Glastonbury 2009

are you going for the whole weekend?!

part of me wants to jump for joy, and the other part is frowning at you :D

well our main slot is on Friday so if it all goes tits up re: my leg, we can - worst case scenario - bail out early and not piss anyone off.
 
I got a ticket for my daughter very easily last week, seetickets.

you'll need a registration no. if you don't already have one.
 
i just went to the chemist and the caff, my first trip out on my crutches on my own. It took about 30 minutes each way. So either I see NOTHING at Glastonbury, or I have to get fit fucking fast.

Does anyone have experience of people bumming lifts on gaters and other site vehicles if you wave your crutches at them? the odd trip along the railway line would be a godsend,
 
You're a menace.

Basically you have to do lots more crutching so you get better and stronger at it. I am NOT watching you drive off into the sunset whilst I have to walk after you dragging bags of crap :mad:

You could try emailing/ringing Claire Elsam. She's the disability co-ordinator and if you explain what the situation is you may be able to get some of the suport they offer disabled people - I think they were taling about doing shuttle buses and the like

Claire Elsam - 01749 899654 I can't remember the email but it's on the main site
 
well fuck it, we got asked to play so how could we refuse?

Sod the leg, sod being sensible :)
ha ha i thought you might end up saying that!

So, where & when are you playing?? I enjoyed last year. :)

Oh, you'll get fit fast! You'll be amazed at what you can do a week from now, never mind a month.
My ankle seems to be relapsing a bit, at this rate I'll be taking my crutches with me this year, if only as a precaution. Bet you get around better than I do!
Oh - wear gloves, and really pad out the handles of your crutches or sommat. I got blisters on my palms so deep it took months for them to come out and there was quite a lot of pain to go with that. :hmm:

Is it wrong to feel so excited already? I think I’m becoming obsessed with the fact it’s Glasters next month and that in 6 weeks we’ll be there :)

I’m already on my 3rd version of my packing list! :D

Assuming you have access to power at Dance backstage, you could rent a leccy chair / scooter. Apparently there's a company that will deliver to the site, and collect afterwards.
