Just got off the train from Glastonbury - Oh my god, that was an experience!
What can I say apart from " Hi to all the fire spinning wierdos up in the Stone Circle!!!"
Love you all!

Woo hoooooo
Well that was all fun and jolly.
Didn't do much in the way of Spinning - lack of fuel and general "Too stoned to move" moments - but all was fun and good.
OMG, how good were Shpongle
Remember them Stix?

WooHoo! That was fantastic!!
I spent most of the weekend wandering around in a daze
I got in a whole load of spinning and managed to pull off a fantastic smack to the head with some fire ropes, there's a scab there now and considerably less hair
Ok, how many people are still wearing their wristbands?

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Personal Highlights:
Shpongle, Tiny Tea Tent, Thali Café, Radiohead, Athlete, Saturdays weather, meeting up with C@ntus and Ros again (very briefly though ), DIY Henna kits, Pear & Cranberry Cider, nice girl who let me spin her poi (Thanks - whoever you were!) and Yes
Personal Lowpoints:
Lemon Jelly (Nowhere near as good as they were back in April, although throwing a whitey at the start didn't help), Fridays weather, missing Lamb (in place of Radiohead though), Rahzel cancelling, the walk back to the car, not selling any glowsticks
Anyone else?

Rahzel's overrated. There are some amazing guys out here that make him look foolish. Don't get me wrong, he's pretty damn good but he gets about 70% of Human Beat Box props when he should really get about 25%.

Daz, i was there on sunday night, saw the elastic glo staff guy, amazing stuff! Was gonna go up there and ask to have a spin but i was all cuddled up with a guy i met about an hour before
There were two big groups, one with loads of glo stuff and an amazing guy with a big mohican (sp) and the other near the right of the stones. Both excellent!

Had a wicked time! Sunday nigyht was amazing! Danced all night long to Sphongle, jungle, swing, gypsy, rock'n'roll and psy-trance music. Where else can you find that kind of variety in a field?!

wooooooooooooooooo!
cheers to all those I met who helped make glasto so great I had the most perfect time - 'bimbling' and wandering and dancing my fairy socks off, didn't spin much for fear of being overshadowed but got the pleasure of watching cme mindblowing stuff. Knoxious and your partner in crime (Dimitri?) that was absolutely amazing. BamBam I want to be able to dance and spin like you - it's not fair! and you're too lovely to dislike for being so talented! Hels and Chad you two are so smiley and bouncy and fun and really made me feel at home, and boy can you spin! - thank you muchly for being so lovely . Even managed to catch up with stix and durbs - bloody great! Too many people to mention that made it all so fun.
AND sooooo much fantastic music! mmmmmm I'm still on my glastonbury high and enjoying it til the end - wil be days or maybe weeks til I calm down. I can't remember a lot of it though - i keep getting asked "what did you do / see? and I can't seem to answer - anyone else find that? I take it as a good sign.
love to all xxxxxx

1st day back at work and my head is severeley bent.
Has to be in the top 2 Glasto's of all time for me, mainly cos I was with such a great bunch of people.
I did a bit of fire and beamers on Thursnight or Frinight I think...can't quite remember, not much tho as I was quite tootled, and I nearly kneecapped myself several times with my beamers. Totally failed to introduce myself to anyone aswell
There were sooo many spinners there this year, was ace watching you all even if I couldn't get myself together to come and babble at you.
High points of the festival:
Last band @ Meccadonalds at about 6am on Monday morning....can't remember what they were called but it was kicking off in a big bouncey dancing stylee.
David Holmes.
and the lost field in general...what a lovely new space....
..roll on the Chill.
