You'll find me at an Info point somewhere. Or, of course, Cider Bus. Those are the places to avoid my smug knowing grin.

Of course the only reason I've changed my mind is so that I can make absolutely sure I have a totally shit time so that I'll never be tempted to go ever again!

 

[Looby]

How the fuck did that happen???!!!

Aqua, bees, moose?

(If it's sunny, you're screwed. Until 2011 at least. )

Thank you for your order

You have ordered:
1 ADULT 16+ ticket(s)
for Glastonbury 2008

How the fuck did that happen???!!!

Who knows! The mysteries of Glastonbury eh??

Welcome back aboard matey, you'll have a great time I'm sure cos you know the score. And this time you'll be lazing (but in an active 'must go off and get fucked over at that stage' kinda way, naturally ) while I'm working, instead of vice versa . ....

See you at Sunrise ....

"I'm in control, I can stop any time I want to"

Ha!

You'll never catch me doing all that self delusion shite though. Me I know I'm addicted .... I'm just managing it ... sorta ...

 

[William of Walworth]

As you know, I don't normally go for the lineup, but I do spend much of my time at Avalon, and if I thought Melua and Young were two of the headlining acts in there, I'd kind of think I'd arrived on a different planet.

It's like showing up at your local and finding it's been taken over by Chef and Brewere - there are stil plenty of other pubs yhou can go to but you still miss the old one.

Thats a fair analogy to be fair ...

Well I like Sharron Shannon (on Avalon also) but I do take your point.

These days, I reckon a lot of the more interesting acts (interesting to old schoolers, anyway!!) that would have been on Avalon a little while back have just migrated to Leftfield and now perhaps, Shangri La stages and elsewhere round the Green Fields.

We haven't heard about the real small scale stuff yet.

Zion Train and Dreadzone on at the Glade are big names compared to the stuff I hope to spend some time bimbling along to.

S.w.i.m.

Nowt wrong with Shakey. The Welsh Elvis so they** say

**fanbois and girlz!!

I don't understand why people would go to Glastonbury with all the hassle and expense and not see anything? Esp given the mud last year.

Go camping in Italy or Spain or somewhere nice. Surely got to be a better way to spend the money.

Having seen James Blunt, Shakin Stevens, and Crowded House and The Fucking Verve on the menu - unless I'm given Ritalin and Valium intravenously for the next few weeks its unlikely to feature very high on my list of summer "must-dos".

I'm sure there'll be some great drugs (though the weed shortage is a worry) and fringe sounds systems to save the day, but for fucks sake...

At least there's one potential plus - Pete Doherty will be there fresh out of nick - perhaps they'll finally find him face down in the then dried mud being nibbled by the dairy herd six weeks after the festy finishes....

the girl whose name i got tattoed across my chest had a brother who loved SS. and believe me WoW, he was only the Welsh Elvis in the minds of a few deluded souls i'm afraid. Shirley B had class, Tom J had style, shaking s ain't got much imo.

Enjoy yourself anyways my man, i'm sure you will

Didn't he have an old house? With a green door?

I'm sure that must count for something, given the improbable rise in house prices since 1983.

 

[William of Walworth]

I'm not a Shaking Stevens fan. But I just may know someone who'll possibly want to see him ... need to check ...

 

[moose]

Aqua, bees, moose?

No thanks - I'm not even remotely tempted. Originally this was supposed to be just a year off, but now I'm not sure I'll ever go again.

 

[William of Walworth]

at permenancy .....

At least give this year a chance to happen first before burning your boats!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

How the fuck did that happen???!!!

Pah, no backbone

Aqua, bees

Nope - not got the cash now, not got the time, can't be arsed.

oh lord:

Trash City will include:

Mutiod Waste in Trash City by Ray YatesDrag Strip Big Band Tent – a large clear span tent, with stage, lighting and bar. The venue will run from 10pm – 6am Thursday through to Sunday night with a capacity will be around 700. The Drag Strip is a large-scale music and performance venue deigned to look like a Mexican border-town biker bar. Aside from bands and acts the venue will house a cast of over 20 in-house performers playing various characters, whose role is to interacting with the audience at all times. The venue is being designed inside and out by award-winning theatrical designer Robin Harvey; whose previous work has included sets for Punchdrunk’s Faust.

That's my weekend sorted

If Glastonbury is all about the small-scale stuff, as so many have mentioned; why not just go to a small festival where you get exactly what you want with none of the other hassle?

Not a dig, just genuinely curious, as most of the 'Glasto' die-hard claim to never go near the big stages.

Seems like being a Man U fan but only caring about the reserve team, to continue the football analogy. Why not give FCUM your support?

Firstly, lots of people DO go to the smaller festivals.

Second, the sheer volume of different things to do makes a big difference. No other festival has that kind of variety. Very few small festivals have 'what I want', cos I personally hate fiddly-diddly shite, half-baked dub/folk/fusion bands and the like, which tend to dominate at most small festies.

Absolute filth. Goatse with pineapple chunks.

[William of Walworth]

I'm liking the sound of those Trash City things ... I missed out on going there entirely last time , but they've got more space now ...

 

[William of Walworth]

I don't think that file is porn at all, but I'm not getting to it either ... I get near to a file called glastonbury_2.doc, but I can't open it.

Oh yeah baby

And stop with the Shakey dissing...I had mucho fun dancing to his records when I was a little kid. Some people are just too cool for school...

Wry and I have worked out who we want to see on the main stages, everything else we're torrenting etc to see what they sound like...
