Glastonbury 2008

[louisiana]

The Verve - apparently booked by Emily, not Michael - were also brilliant, closing on Sunday night on the Pyramid. They played the set of their lives. And Goldfrapp were excellent too.

Lots of great stuff in the smaller tents and venues: The Duke Spirit (fab! singer), Bass Clef, the Human Jukebox, The Blsck Dog, The Presets...

Emily's Park area - up next to the stone circle - is developing nicely, and this year there was a lovely new small and perfectly formed DJ venue called Igloo, which on Saturday was back-to-back Ninja Tune DJs. Ooh, and a crazy music venue (House of Dolls?) run by the Rubbish Fairy person over in Mad Max-style Trash City.

Rain on Thursday eve, but from then on it was flip flops all the way, with hard-baked ground.

Whose going this year?

I just had my daughter's ticket turn up by special delivery this morning. My day can only get better:(

[????]

Bestival for me with the quidlets

[SeanMacGabhann]

Not this year - so that guarantees your daughter a sunny one

[TillieTrotter]

The weather is looking good for it, bloody typical.

[TillieTrotter]

Maybe we should pitch the tents in our gardens Mac and shout "bolloxs" to each other for the night. I'll get the ciders in.

[????]

A mate of mine did this last year had a tepee and fire in the back garden with a TV...had a rare old time with his own toilet and bed nearby...he does like a smoke though

[Brendan]

We had a party like that about 6 years ago. Tinnies and joints in the back yard with the TV in the window. I even turned the hose on everyone halfway through they day just to add that extra bit of authenticity.

[TillieTrotter]

Sounds great, all round to mine then. We need to get that authentic toilet smell though to really make it work. And some naked painted ladies. I'll start making the pyramid stage to sit the TV on.

[Brendan]

You arrange the naked ladies and I?ll half-inch a porta-loo from a building site.

[Keef]

Does that mean Sean will be at the other end of the garden on his own, in the comedy tent?

[????]

Tillie he had a pyrmaid too...he went native, stopped washing etc, his missus didn't mind, kept him out the house etc

[*Bob*]

Secret Garden Party this year

(shh..)

[SeanMacGabhann]

All joking aside, there is every intention of doing something like this anyway!

[Brendan]

What, shouting bolloxs over the fence at your neighbour?

[Mikecg]

LOL!

[Ted Max]

That's the great thing about the EDF. You can shout bolloxs at the whole neighbourhood without even rising from your scratcher.

[TillieTrotter]

He does it all the time Brendan, I've written many letters about him.

Lol Keef...that sounds about right.

[Brendan]

I think Sean Mac, pissed up on cider and swearing at people over the fence would probably be one of the best comedy acts I?ve ever seen.

[TillieTrotter]

It's actually not that funny Bren. Friday nights are becoming abit of a chore to be honest.

[Brendan]

Stop it you?re killing me. He?s now in a dirty vest, unkempt and unshaven with a half finished 2lt bottle of Diamond White in hand and hurling Celtic flavored abuse at you over the fence while you sit at a wrought iron table in a pristine garden sipping tea out of bone china.

[TillieTrotter]

At last, we've found the peeping Tom. Brenda, shame on you.

Tillie do you think you could please run to some soft toilet paper for those of us who are less hardcore? Essentially, can I can get vipped please?

[????]

I'll bring some paint
