Some questions from a newbie

[yuvaltheval]

Hey everybody, I'm 18 from israel, and it's my first time in Glasto, or in any festival. I go to Glasto to see Arctic, but I'm sure the entire festival will be fun. I have some questions though:

1. Well, about the pee- seriously, how the hell do you pee when you want to see a concert? I mean, I'm going to be in the pyramid stage in friday from about 4 PM, because I want to take a good spot and also watch The Vaccines and Dizzee. But there are SO MANY people in the crowd, how am I supposed to pee?

2. Ignoring the pee situation, do you think that about 4 PM is early enough to start making our way forward so that in Arctic's show we'll be preety close to the stage?

That's all

there are urinals about 5 minutes walk away from anywhere you might be in the crowd. The crowd is not so tightly packed that you cant return to your spot.

You will be able to get down the front for the arctics after dizzee rascal finishes, dont worry

[nightcrawler13]

ha, you'll have no issues bud

as longas you have friends at the stage with you, you can go and come back and your spot will still be there, just say "excuse me" and squeeze through

most people clear out between bands, you may not be able to be at the front barrier (though I think you probably could) but you'll be RIGHT at the front

Just get there for the end of Dizzee Rascal, there's so much to see that the crowd churn is really high.

Fun fact pop pickers...

Got off the train at Castle Cary in '97 bout 5pm on the Thursday waiting for the bus, two women just squatted and let it all go in the queue.

As the train pulled away the driver leaned out the cab and roared "Fuck you crusties!"

[yellowsnow]

There are urinals for men, but there is no toilets just for women... thus women like that squat and piss

I don't know about Glastonbury as this is my first one, but at Latitude they had single sex toilets in the main arena so the ladies queues where quite quick if you just wanted to wee.

Please don't just do feral toileting! The Green Police will be after you because polluting the stream can cause serious licence problems for the festival and do bad things to the wildlife.

There are masses of loos, including the shee-pee ones for women.

Yuval - don't worry - it'll all work out fine when you get there. Suddenly the problems will melt away as you realise the fantastic atmosphere and the friendliness of the people. Shalom.

[Glastonlocal]

By the pyramid there are loads of urinals bud, wouldn't worry about it. You can always find your way back to your mates by navigating towards the nearest flag.

Getting there at 4pm for the headliner is a bit keen. You can turn up for dizzee and head forward when he finishes.

one of my pet hates is kicking over someones "cider" cup on the floor, or trudging through a swamp that is 50 peoples piss. (not to mention when people decide to throw them).

Please.. Dont do it. take a 5 minute walk to the toilets. We're human beings people...

[GlastoSimon]

The trick is getting to the Pyramid at the end of the act that's on before whichever one you want to see. Make your move at the end of the set! If you want to see Vaccines - Dizzee - Arctics that's a bonus! It's much easier than at a regular gig

[russycarps]

Good point Nightcrawler.....not that I advocate weeing all over the place obviously.

But blokes are forever weeing in public....what's the difference when women do it ?

Serious question folks.

[**claire**]

Yes, quite. I don't like to see anyone's wee face, male or female. I'd rather EVERYONE just went to the toilets!

[Kizzie]

I agree, there is no difference, but that photo specifically, the women are FACING the queue! I reckon even the most scummy of men would have the decency to turn their backs and pee up against that fence!

[Wooderson]

I guess if youre good at it/with experience *cough* Kizz! *cough* the chances of you getting it on yourself is reduced. Those two lasses in the above photos look like vets so theres no issue.

Only real difference is that fellas can see/should be able to aim. Granted this is a moot point at times.

[russycarps]

But don't blokes turn their backs to shield there private bits....as a rule.

If those women were facing the other way, nothing would be shielded.

So, surely it's just a question of having bits in different places rather than decency....if you see what I mean.
