Flags for Glasto 2009

[Gem star]

Hi all,

I'm really sorry if this flag has already been meantioned; but I'm in work and haven't got time to read all 16 pages! lol

The flag that I can remember is the "Text Me" flag I think it has been there for a couple of years? Its orange and it has "Text Me .. (and a number)"

My mates and I text it a couple of times, cant remember what we said (wrecked).

I was just wondering, who receives the text's?

Is it actually the person carrying the flag?

Or the persons mate; who couldnt make it to Glasto?

Or does the person leave the mobile in the house and then read them when he'she gets back?

As you an tell, I'm intrigued by this flag!

If its there this year, I might go & ask the person carrying it!

Gx

you holding out for blue as well?

Damn, you've sussed my "Anthony Costa is my favourite member of Blue, Simon, Duncan and Lee - You suck!" idea..

Worryingly I didn't have to look up these names, I just knew them.

i must admit I clicked on this thread as something of a flag skeptic but I'm very impressed by the work put in by everyone

some folk on here are genuinely talented - who'd have though it and i'm looking forward to trying to spot all your flags dotted around the site

i don't have an artistic bone in my body, and im firmly in the camp who thinks national flags are a bit naff at festivals, so i wont have a marker for my tent. just gonna have to try and remember where the hell it is

Me and my sis have been doing ours for our tent and we have painted a cozy coupe on one with "Cozy Campe" written on it and a smaller one with the road sign for cows....

Maybe before too long, I'll get around to putting some photos in. Or even video

Same flags as every year...

See them at the meets...and you will find the Efest crew standing drinking cider nearby!

Oh look there's Neil.

OK, Norainplease has completed The flag, look out for this (and the goal posts tc ) to see where the match will be, and then after where we are camped

yeah, if you want to use pens, get the fabric ones from skyblueleisure. cant remember the brand from the top of my head.

[halvin]

Any permanent markers work fine.

gotta say i am a fan of flags, I think they're so useful for finding your tent , helps me no end! without it id just be walking round in circles, so many tents and gazebos, all look the same, flags help to make yours stand out - or if you camp near someone with a distinctive flag can also be useful as a 'marker'

as to people walking round carrying them, fair enough if you want to - i see nothing wrong with it, and i quite like seeing flags being waved around in amongst the crowd tbh

[markeee]

Don't just tease us, show us some pics!

In the spirit of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," here's my flag:

Until it rains, you mean?

[norainplease]

aaw, dont say that. my flag has been done by all pen

[ampersand]

You'll be okay if they were fabric paint pens? Just make sure you iron it with a hot iron to fix it - put an old sheet over the flag first though or the flag will melt!!

[norainplease]

yeah they are, but im a worrier

how did you do your lettering btw? changing my flag idea. was gonna do art attack, but doing something else. which only needs one colour, so cheaper
