21st Birthday at Glasto

[haylou]

Its my first time at Glasto this year and it will be my 21st birthday on the Saturday night so want to make the most of it while I am there.

Has anyone got any ideas of the best places to celebrate after the acts have finished in to the early hours Sunday morning, and why you think its the best.

Shangri La would be top of my list, It would certainly be a 21st to remember.

I spent my 18th at Glastonbury, just last year. I was definitely one for the park, with its oxygen bar and silent disco!

But I would've ventured to Shangri-La, personally.. If my company would have been more adventurous

There used to be a female who had a Birthday on 24 th June so in 2000 the WBC staff held a birthday party for her - wind forward two years and there was another birthday party for her even although Glastonbury was held over 28 - 30 June so I pointed this out - She claimed ' well it would have been this weekend if they did not change it ' - she tried it again in 2003 { once again the dates did not match up } but I don't think they held a party for her - she was never seen again.

there must be thousands who have a birthday some time over that period so perhaps organising a mass birthday party is one idea.

Most of my birthdays over the last 25 years have been at Glasto and it's a great place to celebrate, it's just like everyone came for you, but that may be because I've had a drink or two

SNAP! It's my Birthday on the Saturday too. Will be my 17th, hate the fact I won't be celebrating my 18th at Glasto next year oh well OT: Shangri La is probably the best place to go or anywhere in that sort of area. Have fun

Showing my nativity here but what is the effect of the oxygen bar?

[the_arsonist]

i'd suggest you get absolutely wrecked!! would love to go to a festival over my birthday but that's unlikely since it's in december

So what day in June were you born ? as the dates dont match up for 1990 and 1992 { and some other years }

Ok, it's on 24th, so this is requiring some judicious use of Outlook and this page http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/history/

g07 - Sunday yay

g08 - Tuesday before

g09 - Friday yay

g10 - Thursday yay

This is also our wedding anniversary date, married on Saturday 24th June in 2006 and there was nothing else to celebrate!

However your 2009 day is wrong as it was a Wednesday, not a Friday. It will fall on Friday this year though, so yay!!!

In 2009 I'd forgotten it was my birthday, was coming up lying on the floor in a smallish tent in the dance village on the Thursday night...and then at just that moment all my mates traipse in from outside and burst into a chorus of Happy Birthday...the other people in the tent looked bemused, i wanted the ground to swallow me up, thinking 'oh no this is terrible, they are ruining all these people's highs'...and then the entire tent joined in...it was absolutely phenomenal, I was covered head to toe in goosepimples and after that initial moment of uneasiness a ridiculously jolly feeling broke out amongst the revellers.

As if that wasn't enough, later on up at stone circle one of my mates grabbed a megaphone off some bloke and launched into a Stevie Wonder version of Happy Birthday and the whole crowd joined in...I didn't know where to look, but it was something i'll never forget!

This year i'll turn 27 at midnight on the Saturday, probably just after the chemical brothers

Splendid, that's a good tale and sounds like this will be another great year
