Sunray
Its sunny somewhere.
I can't see how you can not go this year because of the weather last year?
That would mean new people going this year to Endorsit are going this year because it was sunny last year?
We all had a great time, in part because it was sunny and told everyone so. Would people have been so promotional if it had, like everywhere else has pissed down for the entire three days or do people think that Dorset county council has control of the rain?

We're not going because I trashed my leave allowance going to India in January, and with what little I have left I want to do a few small festies like endorse it and off the tracks etc. (£175 got me three festival tickets, so far.) 
And then some other things entirely that aren't even festivals at all

Bloody right! But it was a bit cloudy on the Sunday last year, so I might go home early on the Sunday this year.

or £75 for endorse it.
True, but they're not really comparable in size, number of stages etc.
I shall be having fun at both

more tea vicar?
been there, done it to death, spent 3 weeks on site one year, the last time I was there I just felt like I was going through the motions, couldn't find anything new and exciting to make me go fuck me that's amazing.
it's too tame actually - no decent late night sound systems, no travellers field, glade split up and distributed across the site, lost vagueness has lost it's anarchy, meanfiddler penny pinching with their working blag allocations, and the fuckwits we were working for last time not looking after last time not understanding why we might need access to free coffee actually in the area we were working in rather than a mile walk away across site if they wanted us to provide 24 hour a day cover for 4 days using volunteer stewards.
I may still end up going, but only if they either pay me, or I get a non working blag.

I went to a festival in Portugal a few years ago... it was too fucking hot! lol
Atleast in this country, when you wake up in a boiling tent, you can crawl out and rest your head on the cool ground. There it was like crawling out of an oven only to find yourself under the grill

That's kinda how I feel, but who knows - I might crack closer to the date if the opportunity avails itself and end up going.

I have to admit I've never ever been to Glasto. From reports of people I've left it too late as it ain't what it use to be.
I've been to a few festivals but reports of Glasto have usually put me off. The good aspects of festival seem to get magnified at Glasto. Unfortunately the bad aspects of festivals seem to be maginfied even more than the good is.

Strung_out's first rule of festivals... as soon as the person telling you how much they hate festival's nowadays is the kind of person you'd hate to meet at a festival, it's time to start going to them again

two kinds of wonderful
i chose the ticket price option but its a bit more than that. like others have said, done it a times before and just not feeling it at the moment. with a kid in tow the line up needs to be supreme and its a bit bland i think this year. the lack of traveller vibe is a bit rubbish too, for me personally.
at this point in time i'd rather spend my annual leave and money on a decent family holiday where i actually get to relax. if reckon i'll go to benicassim before i go to glasto again.
never say never though, i do plan on going again one day....

I'm not going to glastonbury this year because i heard that michael eavis has been training rabies infected rats to attack campers in their sleep and bite them and has had the rabies rats cyborgised to inject rfid chips with their rabies so that you get trenchfoot, rabies, and spend all your money on poi wellies only to have snow patrol be able to track you wherever you go and if you threw mud at them they'll follow you home to surbiton and throw it at you.
this isn't what my money should be paying for.

i would have liked to go in 95 to see pulp play triumphant.
but then, since i missed nirvana at reading in 92 cos i was cold and hungry and had trench foot so i went to bed, the chances aren't high that i would have actually seen them.
am a bit flaky when it comes to actually seeing bands at festies.
i bet they were great, though.

fun to funky
I actually quite enjoy watching it on tv at my leisure.
Its tricky for me to get there. (can't really stump the tickets either)
%organic-wellys-styledhair-twat too high. well actually wouldn't know as I have never been and have not much desire to. Thats why

Just fancied a break and a chance to go to a few new ones this year. Will be back next year I imagine

Its sunny somewhere.
Its very weird watching it on TV. Its like a super special version of Later with Jooles Holland without atmosphere.
felixthecat
are we there yet?
Cos I don't have any friends who are interested in going to festivals anymore, and I don't have a woman to go with.
Thats a totally rubbish reason!
The best times I have had at festies were when I was by myself - just myself to please and all sorts of randoms to meet and chat to
.Isn't it?
The only decent festival coverage I've seen was when Channel Four did Bestival a few years back. You got a proper feel for what being at a festival is like, not just back-to-back main stage bands.
I got back last year and everyone on Urban had been commenting on telly coverage of a festival I hadn't actually been to.
Not voting, because all the poll options are irrelevant to me ...

oh, thought you were dead
Stopped going a few years back after not missing one from 1993 onwards.
Felt like there was nothing there to surprise me any more.
