The Clearest Blue

Moved the various piles of stuff from the spare bedroom to the living room. Looked at it with concern and concluded I’ll never be able to carry all of it.

No sign of the cider bus yet?

Sat counting down the minutes until The Boss tonight, nice big pre-festival gig!

Well said!

They were a bit more ‘on it’ last year, they turned a few chancers away for the 6:30am bus that had tickets for the 7am. Standards will likely slide as the day goes on though.

As long as the queue at gate A has ran smoothly, I should be setting up in Big Ground, anticipating that first drink from the cider bus.

Holy moly I never knew these flavours existed! I’m now going to have to track them down!!

Has anyone ever seen anywhere on site that does iced coffees? If it’s warm it would be nicer than hot coffee I reckon, and I’m bring hazelnut vodka that would be superb in iced coffee!

I’m the same, rarely sleep past 8 nowadays. But I’m so exhausted at Glastonbury and don’t get to bed until 3/4am that I just zonk out. Before I got the Fresh & Black I’d be up before 9 due to the heat, even in wet years.

Sh*t shirts, shorts & trainers. Boots if it’s wet and a rain coat/poncho.

Pretending to work but really scrolling through these forums. Concentration on any non-Glastonbury topics will be at a minimum.

The black out element is great for my partner who needs it pitch black. The cooling element is great for me as I run hot. Last year we slept in til 10am most days, popped into a mates tent around the same time and it was so humid in there I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in that!

This is the same tent I have, this will be its fourth Glastonbury. Works great at keeping it dark and cool. Only problem is once you open the ‘door’ you’re straight out into the field, there is no porch protection. In case of rain we bought an add-on that acts as a porch area to protect the bedroom from any rain and gives us chance to take off any wet gear before getting inside the tent proper. Not that there will be any rain or mud this year!

Neighbours are airing out their tent in the shared garden, really want to go ask them if it’s Glastonbury prep, but my partner says that’s weird 😂

As good as Gloucester is, if you are after a half way stop between the farm and Liverpool I don’t think Gloucester is the right stop, just worth considering.

Current plan is to watch Editors, then food/drink/piss and squeeze into Pyramid and worm my way as close as possible.

I guess that makes me free for Chvrches again, was so excited about potentially seeing Pulp at Glastonbury though!

Love seeing the Tipis going up, i think of them as such a Glastonbury thing, excitement building!

Dispatch email came on Thursday, tracker never worked for me, woken this morning by a loud knock on the door, postie said ‘here’s your Glastonbury tickets, I’ve signed for them’. Certainly eased the hangover, countdown is on!

Bristol has been bathed in sun for at least a week, maybe two? I’ve not worn anything but shorts since mid May.

Thanks, that’ll please my partner, she loves Arancini!

Ooo where was the arancini stall?

Had the dispatch email this morning, excited now!

Ticket price + coach travel + drinks to bring = £420, then I usually spend £300 whilst on site on mainly food but a few cold drinks as well. Tops out at £720 which I’m comfortable with for the amount of fun I have.

I think it’s Pulp, I’m seeing them the following weekend in London anyway but Pulp at Glastonbury is a different class. Sad to miss Chvrches but I’m all in for the Churnups at this point!
