost a ritual now. The room, a tapestry of discarded tape cassettes, beer cans, tobacco and Rizzla paper. Cigarette and weed smoke thicken around shared feelings of excitement. MC's call for a crowd response from a stereo in the corner. Music and atmosphere colliding in a cultural call to arms.
Line ups are poured over as flyers and stories are liberally handed round. It'll be a few hours' drive to get there but really they know the adventure has already started.
