Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Crispy]

you just know that all those spaces reserved for people in that diagram are going to fill up with bags, clothes, hats and other detritus, leaving you sleeping in the middle

Erm...for no good reason at all other than sheer greed & wanton consumerism, we appear to have a new tent:

Don't you think thats a bit over the top for one person.

Don't you think thats a bit over the top for one person.

Don't be ridiculous.

There are two of us.

Only just back

No weather comment til I've had a chance to check all the updated guesses, I mean forecasts. Some of the sites are updated tomorrow, so more later etc.

I've had a slightly weird one with my ticket. I got the Seetickets email telling me the ticket had just been dispatched way back on Friday 31st. Then nothing happened, all last week I kept giving em a chance to sort it. Then I went away on Thursday and when I got back an hour ago I had 3 days post to check, nothing there either

So finally I've just now got around to checking Seetickets ticket tracker and this is what I got :

Postage Details:
A letter has been sent informing you that your tickets are being held by our courier. Please call <Secure Mail Services Enquiry Line> to arrange for re-delivery.

But I have received no such letter telling me to do this ... maybe that note was only just added to the tracker, the note is not dated ....

Must admit I was under the (somehat illogical??) impression that you got a Post Office Failed Delivery Card (cos that's what's happened in previous years) ... that's what I'd been looking out for, but I've checked all last week's post anyway ..

Anyone else found themselves in that situation?

But not to worry too much, I can sort it tomorrow, get it delivered to my work address , which I should have probably arranged from the beginning ...

 

[crustychick]

okay, you can all breath a sigh of relief as it looks like I'm coming again.

It's a bit of a faff - as I have to leave on the Wednesday to take the car back and then get the train back, but it should all be cool

panic over

so, what's the weather report and when's the meet again

 

[William of Walworth]

My roundup of updated weather 'forecasts' tomorrow.

I'm sure others will also post stuff. Bring yer boots and goretex .... cos obviously that's just a sensible general precaution anyway innit

I'm glad you're making it
And glad to see too that mere 'logistics' and 'practicalities' can't stop someone sufficiently determined from getting there ...

Meetup. Friday, 9 pm. in front of the Main Stage mixing desk

Wow! What lovely pics Tort. I especially love the Tor and Pyramid together. Fab to see what work goes into creating the bits that you take for granted at the festival. These things are what makes Glastonbury festival, well, Glastonbury festival!!!

Yey! 10 sleeps!
