Of places you can find grownass men singing about teletubbies? Alas no. I think that may be something I look for this year!!

A list of places I need to visit that do not subscribe to the boom boom tick tick philosophy of late night entertainment! I am certainly working on that. 

Although first I must prize it away from my very mischievous puppy!!!

'Bekimo's michievous puppy', that's one hell of an album title, that is!

Sounds more like a prog rock ensemble to me.

[Gnomicide]

Or a porn film.

If you'd be prepared to share it at some point I'd be grateful as there are countless places that I know I've failed to get to, many I'm perfectly content about to be honest, but some do sound great.

That does sound like an excellent puppy

If only they had titles that had amusing or some whimsy.

The only titles that ever appear on download sites if I'm looking for a telly programme or film have grim names, the sort of thing that could turn you into Tipper Gore worrying about the youth of America.

I don't know. I've never looked.

Yeh I'll pop it up here at some point pre-glasto!  

As for Bekimo's Mischievous Puppy, it could be an album, a porno or a prog rock ensemble. I'm leaning towards something overly ironically hipster. Perhaps I can put Chewie the puppy in a trilby and a pair of aviators!!

Just trying to picture where Fluffy Rock is... it's the circle below isn't it?

Just looking at that picture has strengthened my resolve even more...on the Wednesday I'm going to try to walk along 'every' path of the festival and at least look at everything once!

I saw SOOO much last year, but even as an only-just-not-a-newbie, I am embarrassed not even to have heard of the Fluffy Rock Café. Not acceptable.

I have to agree with this. I definitely need to explore more. It's year four for me and I'm still not sure where 90% of the things mentioned in this thread are. :/

Steady on Ben, even in your super fit state, it's important to keep some of your powder dry.  Remember it's a marathon, not a sprint

[bennyhana22]

I think that, now knowing what Wednesday and Thursday at Glastonbury can offer, compared to every other festival, I am even more excited about those two days that I was last year!

And,m I can take newbies up to the top of the Park!

Thursday morning last year was one of my favourite Glastonbury moments Ben....you were so buzzing after the night before...I remember you saying incredulously that the 'main' bit doesn't even start until tomorrow....but there was so much going on! Reminded me yet again how great the place is.

I wish I'd taken a photo of your face up by the stone circle on weds night when those mad fellas were up that pole....I've never seen child like amazement on an adult 

Glad you get to take a newbie up to the sign..... wonder if their jaw will drop as far as yours did!

Great name for a dog.  As a massive Star Wars nerd, I may have to steal that if i ever get another one.

I love Wednesday and Thursday so much, in some ways I am sad when they are done and Friday arrives and then I get drawn to the music and bimbling days are over :-(

I recall a conversation along the lines of... 

"So that's Acoustic"

"No, West Holt's"...

"... Ah, so that's Acoustic over there"

"I thinks that's circus... I think Acoustic is that one on the hill"

".........fack me!"

I have no recollection of that conversation**

I knew immediately where everything was. 

I've looked at lots of videos.

How dare you.

**I did say '...fack me!', though - flipping' nora this place is BIG

[Titters]

I was very much paraphrasing for comic effect. 

 

I'm pretty sure we couldn't work where Acoustic was, though

 

When you say every path - is that stages and markets? or you looking to do a tour de campsites?

In some ways I get more excited about the Wednesday/Thursday. Less pressure to go and see bands, I love just enjoying the glastonbury atmosphere on those days and exploring (when I say exploring, a lot of that time is spent sitting down and drinking cider).

Find somewhere selling honey and cayenne pepper, both massive natural energy boosters 

Interestingly I hope to have some ghost pepper mead next year.  That's all of your staples covered!

I remember stumbling into somewhere in 2013 quite late on and there was some sort of free styling rap battle going on. It was fantastic to watch but sadly I have absolutely no recollection of where it was. Even the missus enjoyed it despite not liking rap at all!

Stages, markets and other non-campsite areas - so healing fields etc. I reckon I can nail it by the eFests meet!!

Brilliant. 

After reading your posts during the build up to last years festival, you could tell there was a load of excitement tinged with a small amount of trepidation. This year, the trepidation seems to be gone but the excitement level has definitely risen.

Quite how you are gonna fit even more into the 5 days I have no idea, but I'm sure if anyone can manage it, it will be you Ben.
