Mobile phone battery dead? Try dancing
What do you do if you are stuck in a field at a pop festival but there's trouble ahead because your mobile phone's battery is about to run out?
Thanks to a new gizmo, you now just need to face the music and dance.
Mobile phone operator Orange said on Tuesday it had teamed up with GotWind, a firm specializing in renewable energy, to produce a recharger powered by dance energy alone.

I leave my phone at home.

Awe, there's SOOOO something I wish I could post but dont have a link to it. ITs called the Wine Rack. It is a pair of small pouches that fit inside the bra and has a hidden tube coming out of it. It accomplishes 2 things: 1)increases bust size by 1-2 cups and 2) holds MORE THAN A BOTTLE'S WORTH OF WINE! Soo, ladies, no more worries about getting guys to buy you drinks, when you can secretly bring it with you! LMAO!!!!

Ah Ha! I KNEW Swag would find it! Awesome! BTW, there is also a male version called the 'Beer Belly'. Although I can't imagine a guy would WANT to look like he has a big beer gut all for the sake of avoiding paying for his beer at the concessions. LOL

Yes. Yes, I do.
He also invented the Wang-Chung..and I had all sorts of problems with that too, alright?

Ah! Glad you asked! Nope. To remedy that, all you have to do is blow air into the pouch after you have emptied it of its wine. :)

Next year, I am not bringing a pack of any sort to Jazz Fest. I'm going to buy a camel and bring that instead. Not only will I not have to carry my stuff all over Creation, it will also eliminate the need for cabs. Plus, it will save all kinds of time because I won't be wasting any waiting for a cab.
There aren't any rules about bringing camels to the Jazz Fest, are there?

:) That's good. Camels are noted for not drinking very much. Of course, with the high humidity, s/he might consume a little more than normal.

Just put on dark glasses and carry a cane and when they question you say its your seeing eye dog. When they tell you its a camel, act shocked and say "I'm blind and they gave me a camel?"
Thanks ladies and germs I am here all week, tip your bartenders and waitresses

Do yourself a favor Gumbo and get one of these to keep in your vehicle before you leave:

I can't count the number of times this has saved us (including on Monday at CFF, after everyone else had left) or the number of times we have used it to rescue others. You can also connect an inverter to it and run regular appliances and electronics for hours. Must have product imo. You can usually get good deals on them at your local automotive supply store. Don't get a cheap one though; get this one.

Thanks! I do actually have one, made by the diehard (battery not movie) peeps, but the thing is the battery was just old so it had to be put down.
