Rabid & I decided last year not to go this year. Tbh, reading all the threads with folk fretting over clashes & the weather & where to camp etc I'm breathing quite a sigh of relief. And everything's getting soooo organised it seems to go against every Glasto grain there is. It's all too much hassle for us simple things!

I hope everyone has fun however they decide to do it, with whomever & having necked whatever.

Have a Hot & Spicey for us, make sure there are enough fairy lights around Camp Triangle to do us both proud. We'll have a few in Amsterdam for you B)

Sorry to hear that  :(

You've obviously made the right decision, what with planning other 'events', and not spending too much time on here posting and stuff  :unsure:  :P

Hey, nothing wrong with getting organised. I'm sure you can understand than if a m*ddy one is imminent you kind of have to be, else you're screwed.

You'll be fine, as will we x

See you there in 2013 x Much peace and love x

Getting organised is part of the fun for me. Builds up the excitement seeing my bag that little bit bigger once I've a few items or called my friends to discuss meeting up.

It's the getting there & then becoming unorganised that's the most fun though.

Oh I'm not talking about getting organised to go, I'm the first to write a list & to make sure we have at least one of everything!

It just seems there are so many Meets, fancy dressings, & hi-viz clipboards knocking around these days, that it all just seems like a whole heap of hard work! Camp Triangle almost looks like becoming a victim of it's own success too.

Me, I'll be pulling up a seat in a nice little Coffeeshop with Rabid & a few other defectors...... B)


But like I say, have fun! :D

It's funny, I was only thinking earlier that there are less meets planned this year than there were last year. I think folk don't bother, as its hard for others to stick to arranged plans once they arrive on site.
I think the Wednesday evening is a winner, but after that who knows where you're likely to end up!  :ph34r:  :blink:

Hey, have fun whatever you do x and rest easy without any need for wellies x

Peace x

I'm organized up to the point I unpack, I think thats the way to do it if I'm honest... otherwise you could be shooting yourself in the foot and sabotaging your enjoyment!

Can't for the life of me see a need for them at a festival though.

I have said it to you and rabid lots and lots but I'm gonna say it again.  You (and all the other defectors!) will be missed  :(

But I hope you all have a fantastic time and see you the following weekend B)

I'm not actually bringing one this year. Just a nice plastic file in which to keep the labels dry (and use as a clipboard...although I DO have 3 different coloured pens!!!) :P :lol:

I dont think there's too much over organisation this year. Less meets for certain. CT is an evolving entity that self manages and changes/develops into something different year on year but still has its core of regulars. Wednesday is the big winner, everything else is a lovely bonus and its nice that certain members of this forum are proactive in wanting to help people have the chance to get together, meet up and do fun things.
