Loads of free stuff from the Tiscali showcase tent.

It's been an eventful morning for Aloud. We got ID'd at Sainsburys (and promptly jumped up and down and texted everyone we knew), managed to find a car parking voucher at the last minute, and on finally hitting Reading, were presented with our photographer's tabard. It's hideous, green and makes us look like a lollipop lady. But we feel Important in it.

In between putting up Camp Aloud and thanking Helios for giving us sun (no more monsoons ta) we've scoped out Tower of London (meh) and Fightstar (looking in suprisingly good nick after last night's Kerrang! awards) on the main stage.

We've also signed our souls away to the good people of Tiscali who, as well as giving Aloud his and hers goodie bags, are putting on some extra gigs in a backstage tent. We'll be reporting back on the best ones and you can watch them too at www.Tiscali.co.uk/reading.

Right, enough plugs for Tiscali, time for lunch. And possibly some beer. Ace!
