Bad Omen?

We had torrential rain and electrical storms all night in Nottingham. Throughout the night we had been constantly woken by thunder and the noise of the water hitting the windows, me and my girlfriend had been saying how it felt like being at Glasto.

As the rain continued to beat down, at 9.00am the doorbell rang. I wondered who on Earth it could be. Surely even the jehova's witnesses would be taking the day off in this weather.

It was my Glasto tickets..

I keep looking for signs, its getting ridiculous. I went to a folk festival for work yesterday, the weather was glorious. The organiser said they'd had great weather the first two years (ok, thats 07 and 08, I'm thinking in my head), awful weather last year (ok, 09) and now it was the best ever.

Rather than hear a word anyone was saying, I sat there trying to work out how all that could correlate to the weather patterns for Glasto. I need help!

Last year, having got all prepared, I went into Liverpool on Tuesday in a brilliant mood, picking up last minute bits. It started to rain, torrentially. I got in the house, called my mother, and cried!

    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀
