Posted May 18, 2014 It's based on the Indian event Holi (unless that one is just something random). We've got one on campus in 2 weeks, I'm looking forward to it but slightly worried by how easy it is to shower afterwards?! The stuff came out of my clothes fine (although I put my jeans and t-shirt in together, as I didn't actually think my t-shirt would come clean, so that's now dyed blue). Doesn't take too much scrubbing to wash it off of your body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2014 Stop trying to make fridgeselfie happen. It's not going to happen. I fucking love you sometimes! I love anybody who quotes Mean Girls though... Couple of recent snaps Oh my God, Bob Marley, I love your work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based off it yeah, but I can't help agree in that I feel it's another trendy cash-in. Is it really a Holi festival if it's nowhere near Holi, and in all likelihood, attended by a load of people not even remotely 'celebrating' it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 19, 2014 What is Holi even a celebration of anyway? Powder paint? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2014 We call it the "Indian Color Festival" in Egypt. They're done on an almost weekly basis by different organizers who just want to make a quick buck. I don't think most people who attend the thing know, let alone care, what it's based on. http://www.cracked.com/article_19579_7-insane-festivals-you-wont-believe-are-legal_p2.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2014 I do see your point and mostly agree but how many of us go to church at Christmas? But how many people have various little Christmases throughout the year around the world where lots of tickets are sold and money is made by the organisers? Even with Easter, Christmas etc at least they're properly done annual events with their unique celebrations around the time they occur. Most of these supposed 'holi' festivals of colour I've seen are nowhere near it! What is Holi even a celebration of anyway? Powder paint? Similar to diwali, christmas, or easter - it's a celebration related to some religious text/story from hinduism with an annual occurence around the same time each year(marchish).

Posted May 19, 2014 Well most of these religious events were originally just taken/stolen/adapted from original cultures and events anyway, so surely this is just another step forwards in the evolution of these events? Christmas and Easter are nothing like the celebrations from centuries ago; and even less like the Pagan Winter Solstice festivals that Christmas is based on. When I was doing it, I wasn't thinking about how I was participating in a religious festival, I didn't care. It was just a bit of fun to enjoy with a few friends.

Posted May 19, 2014 I know, but imagine if I posted some pictures of me now in the summer all dressed in red and green with my christmas tree up and then posted it going 'Look, did my first Christmas today!' - it'd seem so weird and out of place no? That's the same I see when folks are posting up all their 'Holi' photos nowhere around the occasion itself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Shoulda got one with Marti myself, but was too semi-hungover to remember. Got a hug though, which was cool. Here's me at the back looking really into my game. And later on Sunday getting my dreams eaten by a Haunter. Edited May 27, 2014 by EEVILMURRAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Pretty much the only reasonable picture of us from the weekend @Blade... we're far too much a mess on the others, haha! I don't smoke so I'd not normally be a twat with a cigar but it was a celebration so needs must! Also, it's not urine in the glass, it's Jim Bean Honey, haha.
