I  wonder why the pyramid still has its skin ???

[Cooter]

Looks a bit cleaner now as well

Where do they store everything? Like all the Shangri La and Trash City stuff? I can't imagine anyone having that sort of storage space!

The Pyramid Stage was still intact in late August last year.  We were on holiday down there and took the kids for a walk on the public footpath that runs through Worthy Farm.  The Pyramid Stage was the only thing remaining of the Glastonbury site.  It was a very strange experience seeing it empty - it didn't look big enough to hold all the tents, people, stands and stages!!

whats trash city actually like?
i was meant to go this year but couldnt get around to going there.. lol

[Detective McNulty]

I can't really describe it. Surreal. A futuristic city made of trash. A crashed aeroplane, helicopter, a buidling with half of it's first floor smashed up because a flying car has crashed into it (and a plethora of prostitutey looking transvestites dancing in the gap), a nightclub resembling the vampire haven in 'from dusk till dawn', a tank, I dunno... was questioning whether what I seen was real half the time so I may be well off

[Detective McNulty]

Brilliant basically.

Wouldnt exactly call it a city...more a small field with a helicopter, crashed plane, giant pinball machine, a couple of crazy rubbish covered caravans and large shacks masquerading as nightclubs...but sure was a headf**k in the dark. Visiting in the daytime kind of took a bit of the magic out of it. Pretty cool tho...Arcadia was ace when it was within the complex last year

Much as I liked Arcadia this year (and I spent a lot of time there) I prefered it last year. The stage was much smaller and more intimate, and the 360 degree nature of it was better in my opinion.

Last year when the flames went up and you were close to the stage it felt so involved, and so unlike any other gig I've ever been at.

I also thought it fitted the Trash city vibe better than the Shangri La vibe.

Hope this works!!!
I think the dotted green lines are the public footpaths (although we may have accidently veered off the path in our excitement   )
I seem to remember parking somewhere around the church.

Agreed.  It was so much more impressive as an opener to the whole Trash City/Shangri La thing.  Just coming down the hill and being faced with - THAT!  When you saw it at the end of seeing all the other crazy shit, it wasn't quite so impressive.
