Field Commander Jefferson Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 was there ever a reason given for why those lanes and all the small secret bars disappeared ? A lot of the SE corner now just feels like more stages and none of the quirky secret stuff that made it cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 As an example of memory fuckage this thread in itself can’t be beaten. Saw it yesterday and thought it was a brand new thread only to read through and notice I had already commented on it 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, doesn't that mean the crowd - even for a moderately sized crowd, will spill out over the boardwalk? The space they create for the WH means it'd be on the left side of the field and the majority of people will have to watch from a jaunty angle.

Johnnyseven Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Dredging up an old thread but in my wasted state in (I think) 2008 i'm sure I remember my friend and I going to 2 venues in Trash City called the Twisted Disco and Snake Pit. The Twisted Disco gave you glasses to wear which made everything look like you were inside a kaliedoscope. The Snake Pit had drag acts miming to songs, I remember one swinging on a swing singing Poison by Alice Cooper. Anyone else remember these venues? The same friend also recently recounted a story to me of Glastonbury 2000, she was certain that she had missed coming to see Bowie with me to go see REM instead. I felt bad telling her it couldn't have happened as REM played in 1999 and she most likely went to see them with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snake Pit definitely existed, you needed a tattoo to enter, temp ones were on sale. No idea about the twisted disco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Possible that there were two different Snake Pits existing at different points in Time I guess.

This blurb says it started in 2009 https://brightfx.co.uk/themed/snakepit.php I can't remember the specifics of what was there in which year - but it's worth saying that those first few years of Trash City had a lot of changes year to year, and a few more venues that either only appeared once or would be radically changed between festivals. So it wouldn't be a huge shock if the Snakepit had more than one incarnation. 2007-2009 wasn't the "same every year" routine that the SEC has fallen into more recently.

Aragorn Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I went to somewhere in Shangri-la a few years ago now and there were naked women doing the splits, high kicks the lot. Was quite surreal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spg Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) This was the snakepit (I think) circa 2011 with it's second skin, but was definitely there a good few years before, nuts it's the only photo of mine I can find Edited April 29, 2023 by spg insert word.
