Warning, lots of pics and it's quite tl;dr, but I wanted people that have never been to get a good idea of what it's all about, and hopefully convince them to make the trip.

Great review I really enjoyed reading that.
Always good to hear other peoples opinions and reactions to the festival, particularly from someone across the pond, ie a "septic".
I was particularly amused by the reaction you got to entering the site with a suitcase, not necessarily fit purpose but hey you had no choice.
You obviously had a great time, it is hard not to!!!!

Cheers Bort, great blog and one of the best about the festival that I have read. Perhaps it's because you could remember everything - guess the antibiotics were good for something
Hope you manage to make it back soon.

Loved that! Well written and atmospheric. I like that you talk at length about the details outside of the music/bands inc. pics of your meals & various wanders.. v.nice pics too. even including catching the coach from London and queuing up for the coach to leave!

I've got a feeling I was stood next to this person during The Specials from the blog comment.

Thanks, everyone. I do have a ticket reserved for 2010, but still need a couple thousand dollars so I can make it, haha.
