Will hopefully make it, usually at Mik Artistik on the bandstand at 6:30 and will then attempt to stagger over. In previous years my adult children have persuaded me "don't meet online people in real life", but this year I'll deffo try harder.

Are your adult children from the past?

Online people is how I met MrsCJ ?

I know 5 couples that met through message boards (6 if you include my ex wife and her husband) I wait patiently for my turn ?

I'd like to say that I would get along to it as I have been meaning to the last two (2016 traffic ruined that. 2017 i was spangled at the cider bus in the sun) however I have friends attending their first Glastonbury arriving late that afternoon and they have asked me to show them around the site that evening so I will have to be fluid with my plans. However if we walk by I may have to pop in even if it may be hard to explain to them that I need to say hello to an amazing online community. 

*I have mentioned this site a few times especially when I forward on any info so it shouldn't really be a surprise to them!

One would assume, otherwise they'd have been born today and thus not adults.

I've made it clear to the newbies that I'll be going....plan to herd them into the adjacent area and let them join in or do there own thing nearby. Bought one of them along to the Boomtown meetup and she had a great time, so is keen. Luckily they're all arriving early doors though, so we'll have done a lot of exploring beforehand ?

Aren’t we all from the past?

They are, they are also in the bleedin present and will be saying stuff like "I'll get you a beer dad, got a £20?" Sods.

[Madyaker]

I will try to make it, depending on levels of sobriety and whether or not I've ditched my group as I frequently do at glasto.

[Avalon_Fields]

I’ll be there, enjoyed the previous two, and I’d encourage all to come as it’s fun and friendly. 

Maybe we can do a group photo this time?

Been on the lookout for efestival T-shirt’s here at Bearded Theory....

I say this every year, but I will try to make it. Have walked past a couple of times and chickened out! Just me and the bloke arriving on the Wednesday and will definitely want a good long wander around to see all the changes first so may try to finish up at the R and F. I've met loads of online people before, including my partner and some of my best mates, but there's something about the big numbers all together that seems daunting. Mind you this forum has been a big part of my life for years so it's about time really.

it's actually loads of little groups really, with people chatting with whoever they're chatting with.

Yes that makes sense. And is how it looked from the outside when I passed by!

I know exactly what you mean. I feel nervous to come, even though I am mostly an extrovert, a former actor and have no issue speaking in front of loads of people. It is nervewracking walking into a group for the first time. I’m going to do it though, even if I leave my lot to finish setting up camp, because there’s definitely people I want to say hello to - including you ?

Ah that's nice - totally agree and back at you!

After all these years I still find it a bit daunting, but it's always fine.  As 'the' wife I get plonked on a bench somewhere, (ahem) with or without stickers?  Esteemed husband is always the centre of activity and off he goes.  Most people are trashed and talk utter bollox, but everyone is really welcoming, and it's always a real treat to read this thread when we all get back.  Also it is 'interesting' to put faces to names, always surprises there.  Come, you won't regret it....I promise. ?

Send me a message. Can do a WhatsApp group for us to meet beforehand. We're in CV east so will be on site day before and easily meet up somewhere convenient.

Should there be an eFest meet for the eFest meet thread?  Which may lead to a further eFest meet for the eFest meet for the eFest meet?

Do come, @ravermum

Just look for me/ask someone to point me out and I promise to come and talk to you! I’m never good when I first meet people, but know enough people now to be very happy at the meet and can chaperone you!
