Perparing for glastonbury festival

06 22nd, 2005 Author: Administrator

Well tomorrow I’m going to glastonburgh festival, Ya unfortunately this mean I have one day to tie up all the loose ends. Now I had planned to do a whole load of things to get me perpared including buying clothes a suitable bag and so on. However, work has not permitted this, I did manage to get my hair cut which I am very proud of! It’s so suttle that no-one will actuly notice, that the best time of hair cuts, usually I want to kill the hairdresser but not after this one.

This is my definity list of what you need for glastonbury festival:

  • Beer (Tons of it, every can you can drag to the site will save you about £2, nothing is cheap at glastonbury and this is a basic requirement of the festival, even if you don’t drink beer you can sell it.)

  • A basic tent (nothing complicated if your doing the festival right you will spend very little time here. Some people build strange love shacks, but this to me seem like of a waste of time. Tents will always be little shitty canvas on sticks, just their to keep out the element and to prevent people seeing you doing naughty things. If you can avoid sharing with people, it’s a good idea. Sharing makes all the functions of the tent less effective, if you want to bring someone back you have to organise a rota, it becomes even more cramped, you will want to sleep at different time, your stuff with get mixed up, festival can be hot sweaty and so time you just want to be alone. Couples are the obvious expection)
  • Condoms (best be perpared. Male or Female, even if you don’t use them some one will want to, even if just for water bombs)
  • Drugs (Now I’m not talking about the illegal type everyone varies with them, but painkiller, pro plus, stomach bugs pills and hangover drinks can really make a festival.)
  • Food (Again like beer the festival is long and you will need to eat, buying food at the festival is expensive, however I do recommend it, unlike beer their is a huge different in quality between food you buy their and the smashed up rotten sandwiches you have dragged halfway across the world. Bringing food can save you money, try looking for packaged things that not much can go wrong with, avoid fruit, sandwiches anything that quickly goes off or is fragile. NEVER bring food with the intention of cooking it, it will be crap, for a extra couple of pounds you can have a cooked meal from any culture in the world. Don’t carry your sauce pan and all that rubbish, it’s just not worth it. Use the room to pack 2 more cans of beer and you have saved enough money to eat out.)
  • Baby Wipes (This is the all purpose cleaner, Toilet roll and gunge remover, bring loads, in my opinion toilet roll is optional since I enjoy the mosit feeling these provide between my butt cheeks, but that a personal pefferance.)
  • Bin liners(Bin liners are great and can be used for loads of things, from seating to water proofs. They can be covered into tents, flags, dresses, poncos, inflatable friends anything. Last year I saw someone use them to store their rubbish. I would even go as far as saying the amount of fun you have in a festival is directly proportional to the amount of bin liners you take.)
  • Clothes(This varies, my main advice would be bring lots of pants and socks, at a least one change of everything else, glastonbury being in england at the high of summer can get two extremes, sunny and wet, plus at night it can get very cold, so everything is needed. But I’m a miniuamlist festival goer so my suggestion is bring a good basic very hot outfit, some good thermal underwear and a jumper. People suggest welly’s and mac and lots of other things, I suggest you buy them their if the need arises, you can get a lot of cheap army stuff their. Festival goer can be a very fashion consious (in a crazy festival laid back way) until the weather gets them and the point they are living out a tent sets in, about 6 hours into the festival everyone looks shit. Dress accordingly!.)
