Where's Ben?

So after over a 1000 posts on this forum in the lead up to his first ever Glastonbury all is very quiet on the bennyhanna front.

 

Always enjoy his posts and was eagerly awaiting to hear who he saw, what he enjoyed most, what he ate etc etc.

His enthusiasm in the lead up reminded me of myself before my first in 95 and am hoping he gets back on here soon to fill us in on his adventures.

For a moment I thought you were going to be the girl that two of my group asking where our friend Ben had gone during Four Tet on Genosys thinking you were his fiancé.

If you're out there, we're sorry and thanks for laughing it off. We could see her face on you, we were in a...weird place.

Would love to see Ben back on here, he's probably on the biggest comedown of all time.

I was very please to meet him on the Weds. After Hot Chip on Friday I was keeping an eye out for him as the crowd dispersed, would've loved to see him, grinning his box off after a brilliant first proper day at Glastonbury.

He was so excited at the Wednesday meet, his enthusiasm is amazing.

I'm expecting a 2,000 word intro, then the full monty at the very least.

Gnom.

Amended. I got in touch with Ben or heard from others who were with him, and he always seemed to be 8-15 rows from the front, maxing out the festival.

Benissimo, it was good to meet you at the NFRNFC meet.

I think he, single handedly, dragged the mood of these boards up!

 

'Oh boo florence', 'Oh boo emily' etc...

 

But no, he was all like... 'CANT WAIT', 'Where's this? Where's that', almost certainly made me remember what i was like before my first Glastonbury, and made me realise how lucky I was to be able to go to every one since i've been attending.

 

And yes, by talking in the past tense, i do realise it sounds like i'm talking as if he's passed away, but in all seriousness, I hope he's had an absolute blast, and i'm quite looking forward to reading his stories!

Hi, got a text from Ben today. He's had an awesome time and I personally think he's processing and back to the "real" world now. Reckon he'll be back to regale us. 

 

Was lovely to meet you too Aragorn and you missed out on a lovely brandy hot chocolate.

Dear All

 

I am not dead.

 

I am not a Glastonbury virgin.

 

I am writing.

 

There is a lot to write.

 

I am at work.

 

I will post the epistle at the earliest possible opportunity.

 

I have one thing to say, as a preface.

 

Oh My F***ing God.

 

Ben

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
