A little "usherette" style tray, and a sh!tload of Skittle Vodka for a euro a shot would fill the gap admirably! :rolleyes:

I think cheesy 80's pop disco is a great theme...anyone for the Chicken Song and Superman and Agadoo? Tinsel wigs galore! Who's bringing the shuttlecocks?

I love the way an idea tends to snowball on here :( . The curtains could easily be overcome by the addtion of those fly catcher type affairs am sure the pound shop can supply and they are lightweight - some gaffer tape and away we go.

I'd rather go cheesy 80s songs that thought they were being taken seriously. Hence Club Tropicana etc. But it's trivialities relative to the big idea.

As for shuttlecocks, how about the efests Olympics instead of World Cup, 3pm Pyramid Field on the Wednesday?

Oh lord..it begins!

Tbh...I wondered if the Efest Footy may (and may still become) something bigger next year...kinda hopefully snowball into a celeb 5 a Side thing maybe?

Does anyone recall the 5 A Side affairs at the Phoenix Festival? Ok so it was incorporated into the festy with an arena, seating and proper commentary and so on...but could not something be pulled off possibly?

BUT...Efest Olympics??? Eeep! Ace!

Perchance an idea that could get started small scale for 2010 but by 2011 be an event to REALLY pull the crowds in the year before the REAL big event???

The Nimbin Mardi Grass in Oz is a good example for silly Olympics...the Bong Throw and Yell, Fastest Spliff Rolling, Adverse Conditions Rolling, Blindfold Rolling, IronMan...;)

Excellent ;)

Shambala last year apparently had binocular-football where all wear binoculars and indulge in many an inadvertent air-kick. I'm sure they had lots of other silly stuff that I can't recall.

I've personally always wanted to set up an orienteering course round Glasto, for the jaw-dropping of newbies and the reaquaintance of regulars. Finish at Cider Bus of course, & probably have to navigate to 'refreshment' areas on the way. Is orienteering at all scouty? What sports are scouty?

Bloody hell - I say this:

We got invited to join a tunnel party as well at one point when walking through, it would have been a great idea if we weren't striding purposefully through on the way to do something (haven't a clue what it was now...). Definitely tunnel party next year! :D

Bloody hell - I say this:

then am away for a few days and come back on here to all this?? Funny what happens from a minor throwaway comment!!

Hoping this doesn't all actually happen though, as the tunnel is genuinely helpful for avoiding the crowds - with all this sudden madness it's going to be as bad as the railway track!!! :D

And Lucy - careful!! Remember how stressed you were this year from feeling you'd taken on too much? :)

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
