amazing glasto, maybe best ever
got back to cardiff bout 4pm after queuing for hours in the midday sun for the buses, still all good humoured tho.
me and some mates were doing the wristbands so got to camp behind the farm right at the top. got there on tuesday and it was glorious and silent.
really really hot on tues weds and thurs, difficult to move about. the storm was mental and i stayed in the tent for the duration, it was one of the biggest storms i've ever heard, rivers going down the hill and building up against peoples tents and stuff. managed to step in a few huge nud puddles over my boots but not too bad. it definately did not dent the spirit of most people there. there was a sanctuary tent near us that had free suncream, place to chill and enough space to sleep 140.
highlights - all the amazing stimuli all over the shop, the happy people, even got emotional a few times at the scenes in the greenfields and lost vagueness.
that narrow landrover in mutoid wste was crazy and deadsilence on friday and sunday on the pirate ship were rocking it, great show.
the dance village was impressive and properly havin it all day and night, so good down there and going on til 3 was a touch. saw a few acts down there that i can't remember who but were really good and got the crowds going.
actually got to see some stuff, most of which was blinding
smith and mighty, koma and bones, dj skinny iirc, iration steppas, ian brown (good to hear a few roses tracks) van was good but moody, bryan wilson was a good show and it was a good sight to see everyone jigging in the sun, glc were well funny claarts. pondlife mc's from cardiff opened the continental drifts stage with the innerfield rig on thurs afternoon which was good and got the early comers going.
lowlights - not sorting it out to get to prod even tho i burnt a cd and brougt a 7", sorry dub. and only meeting 2 new urbanites, hiya to pieye and dirtysanta, nice to meet you. went down the cider bus in thurs and couldn't find anyone. cider was nice tho, as was the pear cider
also went thru the dragon camp but didn't see the urban den
having to trek about was harsh, but worth it.
crowds and losing people.
the 'upscale' catering outlets and increased rubbish and frivilous shit.
twats with ridiculous amounts of stuff, never seen anything like it
had to have a go at some woman for having the tap on full blast getting all the mud off her wellies when there was just more outside anyway, she totally didn't get it
stone circle, not as crazy as years gone
did not see any fights or (too much) dodgyness either which was different.
anyway
it was totally glorious, beautifull, wicked, diverse, funny, sunny, happy and rocking
and i only got given a 4 hour shift, ha ha, thought we had to do 20!
woohoo
have a good recovery all
