There isn't a thread dedicated to Glastonbury Festival yet....so I've started one.

Anyone going?

The only way I was thinking about attending Glasto was by volunteering to look after a stand for one of the charities sponsoring it. Sadly or maybe not so sadly, I didn't manage to fill out a form to do so in time.

I'm a bit lukewarm about going though now after (I think I wrote about it in Big Chill) a few of my friends who have been die-hard fans for years are just not interested any more due to the number of people present and the muddy conditions getting out of hand.

I'm also a bit upset to have read last summer that they were looking to install massive concrete drainage systems at the farm, and that kind of takes away the "field effect", which I guess was the whole point of it all : (

But there's also a part of me that would want to go, just once, especially if there's some bands/artists I'd really like to see : )

Are you going then?

Yep the Webguy will be there

Yep.....I'll be dragging my arse up there.

Really looking forward to seeing Amy Winehouse and hopefully catch massive attack as well, Fat Boy Slim just has to be done amongst others.

Totnes Hemp Co will have a stall this year, selling our wonderful range of hemp clothing, t-shirts, wallets, satchels, soapbar (for washing) and much more!

Hey all GBury was wicked - I will be getting the doctor to post afront page review

Yep, Glastonbury was brilliant, the rain didn't really dampen the spirits of the attendees, except for my neighbour's who woke up in a puddle.

@ Tie-DyeITGuy ; )
Nice one, what did you see there that was good then?

@ LittleMissSpliff
It didn't seem to rain as much has it has in the last few years, glad to hear it was a bit drier for you lot.

The question is how long does it take for Glastonbury (literally, as in mud) to be thoroughly removed from your person ; )

I've heard this can take up to 3 baths, but it would be interesting to do a poll with our recent attendees : D

I didn't really get that muddy, but the dust from when it was dry is a real bugger.

you mean the token neard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Between all of us that were there we didn't actually get to see much music.

I personally saw Fat Boy Slim, who was ace and Amy Winehouse, who was amusing, but she still managed to hold it together to sing pretty well for most of her set. There were others I wanted to see but I was working and had to miss them or couldn't be arsed because beer drinking was keeping me amused.

Hehe - I see references to the Webguy needs a new name comp .... ok ok u win - a tenner each to ILB and ATWHAT... though I am going to just stick with the Webguy....

Drop me a PM with what u want and I will make sure it wings its way to u

Will do nothing puts a smile on my face more than free things (apart from maybe a free ounce of grass)

Nice :: high fives ILB ::

@littlemissspliff
Yeah, I meant to type dust, but for some reason at the time, mud was what I typed. Heh..

I worry about Amy, man, no one should have a serious lung disease at her age : (

Thats what crack does to your lungs, probably made worse thanks to chemical impurities caused directly by prohibition.
