Glade 2011

Well well Glade Festival! You were an absolute stunner for PixieHoopSound & Wanda the Wonder Cart. We had a ton of fun ... and so did everyone around us! We literally couldn't move for festivalites clamouring for hooping joy...



It was our first public festie this year and it was the first outing for Wanda with her brand new set of wheels and super colourful paint job :) we even made her some colourful mini bunting :) Just in case you didn't know, Wanda the Wondercart is entirely made from reclaimed and recycled materials, isn't that just eco and lovely lush?

We started chilled out on the Friday, a good bit of hoop performance to Ott and Atomic Drop on the Origin Stage, then we got the cart out.... we stayed by Origin for a good few hours whilst the psytrance rolled around us and the hooping was high! We popped over to the Glade Stage with the cart later to check out the vibes but then the rain came and stole our fun! It's just no fun hooping in the drizzle no matter what your shizzle... so we shimmyed on back to the homestead (our fattie van :) and waited it out til Saturday....





And weren't we glad we did! Saturday was a festival of gorgeous sunshine and booming basslines.... we had it fat by Origin for a few hours and then even fatter by the Glade Stage - the hoop party hooped on and on and on..... it was a great sight to see, Glade, you hooped it hard! We loved it!

And then, just when we thought it couldn't get any better... the Engine Earz Experiment came on and we all died and went hoop heaven. For those not in the know, hooping to dubstep - especially when it is the best dubstep you've ever heard with live drums, incredible vocals, live effects and a breaks revolution edge... Holy Mackerel! Its amazing! Ask Sharna! We lost a hoop, we think it went in the Glade stage... but every time we tried to retrieve it the music just flattened all our sense of responsibility for our property and we just stomped it out! It was worth losing a hoop to! So anyone out there who is now the proud owner of an orange and yellow mini hoop, treat our baby well!

a happy hoop customer

We were also well chuffed to bump into the winner of Hoop Idol, Nick Broyd, who let us have a go on his lovely polypro hoop.... for anyone who doesn't know, the guy hoops like a male Sharna Rose :) good skills Nick!

Sunday it rained and it poured! We didn'ta hve an inside area to hoop in so we couldn't do the party. We were *gutted*..... but Saturday more than made up for it :))



the brightest hooper all weekend?!
