Same here mate... we were amazed at the overwhelming good vibe that everyone exhibited. Our perspective on the world and life itself has been changed.
Here's to you, Bloc.

Not having been to Bloc before I've had quite a lot of fun telling my colleagues simply that I've "been at butlins" for the weekend! Their picture of what occurred is suitably different and incorrect according to mine.
I hope there are plans for Butlins to use photos from Bloc for marketing purposes - when was the last time they had such a consistently sound, happy group of people on site?

As above, brilliantly organised event, top choice of acts, excellent sound systems, decent venue.
Was nice to see acts I've wanted to see for years and never thought I would. Thanks to all the fellow punters for being so sound and to security for being a reasonable lot in my experience.
Thanks BLOC, cant wait for next year !

not only, but also...
BLOC has only just about come spinning back down to earth - to unwind this friday night we're all going down to Body Hammer for some jacking drinking action. It would be great to say hi to a few of you there!
