Quote to sum up your approach to this year's Glasto?

[budvar]

"I have a dream..."

(while playing "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys on the stereo!)

[cejx]

Tickets?? You have the tickets right? No - you've got the f**king tickets?? Shit - put them somewhere safe then!! Our approach usually starts off with a tense row!

[You Stay Classy...]

'There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.'

And a quote for the way home

'You drive. You drive. I think there's something wrong with me.'

Both from Fear and Loathing

"If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor!"

[Ponyegg]

When we finally bring starting packing the van with all of our gear....

"We're gonna need a bigger boat"

When we get to Monday morning I'll be blasting out this classic Northern Soul tune from my tent as we pack up:

[Greenish]

you're on the right road if you're happy when you're lost

It was like that in 2009 for us. Lost the tickets the night before we left. Looked all around the house frantically. Rang up my mum who was out with her friends to ask where they are- even though she wasn't in the house.

Turns out that they just slipped behind the radiator.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

'It's better to burn up than fade away'.

[BlackHole2006]

Bloody hell I would have exploded with fear

[michael eavis' beard]

and hopefully not...

"Long as I remember the rain been coming down

Clouds of mystery falling confusion on the ground

Good men through the ages trying to find a sun

And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain"

"I haven't felt tha good since Archie Gemmil scored against Holland in 1978!"

[Ron Burgundy]

It's so damn hot, milk was a bad choice.

Change down man. Find your neutral space. You've got a rush. It'll pass. Be seated.

"Raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer, I think he was our only decent teacher.

Getting older makes it harder to remember. We are our only saviours.

We're gonna build something, this summer"

[cdm22]

"Stop being a dick and get in the car otherwise i'm leaving you here"

Pretty much covers it!

[TwistedReligion]

"Raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer, I think he was our only decent teacher.

'you know that feeling when you can't sleep on Christmas Eve? You've got 5 days of this coming up, get ready not to sleep you wacky bastard!' - Bobs - eFestivals.

[CitizenErased]

"Alright, we're just gonna wing it, like we always do." - Owen Wilson, Shanghai Noon

Between 6:30 - 7:10

Then I'd put Buck Rogers on endless repeat until he "gets it". :angry:

[Adam_Libertine]

"All the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see!...Behind us lay everything we had previously known about life, and life on the road. We had finally found the magic land at the end of the road and we never dreamed the extent of the magic...Somewhere along the line I knew there'd be girls, visions, everything; somewhere along the line the pearl would be handed to me...Every now and then a clear harmonic cry gave new suggestions of a tune that would someday be the only tune in the world and would raise men's souls to joy...The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great, that I thought I was in a dream...And for just a moment I had reached the point of ecstasy that I always wanted to reach"

(On the Road, Jack Kerouac...various quotes)

Also from On The Road:

'They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

I also relentlessly listen to this track / watch this film in the run up:

"This is the most outrageous spectacle I have ever witnessed, ever"
