Plans for V 2009

[Steako]

Not going to change anything for next year. But defo not buying a timetable till i get a V bag from inside. Messed up a few acts for me.

[jonesy74]

to get in more of a knot than i was this year (a very hard task...)

[doobie ninja]

Not to park in the same car park as last year!! (think it was west)

We were right at the front of the car park....so that meant last out. I got to my car at 11:00am and got out of the car park at 3:30pm!!

Also not going to bother buying an early bird entry pass.

* Leave the Mrs at home

* Not take too much food as I never eat it, lol

* Get there at 7am and persuade the girl security guards to let us in early again

* Only put up my tent

* Take my shirt of...I still have "white t-shirt" tan marks!!

* Drink more

* Watch more smaller bands

[bekimo]

Do not leave everything to the last minute so that ( a ) I end up in Asda at 3.30am buying crap, thus leaving me absolutely knackered for the day ahead and forced to have an early night and ( b ) I do not use all of my phone battery sorting the troops out that have yet to leave.

Do not take posh whinging twats who would have been much happier in a campsite far far away ( or I would have been anyway )! They drank all our beer and smoked all our weed, stole our chairs and tomato ketchup, used our piss pot, and then had the absolute audacity to COMPLAIN about our noise levels when they were trying to sleep! f**kos.

I would still go on the Thursday, but I would only take tents for me and people who I knew would appreciate it and not afore mentioned posh whinging twats. I would take less stuff as OMG we left so much CRAP there!! I would try and watch more bands as didn't see much at all! Too much fun to be had playing in the mud!

Olivers plans for V2009 are as follows:

• Buy my tickets from ticketmaster nice and early and get an early bird ticket

• Go with a different group of people who arent boring!

• Buy a bigger tent so if it rains we all have some where to go

• Not pack as much!

• Not bother taking much food, im gonna pay the money and buy it!

• Camp in a more lively field (with the rest of the efest crowd)

• Meet more people! I never made any new friends last year

Thats all i can think of atm, i'll update it when i think of more

I shall vow to:

Bring less food (chuck so much away)

Drink more of own beer

Don't buy tokens

Buy comfy walking boots (oh actually already done that one)

Will organise Efest camp again as was bloody fantastic last year as meet loads of lovely peeps :0)

come rain or shine I will alway have fun can't wait :0)

[indie-rocknroll]

at V 09 i'm going to stick to the 4pm drinking rule, so i dont miss the evening acts again!

and i want an airbed inflater, mine took 2 hrs to blow up.

otherwise i was very organised at V 08, having learnt the lessons from V 07.

might get a bigger tent, not too bothered though.

[indie-rocknroll]

Yeah I also forgot to mention, my new year's resolution is not to be a social drug user and therefore this year's V will be my first experience at a festival drug free from being the age of 9 (slight exageration), I think it may be my first straight headed festival. Yaaaay

[Chapcharlie]

• Go with my mates, or on my own - don't take the g/f and her friends!

• Take an extra bottle of Southern Comfort as 1 clearly wasnt enough.

• Get there on Thursday

• Party into the small hours

  Apart from that it was all good

Did think about an extra one, but the 2 litre bottle of Midori/Grenadine/Vodka shooters was a decent alternative - and makes it look like you're vomiting blood when you puke! (or maybe I was??? )

[xxtinkerbellxx]

1) Not get so drunk on the first night and be incapacitated for the rest of the weekend.

2) Not drink a litre of straight vodka again, throwing up in the portaloos isnt a nice experience!

3) Take food with me so i dont have to pay £50 for a bacon sandwich lol

4) Not buy the band times from the carpark again!

[Miss_Chi-Chi]

I will be more sociable this year. With you lot, I mean.

[Angelis]

dont bother they're all jerks

Aha!!! This is why forward thinking is required.

You just reminded me that mine got ill last year, so I left it to the vultures in a great tent graveyard in darkest Staffordshire.

Argos special for me this year.

Just want to say a big hello to the group that set up next to my tent on the green campsite (i was the one that fed you)

Just to update, went to go camping at the weekend and invested in a new airbed and a spork (every camper should have one)
