I bumped into one guy there who lurks here (if you read this PM me dude ), just wondered if any of you other UK dwelling shroomerites were there?

I always thought this as well. I think OP is a little confused.

I was guessing boomtown because of the thread title
Though I myself have always thought boomtown = shroomery

I dont get the lulz? 45,000 people Some of the best EDM / Ska / Reggae /dub from all over the world... I'd be surprised if none of the other UK shroomerites weren't there.
I met one random guy who posts here when I was tripping face on the sunday night, we had a pretty indepth discussion about pharmacology in between DMT pipes...

It looked almost like a UK version of Burning Man with all the beautiful art installations and music. Is it just EDM music played there, or a variety?
If I were ever in Europe again at the time Boomtown is going on, I'd certainly not miss it.
How many days was it, OP?

Thurs-Monday, but I was there early helping setup. The amount of money that goes into the production of this thing is insane, it's one of the highlights of the British festival season.
The biggest bit of the festival is EDM (machinedrum, squarepusher, break & noisia were some of the highlights for me), but there's also loads of live music too, top half of the festival is live music, all the drug munters are at the bottom in the EDM bit :P..
It gets better each year, the police were even more lax with drug this year... they got £65,000 worth, but the whole place was still flooded with everything.. I ate some beautiful californian liquid before the squarepusher set
