I would like the weather we had at The Big Chill last year...again for both Glasto and The Big Chill again - it was three days of roasting English weather!

bollocks. the mud is only good for the times it doesn't matter. the times when you forget about it being so muddy. hence Chemical Brothers in 2000 (?) being so absolutely transcendent - nothing else mattered were it were sunny or pissing down, they were sublime. Otherwise the weather was a complete pisser that year.moose said:Oi!I quite like the mud.

I like it because it blurs the boundaries.
I'd agree with wot Newbie's said, quoting himself in 2002 - a big difference in the festival these days is that many people mark out their territory like they would at home. They go around with their mates and no one else. They wait to see what amusements are laid on. They stick to the paths.
In a muddy year, there's a subtle shift - people are less sure of themselves, less insular, more open.

Thursday evening at the cider bus is somewhat of an urban tradition now, plus there will be a load of us camping together. Look out for details of my email list early next weekstereotypical said:

That was Mudbath II, 1998**. The Chemicals were on both then and in 2000, when it was almost entirely dry ...
**Edit to add, Technically Mudbath III if you count 1985, the worst
one ever, as well as 1997. Luckily I didn't have to endure 1985 -- apparantly it hardly stopped raining after June 10 that year ...
Mudlovers are freaks!!!
'Blurring the boundaries" may be all very well, but you don't need mud for that.
Having nowhere to sit down anywhere = Mud is rubbish with few redeeming features ....
aqua said:in fact I think I'm either going to scream or cry
Keep trying!!! What did they tell you on the phone??
Good luck!

Useless fucking cunts x 100
How hard can it be to cancel one set? And then actually tell you wahts happening, rather than a complete crock of cack?
Useless. Fucking. Wankers.

they cancelled one set, just NOT the set I asked them to that they said they'd do which meant Wiskers (being the star in the first place helping us out) and I believed them and she moved money so the ones they DIDN'T cancel have now bounced
good fucking job I don't trust them otherwise we would never have known
anyoe want to run the glasto camp email this year? Looks like we ain't going
*goes off to kick aloud*
Can I actually say a big thank you to wiskey though for helping in the first place

....and I had some damn fine proper old school ecstacy to boot
Saturday of 99 was a mini-heatwave. I fell asleep outside the dance tent and woke up with half a tan
...and 95 was very nice. Didn't even seem to get cold at nights and probably the best vibe of all years I've been to - rememebr getting there late Friday, running down to see Levellers and Rage Against the Machine, then setting my tent up in the dark (At leat I think that was '95 )

Was that on the main stage?
I must have been in the only place it was possible to dance
Right infront of the mixing tower. Everybody complained it was utterly rammed, but I had full space to flail my limbs about I remember the opening sample "surrender to the void..."

Just because there wasn't money in your account doesn't necessarily mean you've lost the tickets. It would be more hassle for them to do something else with the tickets than just allowing you a couple of days to sort it out.
This happened to me before, I freaked out but it was all
in the end.It's not the worst case scenario, honest

This is correct. It applies whether the money is in your account or somebody else's. Do not give up!!!
Keep hassling them BIG STYLE, then hassle them again until you get a satisfactory response.
Sorry to hear of these troubles. Full support coming from Walworth way (for what thats worth ...)
