Name the one thing...

Mine would be the point when the tent has been erected and you sit down in your chair, crack open your first beer, spark up, and hear the roar/cheer/whooping that can only be described as a 'mexican wave of sound' travelling accross the site, as peoples excitement reaches fever pitch!!!

Whats yours?

Getting there first thing Wednesday, set up the van - and having a nice chill-out.

Getting in through the huge gates (thats when i first realise that its finally here!), finding a pitch, getting the tent set up and cider'ing up!!!

Hairs on the back of my neck already starting to stand....

Seeing Lily Stands out a mile for me

staring at the crazy lights

[Detective McNulty]

Getting through the gates and realising i am not going to be spending the night in a cell.

I would also agree with the opening post. Nothing like the relieft of getting everything sorted and beginning the festivities.

[jamseyboy]

The freedomtastic silliness inducing mind blowing wonderment of it all that makes a 45 year old man forget his worries and act like he did when he was 18........as Mr Burns would say "Excellent!".

Smiley face!

I'm looking forward to the whole thing, but this year I'm going with my brother who's never been before so looking forward to Wednesday night and taking him to the stone circle so he can see the whole festival lit up from there. Also introducing him to the Brothers bar.

Just taking in the enormity of the place and marvelling as we walk over to our chosen spot with all our gear, safe in the knowledge that an incomparable 5 days await. Every year the size of the place hits me and the thought of that many friendly people all up for the best time. Bring it on

Supping bare pear cider at jazz world in the sun on wednesday afternoon safe in the knowledge of what is about to take place!

[chief_scrutter]

i'm going with a housemate who's never been before. looking forward to the wednesday afternoon, introducing him to the site which will mostly be done with cider in hand, then meeting up with my lil bro, and then ending up at the stone circle as it gets dark. ace. maybe finding a rave in a tent for the evening if we're lucky haha

Looking forward to my tradition of dropping to my knees & kissing the ground upon entering the site on the Wednesday morning.

Also the spontaneous Mexican cheer that erupts when people realise where they are

[mynameisearl]

The thing I think I'm looking forward to most may be one of the last things at the festival (music wise), when Blur play The Universal.

Just close your eyes and imagine it people.

[dunc55]

cant wait to get through the gate again.
