General excitement thread

I don't know about anyone else, but the combination of reading the weather thread slightly obsessively and being stuck at work for another two days has somewhat taken the Glastonbury excitement out of me at the minute... So, I'm trying to fill my head with things that give me that Glastonbury tingle of excitement to to get me back into the spirit of things!

First thing I can think of is the sheer wonder of having just entered the site after queueing etc and thinking, "Christ, finally, we're here! Wahey!".

Anyone else?! ....bands you can't wait to see, places, smells, photo's, whatever!

This does the trick too...

I still have the rest of today, all day Monday and Tuesday moring at work! Been making loads of silly mistakes today as well - I am going to blame that on Glastonbury excitment (when in actual fact it may just be me being a bit crap).

I can't wait for hat moment my tent is up I am unpacked and sat in the glorious sunshine (please?) with a can in my hand, and can breath a sigh of relief - ahh!

After a crazily busy few months and having spent the last 72 hours locked in my house throwing up everywhere and going to the toilet every 10 minutes, I have finally realised that Glastonbury is less than a week away. The last few days before I leave is going to be crazy as I haven't had a chance to do any shopping or anything yet. However, the thought that I am going to the greatest place in the world in four days time is very good indeed.

I am very very excited, i have just sorted out the clothes I'm taking, footwear, favourite hoody that i took last year, hat, woolly hat for night time etc, all whilst happily knocking back a few ciders. All of this has well and truly got me in the mood! Sod the miserable weather thread (which put me on a downer earlier) we're all gonna be bimbling about in a happy fuzzy loved up state at Glasto in 5 days time! Happy happy happy days :D

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • 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.
