Glastonbury 2017

Some nasty clashes, as per.

Lorde and Radiohead is a killer

Bloody Hell

The Pretenders are still going…

17:45 Other Stage Saturday gonna be the “Last Big Suprise”? (Anything from Harry Styles to Gaga rumoured)

tbh at least last year I had heard of most of the bands on the Pyramid stage. But this year, lot of work to do on You Tube (Crap Local Radio)

Can see a few clashes already. Particularly on Saturday.

Yeah, Katy Perry or those TBA boys. Tough call :lou_sunglasses:

But seriously seems sod all on early each day then the huge clashes late afternoon and at headline time.

Gonna take planning and think the weather (mud levels) will decide the eventual choices.

BUT our krew just agreed there is one NO WAY NOT GONNA BLOODY MISS act.

The Pretenders - more pumped to see them for some reason.

I am sure we will see the Pretenders too. Seen Chrissie on stage with Brandon Flowers a few times.

I now need to get flexi booked for the Wednesday as partner now wants to head down then rather than Thursday. It was his decision as he thinks we get too tired by Friday. Men eh? Cannot make up their minds.

Keifer Sutherland, Sunday, Avalon stage ???

He’s only on for an hour. Where’s he doing the other 23?

Types the man who clearly didn’t listen to the You Tube link of his album I posted.

Go see him? It’ll feel like 24

Guilty m’lud.

C’mon Pap.

You expect a reply from See tickets?

Best Glasto perfomance

Also best live act i’ve seen

Here we go!

  1. The Glasto App now ready to download. In light of the current status of the UK I would recommend you do download it because (being an Event App person myself :lou_sunglasses: it contains a “Messaging system” which may be rather handy in event of say heavy rain or other shit)

  1. The warning about enhanced security. Having been involved in that stuff, I have every confidence that we will be OK. At the end of the day EVERY ticket holder supplied a huge amount of personal data including Photos in order to get their tickets. Rest assured that every one of those details will have been checked by “The Authorities”

So the prep and planning for nutters to apply for tickets and take their ID’s with them makes it “difficult” not impossible. Plus every time I have been they really DO check your photo and ID. Equally each time I have gone by Camper Van it has been searched so

But end of the day Bags and Wheelbarrows will be searched so getting in on Wednesday will be a nightmare even BEFORE it rains. I’m sure some will moan but personally? Inconveniencing some lads trying to wheelbarrow 10 cases of cheap beer into the event is a small price to pay to help the security.

Now where did I put my old Kevlar Jacket sample?

Now, how to smuggle a thousands Power Banks into the place to pay for the trip?

Get learning the steps :lou_lol:

FFS. Whatever happened to the days of simply sitting in Mud and Poo and enjoying the rain dripping down your neck while trying to light sidden “smokes”? Now we get homework to do? SRSLY?

Tickets are on their way!

This rain needs to stop about 2 weeks before hand. I.e soon!

Last year was my first Glastonbury and given Michael Eavis said it was the worst mud they’d ever seen I feel like I’m much better prepared for this one!

Going to take a look at clashfinder to try and plan it out, not that I will end up sticking to it once there

Last year was my 5th in a row. Yep that was some pretty bad mud. I have a bad back and trying to walk on the mud and find somewhere to sit was excruciating on the last day.

Here’s hoping it will be glorious sun this time around. Because when it is, it’s so so much easier.

In what is becoming something of an annoying tradition, 2 weeks out and KRG finds himself crippled. This time it’s my back that has gone. Praying it’s just a spasm that will settle down in a day or two.

On the plus side, the very nice doctor has prescribed me plenty of diazepam :lou_smiley:

I seem to be having my summer sinus infection now in time for it to clear up by Glastonbury. If my back goes like last time I will be searching for KRG and his meds.

Lol at us lot.

I was rushed to hospital yesterday with severe pain in my abdomen. Turns out is an infection caused by reaction to the meds to try and minimise my cartridge tear.

so mega antibiotics and off the Proxen.

Glasto bound full of meds :nerd_face::nerd_face::nerd_face:

Today’s I forgot that advice.

Been surprised how my (3 month old) Samsung was burning battery life.

Went into settings and found that somehow system updates had added shit and changed app settings.

So 1st up reset to medium power saving, then blue light filter was turned off. That added 2 hours life.

Then discovered that almost every app had been reset to still be checking for updates even when not in use again went through and stopped the non critical ones. Boom another 3 hours.

Anyway 5 minutes of restoring stuff phone is fine and I added 7 hours battery life.

Also cleaned up the RAM and made sure the SD card has acres of space.

Should now get through each day and have overnight power available and couple of small 2200mwh power banks for emergency.

Worth the effort!

Can still switch to full power save mode as well on the day!
