- MX_OnD0
Aye.
Never been.
Nae idea if it's good.
Mebbe's Ah'd go again, but ah've nivvir been so Ah dinnae ken aboot "again" ken?
- paraselene0
hence the parentheses, honey.
the thing is, i've got loads of free entries and a free spot at the secure campground (perhaps the only perk of being a charity worker). the strokes are headlining so i'm thinking of going.

i've heard you an't hear anything, it gets really packed and rain is a distinct possibility
- paraselene0
hm. sounds like glasto. i'll have to give it some thought.

loads of free entries hmm? would it be unseemly to beg? love you long time!

Went to the first one when I was 15, saw Rage Against the machine play Killing in the name of with Cypress Hill - Shit Hot!!!
Went again a few years later and nearly killed myself with a heady mix of drink. drugs and sunshine. Yes sunshine, got fucking heatstroke.
Still good fun though.
- MX_OnD0
Aye free tickets..... nooo yer spickin' scots lassie, Ah thocht ye'd nivvir learn!
- skt0
Oh yeah, I nearly hit Mark Lammar in the head with a lighter at the first one when he came on stage to announce Cypress Hill would be late.

Yes sunshine, got fucking heatstroke.

(Feb 10 05, 04:22)Heatstroke??? Mare like ye hud a wee stroke in the heat ya durty fucken hoooooor!
- paraselene0
well, vespa. that's kinda what i was thinking. mebbe get together some kids, rent a car, find a tent and head up to scotland for a week or so in july. go to the festival and then bum around glasgow and edinburgh for a couple of days.
the big catch:
ever heard of workers' beer co? you work a six-hour shift every day of the festival and your wages go to the charity you're signed up with. but you get entries and camping for free.
still interested?

(Feb 10 05, 04:23)Ha ha, not that far from the truth. I did blag a hand job out the back of the pot noodle van!!

Hey skt, was at that one myself - it was the very first one! Cypress Hill turned up late and RATM gave them some of their slot.
Paraselene, last time I went was last year and it's frickin marvellous! But if you're going to camp, get there early and don't get a spot at the edge of a pitch or you'll get 50 pissed Scottish people pissing on your tent.
- Blofeldt0
fucking class skt. What flavour was the pleasure?
- paraselene0
thanks, guys. i think i'll try and swing it. the camping thing is already sorted -- through workers' beer.
