Glastonbury 2008

[FunkyUK]

its going to be a complete royal pain in the arse.

I had to collect tickets a few years back - IIRC, I was really pissed at the hassle I imagined it was going to be, but it was really easy - staff knew what they were doing - drove up to the Box office cabin, got tix quickly, then drove back round to the east car parks. Ok, i didn't have the kids in tow, but you shouldn't be hanging round too long

Info Crew organisers on the case and in the area. Deb's and my tickets both arrived this morning

.. along with a load of frightening instructions and advice

 

[William of Walworth]

Tonight's output NOT looking good for pleasant weather conditions and that's serious, folks.

Really big apologies for posting a prematurely positive UK Met Office forecast yesterday., Right now, that well out of date suggestion of increasingly settled and warmer conditions next week looks like a Fantasy Island outlier.

Prospects and charts can still a change, and they have until about Saturday or Sunday to do so, but we are running out of time ....

 

[William of Walworth]

I want page 100.

 

[William of Walworth]

Come on!!!

Page 100, did you hear?

 

[Looby]

It's mine.

 

[William of Walworth]

Whateva ....

 

[Looby]

Now it is.

 

[William of Walworth]

It's mine.

No way, man ....

 

[Looby]

You'll never win.

 

[Looby]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[William of Walworth]

I'm on win, sparkle's on fail ...

 

[William of Walworth]

BACK OF THE NET!!!!

 

[Looby]

Made of win is me.

 

[William of Walworth]

That one was disallowed, offside ...

ETA : And the officials changed their decision!!!!!!!

 

[Looby]

Fucknuts.

 

[William of Walworth]

Page 100 is MINE -- I rule ....

<runs around pitch with shirt over head>

 

[Looby]

Anyhoo, back to the thread. This time next week we will be onsite, probably pissed, hopefully dry and looking forward to a fucking aces weekend.

Does look rather good doesn't it.

I can see myself going there well before main stages shut, before it gets manic. Especially if the weather is, erm, 'inclement'... most of their stuff is indoors.

 

[moose]

So Shangri La is Lost Vagueness with a slightly more prescriptive dress code. Rock'n'Roll!

Sorry, but anything that has the words "style guide" associated with it, no matter how oh-so-cool and ironically, can suck my cock.

What they are doing sounds great, why dress it up with such pretentious toss?

I agree with you, but I'm focussing on the bit in bold. 'Dress codes' are shite, but all this does look like a real kick up the arse to the old, tired, jaded, faded Lost Vagueness area. Lots of new ideas.

Was at Club Dada at Bestival last September. It was totally kicking music AND atmosphere wise, it will next week as well, and I reckon plenty of these other zones will be

I know what you mean bees about that press release, but realistically the dress codes will be suggestions not rules (I suspect). At the end of day Shangri La will either impress people or not by what they do on the site.

I exchanged a brief email with one of the organisers a few days ago, and her sentiment was that they are working their arses off because they are desperate to make a good impression on the first time out.

I've got a good feeling on this one.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Absolutely, and do I think it'll be good down there, for no other reason than it's new, but give it a couple of years and it'll be exactly the same as LV by the sound of it.

If its that easy Ill be well pleased!

Same here. Anything with a style guide is basically telling me that they don't want losers like me hanging around making the place look ugly, so as far as i'm concerned, it's the camps for them.

Participants not spectators, innit?

they're just trying to offer a sense of involvement I reckon.
You know how people are always bitchin that it ain't what it used to be cos you don't see naked people painted blue anymore and all that malarkey?
exactly the same people bitch when someone says why not dress up and have a laugh? - that's what a festival is for no? You can't really have it both ways.

I doubt you or bees are going too alter what you wear either way but frankly,
given the facial hair and hats you two have sported in the past folk'll reckon yr dressed up anyway.............
