We woke up in the morning, only to find a ‘suprise’ in the middle of the Tool Tent. Grace enquires as to whether it was used. Used or not, it ends up in Simon’s poor abused cup, which became an ashtray the previous night, and nearly set on fire due to tissues and smoking. No-one really wants to get up, and Chris spends much of the morning painting the sides of the tents, being the only person up. He paints “The Ghetto of Sin” on the side of the Tool Tent, and “Lust” on the Tent Formerly Known as Scorpion.
Finally, Alan attempts to make everyone get up, with his unique “Hands off Cocks and on with socks!” cry. Simon calls Chris “Becky” by accident, much to the surprise of all concerned. Becky’s twisted mind becomes disturbingly clear, when she comments on the whereabouts of Arthur and Anna.
Acute shortages of wine means that another trip into town is required, and Alan perusades Rosanne to spend her money on wine. Robert persuades Simon to come along, due to Simon’s age, posession of bike, and fitness. They return with several bottles of wine, a bottle of very cheap scotch whiskey, and a fateful bottle of vodka.
Quite a lot of this day is also spent in the Tool Tent, with the conversation covering such subjects as Alan sleeping with his lesbian mother, foetuses (and use thereof), and bouncing a corpse along the moshpit. Rosanne learns how to roll, and Alan plans to go to Spain. Arthur reprimands people who attempt to hit our “No Parking in this Area” sign.
Alan has two interesting Tool related experiences, the first involving him nearly smoking a plastic tube full of filters, believing it to be a joint, and the second involving explaining to his sister why he was smoking a very long cigarette.
We meet Arthur’s fancy boy, Steve, for the first time, despite their planning to meet throughout the whole camp. George and the other people from the Czech delegation talk about their country and the Pionyr movement, which we all listen to. Greg, Pat, and various other people all dress as women, we drink quite a lot of whiskey, and then wander into the central area. All, that is, except for Nick and Alan. Nick stays behind because he isn’t feeling brilliant, and Alan would rather stay in the tent and smoke. Nick warns all of us not to let him drink the whiskey. Quite a lot of people get quite drunk, due to the presence of whiskey, wine and Alexi’s cheap french beer, and there is lots of stumbling about. Simon has to help a load of drunk people get home.
Rosanne and Rob go back to the Tool Tent, interrupting Alan and Nick’s male bonding talk, and gradually the Tool tents fill up with random people. Louise tells us how she loves the smell of whiskey, and we drift into night..
