As the 19th hour was fallin’ upon Desolation Row

Ellie

To be honest, Ellie can’t remember that much about Thursday night.  She can remember the markets.  She’s got some notes in her sketch book to prove it.  She can remember Carhenge cos they all laughed at that funny little French car on top of those other two cars.  And she can remember going to West Holts cos Phoebe wanted some cider.  So they got drinks from the Brothers Bar.  They sat around drinking, didn’t they?  The ground wasn’t too wet, but they put their waterproofs down to sit on.  Is that right?  Then Lauren said she wanted another drink.  What happened after that? 

Did they go to Shangri La later?  She’s pretty sure they queued up for hours and hours to get in down by the Cabaret tent.  That was later, wasn’t it? What did they do after the cider? She can’t remember. Shangri La was dead crowded, wasn’t it?  She can vaguely remember walking around a bit, but she wasn’t feeling too good by then.  That was what happened, wasn’t it?  She went back early, didn’t she?  Did Phoebe go back, too?
