Last year I was quite chuffed to find my YouTube channel ranked seventeen in the world, albeit for just a week, thanks to uploading loads of V Festival stuff.
While I’ve not been as organised approaching the big weekend this year, the killer has been technology. A network search reveals the only network not to have 3G coverage of Weston Park is O2, which means my all-you-can-eat data tariff is wasted and the vids have been sent overnight, with me correcting the timestamps next morning. And then it turns out that YouTube’s ever eratic email upload service isn’t playing ball. Oh well!
The V Festival itself is as wonderful as ever… stay tuned, I’ll share it with you eventually and list posts here:
