Title: Yet another Glasto thread
Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, June 16, 2005, 12:32:43
I'm really jealous of you Glasto folks, I think this is the first year in recent times that the lineup has really appealed to me, usually I'm far more interested in Reading but with the exception of The Weddoes, there's nobody playing that I'd really be excited about whereas Glasto has loads of superb bands and some big highlights as well.

Is anyone going to take their digital camera? I really want pics so I can feel as though I was there  8)

I'll have my d500, so should be able to get a couple of decent shots SY.

I'm taking a disposable then will scan them in.

RappersDelight did this last year, and most of his pictures are superb.

i think i'm going to risk my digital camera as the only other things i'll have to carry around with me is smoking ingredients and a bit of doller.

Same as, just snapped up a couple of spare battries for a tenner to take with me.

Anyone know what the coverage is like, I know Orange are heavily involved but herd that it can be a bit patchy?

May just snap up a handfull of Orange PAYG sims and dish em out to everyone if that's the best option.

I've seen that Love sculpture twice now can someone explain how the fuck people get on top of it?

Looks like a lot of work to me for a sit down.

Plus where is the "dragon" people keep telling me to camp by?

Cool pics, I'm going to pray for sun every night til we go.

Those who have been before, why camp at the bottom of the map? I've never been so I'll take your word for it, I'm just curious why you go there not anywhere else.

it's quieter, so get sleep when needed!
never heard about anything stolen from tents
it's out of the way but still close to everything
it's near the stone circle (which is where my nights are finished)

When the Glasto lot go off to a muddy field in the middle of nowhere I think we should start our own thread.

The 'We're not at Glastonbury and we don't care' thread.

It'll be great, we can sit at home and watch it on TV, drinking alone and taking class A's, chatting on the TEF about how mashed we are and what's your name and where do you come from....

They'll be so jealous.

I'm not bitter that I'm not going , honest  :cry:

Fuckin hell, I can't wait now. Glastonbury's become my yearly highlight, It's difficult to sum up the awesomeness to people who haven't been. To be honest this year I'm less bothered about the line up than I have been for a while. Looking forward to Ian Brown as I've never seen him. But seen the likes of White Stripes and Coldplay (and really don't like their new album) already. Bit annoyed because apperently kasabian and new order are clashing, have to see new order but would have liked to take this chance to see kasabian

I'm going to go with Kasabian, granted New Order are big guns, but I just prefer Kasabian's music, and Joy Division/New Order sort of past me by really - I don't know why.
