[sam/phallocrat]

shitting nora, hope things perk up for you soon . . .

as for the glade, I had quite a lot of fun . . . let's see:

wicked site
awesome shifts (not a blag, honest)
my complete joker of a supervisor on the Friday pm shift
the lovely people in the Rabbit Hole who looked after me so well
mint campsite with campers to match (apart from the gobshite mentioned above)
The DJ Producer - pyar HCT rinseout - RUUUDE
sleeping for about 14 hours of saturday afternoon/night
proper soundsystems properly loud
best Glade Sunday ever (and that's saying summat)
Rowan
having a good rinse to Cyantific
The motherfucking Squire of Gothos - Sheffield crew representing - and I got a shout out!!!
cheeky Sunday afterparty action with the rabbit hole crew
cheap booze in the backstage bar (at about 3am on Monday morning)
the lovely (and very fit) blonde lass who chased me around for a fair few hours on the Sunday before I told her a certain something
a properly relaxed monday
leaving at 8pm on said monday
a very wobbly/stoned/fucking fast journey home (4 hours inc 2 brief stops)
the fact that there'll be one next year
the people
the love

He [Tony Andrews] was around a lot. He was in an out at Origin when I was working there on Saturday.

Yeah, he was around last year as well; saw him panicked at one point during Ambisonics PC crash.

Hard to believe it was only a week ago.

I soo want to go back next year. Or, actually, right now.

Whats the point of a festival if you cant look like a tit

What you mean the Berghaus jacket?

fs - didn't occur to me you could have working their rig. I would have come and said hello... I had just come off the hill after shooting it from above on Saturday when the fire show was starting.

Next time perhaps!

tbf I didn't know anything about us being drafted in to sort their nonexistant stewarding out until a couple of hours before we got drafted in either... was a wee bit of a shock to the system as well, having just been asked to supply 5 people to steward a fireshow, with no time to properly check it out in advance. Fuck knows how we pulled it off actually given that we had to move getting on for a thousand people out of the performance area and keep them back for the duration of the show with 5 A-team and half as much rope and FO tape as we needed... sheer stubbornness I think

would have been a very bad time to have come and said hello though

Ah ok... I was safely away up the hill shooting this... it's just before the fire show started, so that nicely vacated space is your team's good work. Impressive you did that with just five of you

great picture... think I rounded up and extra 2-3 people in the end, but yeah 7-8 people to clear and hold a crowd that big was a bit of a challenge

Just reading back through this thread and smiling at what a totally brilliant festival it was and what a good time I had.

And wishing I went to more crazy Overkill tent type nights!
