Must do that this year......

[ohmygod]

So I've been every year bar one since 2007 and there are things I have just never got round or seen. Reading posts on this site makes me feel like a real newbie ( which I probably am compared to most of the posters). This is my list of stuff to try and finally get round to this year.....what's yours

1. To see a set at the Acoustic tent - always see it being set up at the beginning on the first days walk around but never thereafter

2. To see the strummer vile fire at night

3. To go into the underground piano bar - see 1.

4. To have a growler - actually they always look a bit gross - cross that one off

5. To see the Mutoid mechanical vehicle parade thingy

6. To see a set in the Avalon Cafe - actually to go in there generally

7. To have shower

8. To have a sh1t at the flush able porcelain toilets

9. To camp on the farmhouse side of the site - always in pennards, diary, pylon

See Dreadzone

See something in the acoustic tent, and have an ale from the real ale bar (assuming it's still there). Never managed either.

I saw the mutoid parade by accident a couple if years ago - it was mad!

1. To get in the shangri la. It's always too busy so I've gone to Arcadia / the Common

2. Bez's Acid House for a night

3. Go on a walk after the pyramid (I'm going to see Arcade fire and Metallica) and see where I end up.

4.. Don't go at it too hard on the Thursday...... sasha?!!!!!!

5. Find something I didn't know about and spend some quality time there

There are porcelain toilets?

Bez's Acid house

Stumble across something new whilst lost

Spot ME

Goan goat/fish curry

[markrkp]

Mine:

1. Go to more of the smaller stages,
2. Spend more time just chilling out sat around at the Stone Circle, looking at the view, people watching and generally chewing the fat with festy mates. Rather than charging around so much.

Goan goat/fish curry

[swede]

1, Find the stone dragon and underground piano bar.

2, Finally spend a night in the SE corner

3, Watch a dj set in the beat hotel

4, Sunrise at the stone circles

5, Watch something in the big top

[neil_d]

Spend some time in The Park!

I've always chickened out of that one. Don't like the idea of having an upset stomach at a music festival. But this year I might man up and try it!

[found home in 2009]

1. get into the secret area of the rabbit hole

2. go down the helter skelter at Avalon

3. see the Black Keys in a relatively sober state (the last time I saw them I was really drunk and I barely remember it, which I totally regret as they were touring El Camino at the time and I really love that album)

4 find the bin I purchased

5 for me and my robot obsessed girlfriend to control the robotic hand thing

6. pancakes in the beat hotel

Going to the piano bar would be nice too, as would seeing the Doritos Mariachi band if they don't clash with anything. Seeing something in the cabaret tent and getting jerk chicken from the place I get jerk chicken every year is also on the list but the first 6 are the priorities

[jackarmy]

I had them down as a must see but noticed on a Glade poster yesterday that theirs and Dub Pistols were down as DJ sets.

The post was pulled of their FB page quickly though.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I'd like to spend more time in the Green Fields and also take in some cabaret. I keep promising to do this and never get around to it. Oh, and I'd like to do a bit of photography that doesn't just involve taking photos of my mates.

[frostypaw]

Get down near the front for almost everything - no eternally reluctant best mate to hold me back!

[jeffie]

Not drink an entire wine bag in the afternoon

[frostypaw]

I get that too. I *always* want to get closer to the stage than whoever I'm with. That's why if it's a band I'm really into, I usually bob off on my own to see them.

I love this thread! I found the stone dragon the other day whilst walking the site - I was v excited. I've got such a long list of things to do, because I've been a few (3) times before I feel I need to *really* do Pilton this year, the other times I've gone has been mainly about the main stages. I cannot WAIT to discover the hidden gems I've overlooked. I have a list. I endeavour to cross a few off this year

included are:

Hare Krishna at night - seen them during the day but apparently at night they are even more awesome.

The Crows Nest - I have no idea what this is.

Champagne cocktails in Shangri La

Fluffy Rock cafe for breakfast and later for cocktails

Strummerville

Rabbit hole.

and thats just a few. Not planning but yeah, you know what I mean.

So many things. Haven't seen a band at the Acoustic Stage since about '97. Never been to Bez's Acid House. The circus tent has eluded me, though seen plenty of acts in that area. What's the place underneath the crashed plane called? Not been there. Bejeysus, this could go on a while.

Go up the ribbon tower thing. Say it every time and never make it.

[Bradders]

Get into the proper rabbit hole bit.

Watch more DJ sets, in 4 years I've seen only 2 because none of my mates are really into electronic music.

That's about it I think. I've done most the things now, but I'm taking my girlfriend for the first time this year so I feel like I get to go through the excitement of discovering everything all over again!
