Glastonbury 2009

[Tank Girl]

Now I'm not one to bang on about the weather but ...

... have a look at metcheck today, people!



ETA: And here's what Neil Young played last night.

Really wish I was going now. It looks like it's gonna be ace.

I bought a new waterproof coat because of you and the monsoon

I've got to buy everything yet!

 

[madzone]

I've got to buy everything yet!

I've got to buy a table but I think I'm ok for everything else

 

[Yelkcub]

A table? What would you want a table for?

 

[Tank Girl]

i had a day out in glastonbury yesterday and got really excited when i saw the yellow traffic signs on the bus there. then i climbed the tor and everyone was looking at the site through their binoculars and the sun was shining and i got REALLY FUCKING EXCITED.




then i remembered i'm not going.

aww

 

[madzone]

A table? What would you want a table for?

To sit at

 

[r0cky]

I've just looked at the lastest images from wickedfaerie, it looks like Williams is back to 2007 with half the field taken up by crew!

That combined with Climate Camp taking up Dragon it's going to be packed this year.

[newbie]

To sit at

ooh, a new and different street theatre. The tealadies has been getting a bit tired, anyway.

I'll only sit at it outside my tent

Everyone's so silly

 

[newbie]

Glastonbury 2009, the sensible year.

 

[madzone]

Glastonbury 2009, the sensible year.

I'm 44. Not being sensible stopped being fun about 10 yrs ago.

 

[Yelkcub]

To sit at

That all sounds very organized and civilized

Neither of those term will apply to me!

 

[madzone]

Why do you think I'm staying on my own

 

[newbie]

ok, fair enough, I spose somebody, somewhere on site has to be sensible.


however, since I think you said somewhere up there ^ that this is your first time, could I suggest that a sensible thing would be to consider just how far away the carparks are and how heavy your table is?

 

[belboid]

we may well take a table as well! They're bloody handy things. And you dont have to take absolutely everything with you as soon as you arrive on site. Making two journeys is possible - or even three!

It's not my first time

It will be a fold up/roll up camping table - not heavy at all. And I'm probably going to camp in the disabled area so a shuttle bus will take my stuff to the campsite

It's possible for old, sober people to have fun at festivals as well you know. It's not all about drugs, drink, getting munted and covered in mud

Exactly

And first thing in the morning, when I'm sitting nicely at my table with a pot of tea and a nice brekkie while others are sitting on their arses on the wet grass will I feel just a tiny bit guilty?

Errrr......no

 

[newbie]

ok, ok, ok my apologies all round. I'll keep my substandard 'jokes' to myself in future.

 

[paolo]

I'm 44. Not being sensible stopped being fun about 10 yrs ago.

Well I'm 42, and I'm very sure that my 'Table at Glastonbury' years are a very long way off.

What you need to do is make some fake decks to put on it. Insta-cool transformation.

Yes, you do that, whippersnapper

I think the knitting and good book would give it away

 

[newbie]

Well I'm 42, and I'm very sure that my 'Table at Glastonbury' years are a very long way off.

tbf I think we had a scalping and a couple of logs last year which worked as a sort of table come seat thing.

 

[paolo]

And you've set Belboid off on it now too.

This is Urban 75. You're meant to be face down in a ketamine trauma, not making cups of tea.

SORT YOURSELF OUT.

Cheers for texting me the shifts paolo. They're not bad at all ... hope it's OK to post em up here ...

No early starts, lots of partytime Friday and Saturday. Deb's quickly checked the clashfinder and says we'll be free for both the Specials and Madness and Neil Young, as well as loads of other shit , will be checking all this myself later., No doubt in great detail

We will be around for the early part of any Cider Bus meet on the Thursday, but we'll have to watch the cider intake at that time, pre shift ...

Oh yeah, we just have to hope our working tickets arrive this week, we leave for Glastonbury (town) earlyish this Saturday morning, on site from Monday morning.

Woot!!!


And another woot!! for this latest forecast update from the Met Office and for this Glasto-specific albeit more technical one from JACKONE on netweather.tv (latter from yesterday evening, and due another update this evening, Monday)

Must dash, in an internet cafe, my home PC still Trojanned to fuck for now ....

 

[Tank Girl]
