I've got a Wednesday-Tuesday stay in the Netherlands for the Lowlands festival (travel price persuaded us to stay an extra night in cheap accomodation, ignoring spending money it works out to be the same price as Wednesday-Monday), followed by a Wednesday-Wednesday stay working at Reading festival.

Excited, but slightly nervous about my future ability to walk. Also, if the tickets I originally bought for Reading arrive late I'm going to have a bitch of a time trying to get them to the friend of a friend I've sold them to.

could you not take them with you and meet your mate outside the entrance?

I wanted to, but I won't be spending the Tuesday anywhere near my house. So basically if they don't arrive by 18th I'm relying on one of four (lovely, and I'm not being sarcastic here) morons to do the job for me :angry:

[beLIEveR]

Last year I didn't have it that long before the festival.

I don't need a ticket as I'm staff, hence I'm selling my own ticket :angry:

Are you working as a CAT for hotbox events?

Green Messenger.

I was thinking about being a CAT because the job seems like so much more fun, but this is the only way I get to see all the bands.

[beLIEveR]

Green Messengers work Thursday, Monday, and Tuesday, the big catch being that it's a non-negotiable 7am start on Monday.

The deal is that those of us who don't turn up for the induction aren't allowed to work Thursday (because we won't have had the induction), and therefore have to do a shift during the bands. So as long as we keep our side of the bargain, they keep theirs.

I get the train from Reading - Didcot Parkway and back again each day so get a great view of the Reading site and yep they have started work on it - will try to remember to get some pics tomorrow...but they had completed/had the flat base of the main stage in place and all the surrounding green portocabins were up in place as well

Ok, I haven't done this once yet so he's my little release.

I actually can't believe it's so close now! It felt like so far away, yet suddenly it's just around the corner! But yeah, even though there's hardly any bands worth seeing this year I cannot wait one bit!

Ok. Thank you.

I took this photo today while on the train...the weather was pretty shitty around this way today and also it was a high speed train so the quality is not all that great..but can see the portocabins and the base of the main stage....when I came back on the train this evening what looked to be the framework of the sound/light desk for the main stage had gone up
