Site crashed as i was entering payment details at 9.18, on a refresh and entering them again it said my payment had already processed and then conf email came through shortly after. if you got as far as entering payment details and then crashed, check your emails, you never know.
did also try for others on here once i got reg page open again but never got a 2nd chance

i briefly met julien temple at a polish film festival in november and we talked about glasto a bit. it's def back this year. he also said they've been experimenting with projecting stuff onto clouds. text, vis art etc, and want to give it a go this year

would take a lot to drag me from elton at the top of the bill. he's got the tunes & loads of his back catalogue is so much fun to drunkenly belt out.
now i can't stop thinking about rocket man on the pyramid

more weird folk stuff. turn the theatre/circus area into late night folk revelry. like a bartholomew fair revival, banned in 1855 for debauchery. wickermen & animal mask shit. greenfields, but more spectacle & nudes
-
would love to see Algiers high up on WH. i've rinsed their new one. might be my aoty. hopefully they'll get new music out first half of 2019 and tour conveniently around glasto

kneejerk review is that i personally think it stinks. and really wanted it to be...not bad. they haven't made an album i considered bad before. it's boring and really insincere, just like the marketing for it.
you can switch up your style, you can look for other things to do with your sound but for christ sake make me believe you actually care.
just one miserable prick's opinion but it's not for me.
that said, i really like put your money on me

no richard dawson? no jane weaver? thats so bad that its funny. esp richard dawson. peasant is just the most incredible and startling thing i've heard in years
counterpoint: why do i even fucking care about it tho

Loved every moment. Mentioned before in relation to LlH that Au Cinema is mine and my gf's 'song', so when she played it first it was a wonderful moment for the two of us

We saw less music this year too for some reason, spent a lot of time in the Cabaret tent, Frank Sanazi was an unexpected highlight.

Never spent so little time watching bands as we did this year. 'Must sees' fell by the wayside as we succumbed to the gentle lure of other, more immediately therapeutic whims. spent a lot of time getting stuck in making stuff in the craft field. it's a uniquely glastonbury thing to be able to do things like spoon carving, japanese raku ceramics glazing, basket weaving. things I wouldn't make time for in the real world even if i could - but when laid out in front of me, in the place I'm in with mental health currently, they were irresistible.

How did everybody get on?
I had a difficult Friday. Overwhelmed. Had a little cry. Went to the Circus fields, which sorted me right out
Also had a troublesome friday. my girlfriend had a panic attack during radiohead. we went up to the park and watched the end of flaming lips from the hill until she felt more in control.
then i had a really hard time trying to get out of the park after flaming lips, right in midst of the arcadia crowd decamping. i couldn't walk at one point, felt completely frozen to the spot, couldn't look anywhere but down. we eventually got out and spent an hour in green futures just wandering between stages. helped massively but i was on edge all night.
rest of the fest was easy. we never really put ourselves in the thick of crowds, spent a lot of time in green futures. a very different experience for me but great in a different way. my first without drugs & drink. sure, i didn't go for it with complete abandon and i was much more self-conscious when dancing and talking to people - but all that did was just reaffirm how great glasto is, that there's no right way to do it.
would go as far as to say it was my best yet.

get there earlier rather than later imo. that place always feels a bit oversold and you don't wanna end up behind the bleachers, up the hill. big canopy things will destroy your view.
-
think i've just realised what's so hard about this one. it was my first glasto in this particular job, which has me completely by myself for 8 hours a day, 3/5 days a week. so i think it's just too quiet, i'm a bit lonely and stuffing my face with crisps and sugary coke.

eating a ridiculous amount of crap. don't know where that's come from but my diet has been gross since getting back. reckon i'll be fine after a weekend of not moving at all
-
felt much busier this year because of the approximate 20,000 brass band members racing all over the site to play another brass cover of get lucky or some shit. i love a good brass band but fucking hell they seemed to be everywhere
no more brass bands in the vending machine please!!

Yeah. the bit where everyone cries twice daily for no apparent reason.

tend to agree that most of the major crowding issues arise from obstructions to the free flow rather than numbers, and boy howdy there were many of them this year. prams, those massive child caravan things, blanketeers & chair w*nkers.
don't know what's to be done about this on a large scale. i self-manage it due to anxiety and not feeling entitled to anything at glastonbury. if i get a sense there's going to be overcrowding, problems with quick exits from a situation - i generally bin it off.
see pumarosa at williams green on thurs. got down there to find a sea of people camped out on every square metre of space outside the tent. it was an easy decision to avoid and do something else.
it's annoying, yes. but reducing the number of people who get to be there isn't a good thing. there are always going to be folk who feel they're entitled to take up as much space as they like.

we were camped in Baileys, on t'other side of it. had a butchers on Fri morning and it looked pretty cool but i've never seen a film at glastonbury before and i have no intention of ever doing so
-
really struggling at work now. the 92 miles and 15 hours sleep Weds-Sun have just hit me and i can barely keep my eyes open. i'm not ashamed to admit that i have cried twice today for no apparent reason

had a ridiculous amount of ice cream from Shepherd's sheep's milk place, the one just up from the greenpeace Xroads. amazing flavours and just about the creamiest ice cream i've ever had. the lebanese coffee was sensational

biggest melt going. a right-wing op. the co-creator of the character, andrew doyle, is an absolute danger.
