Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Final]

coach is due at the site at 1440 but the bus station is about as far from Dragon as you can get.

Would anyone like to rate my chances of finding a spot after a 3km trek?

 

[bluestreak]

So who is going to be in Camp Urban and who is in the Lime Kilon breakaway faction?

I need to know who my neighbours are so I can demand cups of sugar and cocktails.

well, just to reiterate, camp MNDC which is my east london mates, their hangers on, and so far at east a dozen other urbanites, is in wicket. we're not a breakaway faction, we're just offering an alternative that you're welcome to join if thedragon is too busy for you.

 

[bluestreak]

right, in a minute i'm gonna have some dinner, then a line of ket, then finish packing, then some more ket, and then i'm going to get an early night so IT WILL BE GLASTONBURY TIME SOOONER!

There are an absolute shed load leaving to it will be different bays for each of the Buses most likely.


Sorry to be patronising but you do know how to get to Victoria coach station itself yeah (not the train station).

question: what might i have forgotten to pack?

 

[david dissadent]

question: what might i have forgotten to pack?

tickets?

 

[bluestreak]

nope.

got tent, clothes, tickets, money, supplies, sandals, waterproofs, sleeping bag.... fully charging my phone, packed me camera, about to see about the condom and kinder egg trick ( eek)..

 

[Looby]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhh, I'm too excited and I'm not gonna be able to sleep and I've got to be up at 4.30.

Was gonna have a little spliff so I kept a bit of gear out before I stashed it, have got baccy and no fecking rizlas.

I'm going to open a bottle of wine and try to relax.

 

[felixthecat]

right - thats the lot in the car. If I've forgotten anything - well, fuck it, I'll buy it onsite. Although given the amount of stuff in the car, I doubt that anything major is missing .

Time for bed and up at 6:30 for the final shower and hairwash, and then off at 7:30 eta Pilton somewhere between 8-8:30 depending on traffic.

I'm real excited now........

 

[bluestreak]

[Final]

Having just picked up my fully laiden backpack, I've officially given u all thoughts of trekking across to Dragon from the bus station. Will make the cider bus for 8pm though.

 

[bluestreak]

got all of them.

*snaaart*

also find myself listening to the tao-te ching. we should blunt our sharp points and unravel the complications of things and bring ourselves into agreement with the obscurity of others.

*snaaaarts*

 

[david dissadent]

Cider bus yeah is that in the jazz field?

Fuck sorry where are we meeting on wednesday I was off to the one near the pyramid....
