Tour? ...again?
Before the Forest became endangered we were beginning to organize a Forest Records tour. Not so much a 'hire a van and spend a lot of money kind of thing' but meeting up with our friends across the UK and having a good time.....I was hoping we could get that idea back up off the ground, whos with me!?

Record shop
I've been thinking we should have a little forest records shop with our own (and anyone elses) cds for sale and just take like £1 into a savings for further music projects.....just a little stall by the counter or something?

Re: I hereby apologise...
I'm not taking it to heart or anything i've had way more good experiances than bad ones here. I agree with the use of downstairs for poems/quite acoustic acts though - for the festival time anyway I think it would have a better atmosphere

I felt the same way on friday when I was playing, just like background noise but I took it as the festival vibe and not a thing of disrespect. Though it really does suck when you're trying to put you're heart out there and people are yelling over the top of it. I didn't have the guts to shush them t...

We could try and get a grant, buy a licence and relly on local sponsors to keep it going.....or we could do it pirate...forest is a collective so if anyone cared theres nobody to really pin down right? I doubt anyone would care anyway cause we'd not be making money. Maybe theres a loophole somewhere...

Am I wrong or is there no Forest twitter accounts? Reccently i've been noticing celebs/bands/etc re-tweeting links sent by people looking for support, Its not much effort on their part and might get a couple more donations....worth a shot? Not much effort on our part either :p
