isnt it. i want to be there

does that make me bad?

on the festival this morning, speculating on why tickets have not sold out (mud, too much competition, BOOKING AN ETHNIC TO HEADLINE, mud) and they spoke to some out of touch Sloanies camped near the Pyramid Stage. Said Sloanies attempted to explain The Glastonbury Experience without uttering the word "DRUGZZZzzz!" and one of them actually said "it's just so random here!", at which point I just started shouting "WACKY! WOOOO! WACKY! WACKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at my TV over and over and then I realised I was 20 minutes late in leaving for work.

and I'm not arsed in the slightest.

to impulsively go today without a ticket?
they're not sold out right?
hmmm

I also recieved the ungodly hour text messages around 02:30 from friends have left all employment and normality behind them to the fields of pilton

but after last year I just really couldn't be arsed this time.

And I do hope it rains again this time...

I was thinking last night that we'll never know if he was good or not.

All those that went will say he was amazing and a great headline choice and ya ya blah blah JUST to make the point that it's an amazing festival and you wouldn't undertand BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN...YOU WEREN'T THERE.

(I wish I was there now it's happening)

especially since my sister rang last night and said she had a vip ticket.

I decided to save my cash and a week of holiday leave and give it a miss this year. god i really want to go now.

No close friends are going; everyone I know who *is* seems to be both a fair whack older and richer than me; it does seem to be a bit of a family picnic affair this time round.

On the other hand, those people are farting around happily in tents, and I am work. I am focusing very hard on thoughts of Truck.

24 June 2008

Glastonbury revellers can expect mainly dry but breezy weather at this year's festival.

Met Office forecasters are predicting relatively settled conditions with a good deal of dry weather over the weekend, which is in sharp contrast to the wet and muddy conditions of recent years.

Andy Page, Chief Forecaster said: "Festival-goers won't be basking in scorching sunshine, but temperatures should be quite pleasant. There will be a few showers around over the weekend but these should not be too heavy or last for long. However, we're expecting it to be fairly breezy with gusty winds potentially affecting tents."

I am jealous. Though I am going to the Fuji Rock festival in Japan at the end of July so can't really complain! I bet it pisses down.

and shaking my fist at anyone with an acoustic guitar and a straw hat.

It's my first time not going since 2002. I really wasn't arsed at all, but sat here at my desk I do kind of wish I was there. But at least I can take comfort in the fact that the line up is still rubbish, none of my close friends are there, it's going to rain at some point, and I'm seeing Radiohead on Sunday.

went last year and the one a couple of years before. But, can't be arsed with the rain anymore.

If I was there now, I'd be purchasing thirty plus dohnuts to be scoffed when I return from an allnight pardee.

I couldn't face the journey, the masses, the drugs, the rain, them ud, the masses again and the toilets.

This year my Primavera pal from Barcelona is coming over so we can watch My Bloody Valentine in Manchester, and I'll take him to the Beatles story in Liverpool.
