Anyone going to Tankfest this weekend?

I had planned on going with a mate, but it just got too complicated with time off and we've got Muse on Sunday, so called it off in the end.

looks a good one, enjoy!
 
Nope. Not if you paid me.

I used to be in one of the groups that facilitated the live action displays. Every year someone would get hurt, from careless driving, from badly handled pyrotechnics, or more often from some ******** firing blank weapons dangerously close to other people.
Last time we worked there someone got a pyro pot straight in the face. We called it a day at that point.

The War & Peace show down at the Hop Farm used to have similar problems, although that was mostly after hours and there was alcohol involved. Our last attendance there was the year someone in the Vietnam group thought it'd be "really cool" to do a 'combat extraction demonstration' with an actual helicopter landing in the middle of all the display tents!

Last time I went I ate in the canteen and ended up projectile vomiting
It wasn't Jimmy Chow's wagon, by any chance?
