Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Dubversion]

with any luck, exactly one week from now we'll be unpacking Truck.

Without any luck, we'll be in traffic near the Bath & West Showground or something

 

[Crispy]

i'm only joking, i don't mind really.

i'm excited too. in one week today i'll be on a coach with sparra & crispy - getting v pissed woo.

Not too pissed I hope - I ain't carrying your tent!

 

[moonsi til]

I have not got my tickets yet.....I think they are going to end up going to my mate who ordered them....which is nowhere near me or others !!! I think I will have a spare carparking ticket....as we all seemed to have ordered one.

too pissed to carry a tent would be extremely shameful. i think i'll be okay i think we should take many dr*gs on the coach

 

[JTG]

i'm never in the dragon field. though i do pop in and visit a few times. nah, there's about 40 of us camping up behind the the cinema tent on high ground away from the crowds. we always camp up there. it's just.... better!

Not far for you to visit us then. Me, wiskers and derv should be in family camping somewhere. Do pop by for tea and spliffs

cheers will wander past and throw things

 

[Dubversion]

you know this anyway, but we're doing Juke Joint in the Pussy Parlure (Dance Village) on Thursday between 9pm and 10.30pm.

i reckon you should all come

innit. we'll either be in there or in wicket, depending on where the first arrivals think looks nicer!

it's a little out of the way, but you get space for a decent campfire for when you all get back in the early hours and want to tell your stories, you don't need to climb over millions of tents, it has a nice view, no flooding, decent toilets, and the walk keeps you fit! plus the cinema fields broadcasts weird noises across it all night, ideal for keeping the trippers entermatained!

I'm fighting agasint the clock to rustle up a car battery-powered soundsytem for camp urban. fingers crossed

if you work out how, let me know

i've got mp3 player, speakers and a T-Amp, and was then going to just depend on AA batteries

i've got a few milk crates, an old microphone and an acoustic guitar. sod the pyramid stage

 

[Skim]

I like the look of Lime Kiln and Woodsies, but it's just too far away from the part of the festival I want to spend most time in. Quite good for the dance area though, withouth having to resort to camping in the horror of Oxlyers...

 

[Crispy]

Well, I've had a google and apparently, a car battery is 12V DC and will supply as many amps as the device wants to draw. I read a report of a guy running a T-amp for 100 hours with no need to charge the battery. Just rig the correct terminals of the battery up to the correct terminals on a plug for the power adaptor socket.

The only tricky bit is keeping the mp3 player charged. I'm banking on there being more than one music source available.

 

[Dubversion]

can you not charge the mp3 player from the battery while not at the tents? or is that risky?

and even if you can't, can you explain how i can?

 

[Crispy]

well you'd probably need an inverter to turn 12V DC into 120/240V AC so you can plug the MP3 player's charger in. You can get one from maplin.

Can you get car chargers for MP3 players?

Because if you can, I have the other end. The bit that would be attached to the car, wired to two croc clips. Clip these to your battery and off you go.

Which means I can also keep my phone charged off your battery, cheers chucks

but you don't need that for the t-amp?

i HATE electronics
