Glastonbury 05

ne1 here used to go to a festival called campus or as it later got changed to salamander

Mine came yesterday too!!!! whoop whoop. the best piece of paper i ever got.

The excitement has really set in now.

Aryth, I'll keep you posted on North West spinners meeting at keele... Do you fancy coming to manchester on Sunday... for a spin and a discourse on all things glasto...

i was going to come over on Sunday but i'm getting a new car.... well i say new i'm really having my mum's and part x-ing mine for her new one but all in all its anew car for me.
If i manage to get sorted early enough then i'll come across but its not looking to good at the mo. If not just give me a time for Keele and we'll be there.

i'll PM you and wildchild my number too.

ok - i've been avoiding reading this thread as it will make me jealous. but i've just found out my boyfriend has won tickets through the guardian so we're coming. i'm so excited. i've been trying not to be jealous of people going but now i can...can somebody pm me any plans that have been made so i can meet up with you guys......yeah, i'm so excited and i just can't hide it no no no no no

cool! you lucky lucky thing

got your ID sorted out?

Last day for guaranteed Citizen card applications is today if you haven't

do they take photo driving license?

can someone tell me what id you need.

driving licence is cool!

What about your boyfriend?

Passport/Drivers Licence or Citizen card is all they'll take.

Driving liscence should be grand its all i'm taking like!!!!!

that's ok then - got passports and driving license. prob best to take passport as my address isn't the same on my driving license. not worth the risk

so what's the plan for people meeting up??

Don't really think they'll be that bothered by the address as those citizen cards don't even have it on, like you say though best to be on the safe side.

As for meeting up from what i can gather we're going to camp on Pennards hill, someone hopefully is going to make some form of flag and everyone is getting there as early as possible on Wednesday.

Oh and this is to everyone there is a band playing on the thursday night in the Avalon cafe called 3 daft monkeys they are a really good nu-folk type band and they want as many people to go as possible. I feel that a gang of people waving poi about like crazy people is a good enough audiance for anyone so yeah that is now also a part of the plan!!!

I just wanted to say, nope I am not attending, but one of my favoritest bands is playing on the 25th on the Dance stage and the 26th on the World/Jazz stage, so I thought I give a heads up

Oojami !!!!!

And if there are bellydancers in the house, or if there are those who really like Turkish break-beats this is the band to check out.
You *will not* regret it. They are better live than on cd even.

(Saw them last night, couldn't stop dancing, and now today..I can't start moving )

morning...


just found out there will be fun and silly workshops going on outside the te POOKa toys stall, including such things as

paint your wellies
gumboot dancing
poi(beginners)
staff(beginners)
poi(more difficult) taught by me
staff (also more difficult)(also taught by me)
mincing and poncing
extreeeeem contact(mcp)


all the times and the like will be up on a big noticeboard by the stall, which will be somewhere in the dance field opposite suggs loungs and bar, near the roots tent.

twill be wicked.

see y'all there.

ps. you are cordially invited to the gypsy marathon on sunday night at lost vagueness. i'll be playing at 4am with Orkestra del sol and then joined on stage by carnival collective - 35 piece sambe madness- as the sun comes up. then meandering stone(d) circle wards methinks.

Congratulations Gayle! You lucky so and so!

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing lots of happy poi people.
I'm guessing noone will mind if I just rock up and day hi de ho?
None of my mates play so it would be awesome to make some poi/staff buddies!

yippee not long now!!

Mucho congratulations Gayle! Thats so fab!

I'm now home in Cornwall and have finally held tickets in my hands and stroked them lovingly. So beautiful!

GOOD NEWS

Weather forecasts are generally not very accurate beyond five days ahead. There are just too many variables.

That said, we are far more confident than would usually be the case in the long-range forecast for Glastonbury 2005.

All the computer models are in agreement - it will be great for Glasto!

That'll do me

I agree, anything over 48hours is unreliable

Nice to hear them talk about sun rather than rain at this late stage

either way take: wellies, suncream, waterproofs, hat

I've got an aussie barmah hat, they're fantastic all weather hats.
