After yesterday's yak shaving, I spent the rest of the day hanging out with a couple of hundred people at the Isis Tavern Farmhouse, at Harvest Festival.

I saw lots of bands[*], listened to the local Green parliamentary candidate talking about the issues of feeding a growing population, and drank some nice beer. It was just like being at a festival, except when the last band came off I walked home to my nice, cosy bed. The sensible people at Truck (who are running the bash) chose this weekend because it's a Harvest Moon, meaning that at midnight it's still light enough to walk up the towpath without risking a dunking.

Anyone in Oxford who's at a loose end today is advised to pop along for the second day - there are still tickets available on the door. Music starts at 1pm. And there's cake!

[*] Moira Smiley, Gabe Minnikin, Stornoway, Hankdogs, Dusty Soundsystem, Piney Gir and the Age of Reason, Coute Diomboulu and Hot Club of Cowtown. No, I hadn't heard of any of them either, but several of them turned out to be very good indeed.
