Glastonbury 2008

[silver]

I have learnt that packing the rucksack is futile as you only unpack it fifteen times . . . so now we pile things up in a heap and cram it all in just before we leave the house.

Thats my plan too, I've got a pile of 'Going to Glasto' stuff.... woooooo hooooo I got some red spotted wellies today (not that I shall need them )

 

[Funky_ken]

Nope. But you can buy one on the gate.

Cheers - Is that for all route car parks?

Ive got a corner of my living room filling with Glasto stuff. I need to sort packing soon just so I know Ive got it all!
I just need my bloody ticket!

Ooh Err apparently I've been promoted this year.

That might be fun then

You have the power

 

[wiskey]

I get to stay in a tent!!

if that doesnt guarantee sunshine i dunno what will

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I get to stay in a tent!!

What do you normally stay in then?

 

[wiskey]

when i are sleeping a tent - but in this case i will be awake and it will be the silver control tent.

and no, it isnt silver its white.

All the main punters' car parks yeah. You will need your festival ticket though.

A few piccys from today:

Wateraid plants, with the tower:

Busy "up top".

Really pleased they haven't moved the Tor this year.

Mooo!

I feel so guilty (well just a bit) we are stealing their home.

Can there please be a Thursday night Cider Bus night please Urban Glastonburygoers, as well as on the Wednesday?

We work 8 pm til midnight on Wednesday, but we will be free for cidration on Thursday from 4 pm

Also for the truly fantastic-looking ska night at Leftfield later on the Thursday evening

 

[William of Walworth]

so who's coming to see the wurzels with me at Avalon? Like Chas n Dave only with sensible accents and funnier lyrics. and besides, you're in Somerset so it'd be rude not to.

Up for this, depending on when?

 

[wiskey]

are you gonna be the boss of me then?

I always have been

 

[wiskey]

I might as well stick this up on the off chance

If anybody has space leaving site on Monday afternoon and going towards Bristol and could take derv and I with minimal kit it would be much appreciated as we're probably going to have to hitch home.

Thanks

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

I wont have space until Ive offloaded a couple of kids and their gear but Im happy to come back and collect you on my way back to Cardiff so long as we can swap numbers and all that stuff

 

[wiskey]

blimey thats nice of you

we'll swap numbers before the fest and see what else turn up, i dont want you going out of your way

 

[JTG]

I always have been

 

[wiskey]

 

[jontz01]

Brilliant pics Paolo! They've made me so excited!
Got any more tucked away anywhere?

 

[Sunray]

The pyramid stage looks nice doesn't it.

Never seen it like that. Just needs some bunnies to finish it off.

There usually is a Thursday one isn't there?

not to mention even a Friday, Saturday and a Sunday?


I could swear I have seen Urbanites hanging around there every time I have 'happened' to pass

 

[Badgers]

Any weather news?

 

[genee_rave]

I'm checking this far too much at the moment: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/event_forecast.asp?eventID=559

It's not looking great, but not looking as bad as last year!

 

[Badgers]

The two times that you can almost guarantee rain in the UK are Wimbledon fortnight and Glasto

 

[Mapped]

I'm ignoring weather talk until next weekend at the earliest and making completely uninformed statements that it will be a scorcher I just spent all morning convincing a work colleague to get his arse over to HMV for a ticket, after last year he said he would never go back

He'll kill me if it's another quagmire. However he is brilliant with campfires which will warm the rest of us up.

I know it's all pointless speculation at this time, but even the doom merchants at metcheck have used this icon in part of their forecast now!:

We can but hope

 

[Sunray]

Any weather news?

Yup, its going to piss down.

 

[Tank Girl]

for 6am

metcheck seems to be one of the more optimistic forecasts doesn't it?

 

[Ranbay]

metcheck is the same as the weather now, if its sunny they say it will be at glasto, if it's raining then they say it will rain.
