If you're the sort of person who stays up all night and goes to bed when the sun's coming up, they are absolutely essential :)

well, i take one with me because i find the sun wakes me up at dawn, approximately five minutes after i go to bed. lack of sleep makes me sluggish and unenthusiastic. this is not a state i want to be in at GLASTONBURY *dances* so when i get back to my tent at around 4am i drop a couple of valium, pop me eye mask on, and slip into a coma. about seven hours later *BANG* i'm awake, refreshed and raring to go and get a nice cup of tea and a veggie breakfast cooked by a naked hippy in a yurt. my friends meanwhile have had a bout two hours sleep and are tired, grumpy, and too stoned to move.

i win at Festivals.
 
1] Weed
2] Condoms
3] Rizla (plus spare in a freezer bag)
4] Lighter (plus spare in a freezer bag)
5] Thick hoody / jumper
6] Sunglasses
7] Boots
8] Bog roll
9] Cash and plastic
10] Lucozade sport with codeine for hangovers

Sorted.

Oh and don't take a watch. If you need to know the time ask someone, its a good way to start conversation with randoms :)
 
I don't think I've managed more than four hours of sleep a time at Glastonbury:(

This year it's going to be different... patch, plugs, mother's little helpers. Maybe some Mackesons stout, too :cool:

Perplexis gave me some at the Bloc Weekend when I couldn't sleep, and although I'm not normally a stout drinker, I really liked it.

My gran used to drink it, she'd sit in her favourite armchair eating nuts and swilling Mackesons, so it's got nice associations :)
 
and you can feck off, btw, there ahve been plenty of times when i've still been sitting around the urban campsite long after you've gone to bed :D :p
 
The problem with sleeping in the daytime at festivals is being inside a bastard-hot tent. I think I may attempt a tent shade this year. Doubtless even suggesting such a thing will guarantee torrential rain. Damn you solypsism :mad:
 
I go to be about 2am at festivals. But I am so hardcore that is actually the 2am from the previous day. It just seems to the casual observer like I am going to bed early.

yes dear.

:rolleyes:



































what of it :mad:


actually, one year i slept a sum total of less than six hours between wednesday and monday. i also only ate two meals the entire time. since then i have been somewhat lightweight, if only because of the internal pain that i suffered for a week after. bet you can't guess what drug that i was constantly doing that year!

Dude! That may be how you played it at last Glasto but I remember a fair few festies before that where things didn't run quite so smoothly ... :p ;)

A box of red wine is a useful addition to the beer cache as it tastes nice warm, and you can remove the box and you have a flexible, easy to lug around bag of goodness! Perfect for dancing with, sneaking past places where you're not meant to take alcohol (is Glastonbury like this?) and, of course, drinking!

Great idea! I *heart* red wine anyway and its less likely to get knicked by the people I'm going with. Good to 'take the edges off' too when I wanna chill out. Love it!

And thank you for the rest of the very informative post :)
 
All these essentials would also make excellent products for placing on inhebriated friends bodies in a human buckaroo type game. Also no one has added twister to the essentials. Ket twister 4tw!
