The after glasto feeling

[LittlemissC]

I get the post-Glasto blues and i find the best way to cure it is to get on a train and go to a city that you've never been to before and have no connections with. Walk into a remote part of the city at night time and commit a murder (when no one's looking, obviously). Hide the body where it won't be found for a while and then get on a train and go back home. The murder will never be traced back to you and you'll feel great...or maybe that's just me. If you're more of a rape kinda person, so be it. Sicko!

Was there really any need?

I get home on the Monday, have a shower, get a takeaway curry then head to bed for a long sleep. Then stay in bed most of Tuesday and back to work on Wednesday.

It's a horrible feeling getting home but it great coming on here and talking about the best/worst/funniest bits of the fest.

True post-festival nightmare story, but it relates to All Tomorrows Parties, not Glastonbury:

I did a pill on the Saturday night - didn't agree with me at all: 36 hours of paranoid hell. Not sure what it was, but it was some sort of synthesised crap. Thankfully, ATP is held in a holiday camp and you stay in chalets, so I was able to hide in our front room and watch the telly whilst being looked after by my chalet-mates.

The following Wednesday, I was at work feeling reasonably well recovered, when I had to do an impromptu presentation to a largish group of managers. Formal stuff: everyone sitting in a big office while I stood up and jabbered. Half way through, I was suddenly and completely pole-axed by a repeat effect of the pill, just as strong as it had been at the weekend. I had to excuse myself twice and go out and get some water. I got through it, living off adrenaline and playing the 'hard bastard who wont let a bit of flu keep him away from work' card, but looking back it was one of my worst drugs nightmares come true.

Top Tip: make sure your post-Glasto suicide week plans don't include making any business presenations.

Last year I spent 45 minutes in the shower basking under the clean water, watched the TV highlights to relive it all and then slept until 6 o'clock the following evening

That said after I woke up I felt a wave of depression come over me...

[sparkythetortoise]

Sicko!

[starknaked]

just looking at the title off this topic made me sad

[Levitz]

Get home have a shower and a sleep, maybe go out for an early dinner...come home, camping chair out in front of the telly, beer in hand and watch the highlights....

[ian the worm]

massive smile on my face for at least 10 days afterwards. really become a glasto-bore to the family and collegues. don't have a care in the world.

first day back in the office i set the countdown time-left timer for the following glasto. hmm, not looking forward to the rollover year.

ps, I recon Elvis.

Always planned my other holidays for a week or two after, pack the intervening time with shifts (I work in a bar)and talk to my mates who couldn't come to glastonbury but who are coming on holiday. That and a few pints a few nights later and I feel right as rain. That Monday night though shower as soon as I get back, bloody mary and some shite tv.

Not a celebrity but I'm gonna say margaret thatcher

[ggoon]

SHOWER....first and foremost. Then a 6 hr round-trip to get the kids from wales.

Get home and BED!

Then rest of the week basking in the luxury of having clean water, watching highlights and endless talking about it all

Back in 09 on the monday when i got back for some reason couldnt relax and felt uncomfitable so got changed and was out again within 30 mins. Decided to go to shops for fags and milkshake i think but found is so wierd to have space and times when i could see no one else took me about 3 days to get used to it again lol anyone else had these feeling or am i just wierd???

[Levitz]

Get home and park camping chair in front of TV,if it still works (the chair,not TV) relax with some beer and watch highlights on i player.

worked so far,then have a very very long kip.

[Wanderlei]

It's weird how you do get that feeling though, innit? It's like you're being dumped by the festival every year.

[Spindles]

What famous celeb is gonna die this year do you reckon?

[The Nal]

I usually go home knackered and happy.

[camperman]

I get home still buzzing from the whole festival, and thank god for the bbc i player and Utube to keep it going untill i use up a months download in a week . After that theres pics and vids to sort through. The worst part for me is not sleeping well without that background noise {i live on exmoor no man made sounds for miles}. Think i need to record some this year, complete with longdrop doors banging, Maybe that will help. living only 30 miles from worthy fm means i can go walk round, standing at the stone circle looking down on the empty site closing my eyes and its back in an instant. BLISS.

My Glasto Comedown usually lasts about 3 months!! I get a mixture of elation and depression, but the worst bit is adjusting to being back indoors.

Its weird isnt it, you spend 5 days in a field and completely forget what its like to live in a building. The worst bits for me are remembering to flush the loo at home, and having to deal with media. I mean, you get a bit of news from the daily paper at glasto, but then when you're back to reality its all media media media!!

The best thing to do is make sure you dont have to cook Monday night, have a lovely long shower to get clean, then have a takeaway, then have a bath and go to bed.

Last year was quite nice as I had recently moved house, my new house has quite a large wooded area out the back so I just sat out there for a while. My kitchen was too frightening and my lounge was too dark!!

[Douzeper]

Get home, feel sorry for myself, wallow(sp?) in self pity. Then look forward to Solfest in August

[jeffie]

I'm hoping for David Cameron.

Last year soemone in my camp started a 'Les Dennis is dead' rumour, which we then heard repeated the next day further up the campsite. Hilarious.
