One thing you will miss .....

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm going to miss the bands, especially so cos this years line up was the tits. 

Swigging straight rum in the Pymild pit during the Legend Slot, knowing that - just for an hour or so - you're right on the fulcrum on which entire world spins, the beating heart of human experience.

did you meet through efests then ? or friends before ? 

We all started chatting on a facebook group and then we met up on the Thursday (I think, it could have been the Wednesday) afternoon at Jazz World as it was then! It was only a few years ago I realised that she was lucyginger on here!!

Setting my caravan up in CV East on a Tuesday then walking to the top of the Hill of Death and looking at the site all lit up below me.

The people. The wonderful, friendliest, smiliest, most helpful and considerate people on the planet. 

Hear hear!

Its not all good.  Last year my brother accidentally trod on a baby and we all got threatened by a woman who's other half was - I kid you not - the same shape and size as the fucking Mountain off of Game of Thrones.

Opening up my paper copy clashfinder in the morning, feeling so excited and lucky about all the amazing music for the day ahead!

Will never forget it nearly going off at Foals last year as a couple and small child with little kiddy waggon sprawled out on a rug reading broadsheet couldn't understand why folk who were in drink wanted to be able to stand where the rug was.

They were forward of the PA at The Park.  Surely even Glastonbury attendee's who are by and large an easy going bunch would understand the red lines.

In a strange way, it was a very memorable moment of crowd will against a strangely stubborn sort. Ten minutes later there were beers flying through the air so I consider that a civic duty was performed..

Will miss the lolz of shit like that

You've not done Glastonbury properly if you haven't stood on a baby.

[Kalopsia]

Feeling like I can truly be myself and not having a care in the world for 5 days.

Word of the day

Being at my Spiritual home 

[Obiginnaw]

it's always the little things i miss more, the bands are obviously great but I tend not to 'miss' them as much, i think i'm just content i was there to experience it, it's not a part I yearn to relive compared to seemingly minor things.  but the little reggae van that went round the site last year blaring out will always stay with me, desperately trying to overcome the hangover by being in the nearest bar before 10am, the random conversations with strangers in queues and the buzz around the golden hour with the anticipation for the late night acts

[Jay Pee]

Agree. I even miss packing. Just found this picture of last year's preparations in my pub shed.

The Aldi Cognac into plastic is a defining moment. Taking extra care with weight of packing due to train there and back and a night in Glastonbury town on the Monday.

Hope you're ok? Here if you need anyone to talk to 

And i agree, id take the mud and rain over no Glastonbury at all!! 

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m going to miss having a few ciders (Outside of Glastonbury it has no appeal to me whatsoever).

[Tartan_Glasto]

Arriving and seeing your first sights of signposts etc, anything festival related.

Also, the smell. I know that’s an odd one cause with the toilets etc it’s sometimes not the best but there’s something very specifically Glastonbury about it and it just makes me feel all happy.

[Crazyfool01]

Are you Oxylers? 

[stuartbert two hats]

Oh, and bumping into you lovely lot wandering around the festival. The regulars know who you are and for those I've not bumped into yet, that's the best bit, chatting with new friends in the best place on earth.
