Wristbands

[4AssedMonkey]

I'm slightly bemused by this. I know I was at Glastonbury. I remember it and no-one has ever accused me of not being there or asked me to prove it. So why would I want a piece of filth encrusted fabric permanently attached to my wrist? OK, you can wash it when you get washed, but still, it's been with you at Glasto for 5 days so is probably riddled with all kinds of sweat and cowshit.

Cut mine off the day after I got home and binned it.

I keep my wristbands on for a few weeks but take them off and keep them on my car keyring.

When ever I see someone with a load of wristbands on it always smacks of 'ooo look at me and how cool I am because I went to all these festivals', then again it could be something to do with a former 'acquaintance' of mine was exactly like that and it made me realise what a pretentious kn0b he was

I have been to every Glastonbury festival since 85. As soon as I get home it gets cut off and lobbed in a box with the rest of my gig and festival gubbins.

Dont really see the point of keeping em on to be honest

the glasto 09 hospitality band is proper festival bling - being gold n all. Having an armful of wristbands does get you noticed but is usually followed by 'cheeky git'. Decided to cut mine off and let my wrist be free.

I have been wondering, what was it like in hospitality while us plebs were outside trying to get round the area with our betters in?

Didn;t actually camp in hospitality as I use the disabled camp site, far more superior to the hospitality campsite The backstage area just has a bar area, same price as outside, with more seating etc... no food stalls or anything special.

As for wristbands smelling... Mine get washed in the shower with me every morning & always get a spray of whatever smelly I choose for that day...

Why does it bother you so much Dan?

[Field Commander Jefferson]

built back up to two glasto ones now

[rachbon]

do you keep your socks on in the shower as well to give them a wash?

And as for whoever made the jewelery comment, a lot jewelery is designed to be worn all the time, wristbands for a 5 day festival aren't and as someone already said whenever I see it I just think people are trying to show off by how many festivals they've been to.

And the comments about it dragging in your food, surely you see that as not the nicest of things? I'm all for the theory that we need some bacteria and am far from a clean freak (my gf will verify that) but a sweaty dirty band doesn't strike me as the ideal condiment!

[DreadlockDan]

they don't drag through your food if you cut the long bit off.

maybe some people do like them so that they can show off. the same way as people wear fashionable or expensive clothes to show off. i just keep my wristbands on because i like them, i wear long sleeves most of the time anyway so people don't even see them. i keep them on for myself and no one else.

[Paul ™]

I like them on for the summer as they are a good conversation starter when at other festivals

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I know people who cut them off as soon as they get back home! - sacrilege!.
