I mades a video.
And Another...
Sunday
Yesterday we pottered around in the hostal garden till about five. I thrashed my brother at both Scrabble and Trivial Pursuits. Then we had to get the coach to Reus airport and hung around there for a couple of hours until the plane came.
Lazy day.
Saturday
Apparently leaving the hostal at 3pm is unreasonable for my brother he requires even more sleep than Joey.
Afrobeat, indie pop, doom metal, strange mechanical contraptions and Uffie. Uffie is great, especially in her cat suit.
Back to the hostal for some food and sangria and cava and talk with hippies.
Sonar by Night. The Chemical Brothers were too quiet instead we went to watch the 2020 Soundsystem here were far better. Dancing to Hip Hop till some ridiculous time in the morning.
My head is fuzzy. Tired.
Ha Ha
That's what you think, you aint seen nuthin yet. My revised schedule allows for only 43 minutes a day to watch bands in amongst snoozes, cat naps, power naps, core sleep time and recovery time.
Lift Off
I'm planning on picking you and Gazza up at 5AM on Wednesday morning, I think that way we should be able to set up camp without fucking hours of tramping about looking for spaces and not get us stuck in the worst of the traffic jam onto the site. This would mean we would be nicely relaxed and unhasselled by carting shit about by the time the football starts.
Personally I am up for leaving even earlier but I suspect you would be too lazy to get up any earlier.
Sounds OK.
Sounds OK, I am supposed to be on call till eight but there'll probably be someone in the office about seven I can pass the shit onto them (or switch my phone off).
Monsieur Hellbastard says he is heading off at six and wants to camp on the Pennards Hill, he said we should join him. I said I would give him a bell when we gets there.
Do I take my wellies or my old walking boots (which are probably more waterproof)?
Actually
If you can't decide take both and just leave them in my boot until you can assess the conditions first hand and make an informed choice.
Cool
I think that means we'll need to drive around the site to the Western parking areas and gates to get reasonably close. I shall consult Google Maps.
I'd take Wellies, it's not going to rain anyway but if it does then walking boots are nowhere near as good as wellies. I remember Mr Lewis spending at least 45 minutes trying to get his boots off last time until he had cut through all the laces with a knife. When I was in the rainforest in darkest Peru ( which experiences conditions very similar to those at Glastonbury ) all the natives went about in wellies.
If you can get your beer before hand so we can just load up the car and go and not have to look for open supermarkets en-route. Or let me know what I want and I'll go shopping tomorrow.
Beer.
I already have beer. 30 cans of Strongbow and 15 cans of Fosters. Gaz has 30 cans of something and a bottle of vodka.
Food wise what do you reckon I should take? Twenty packets of crisps, some duck liver pate and a box of cornflakes. ;)
I'm sure Karl said that you have to come off a junction or two earlier and go down the A37 I think but yeah check on the googly maps thing.
Food ?
What ?
Friday.
Got up with a slight hangover which was soon ban¡shed with the power of cornflakes, bananas and orange juice. After a couple of hours of faffing around we decided it was time to go and see some musical entertainment.
The first thing we saw was a spanish soundscape artist who had very intense eyes while he was banging around on drum kit. Following this intenseness we decided to look at some robots.
All of this activity made me hungry so off i went to get an all day breakfast and a couple of beers in a backpackerer´s bar.
After my fill I headed back to the action to see a Chinese dubstep version of Bjork. Rather good. Then there was some dancing around in the sun to house music.
Then my brother went off to watch the New Young Pony Club just because the lead singer has a very nice pair of bristols. I headed into the underworld to see this decades version of Massive Attack. King Midas Touch. They were fucking brilliant, very fucking loud, very cool, they will be huge.
We watched the football in an Irish Bar. Less said about that the better. Met some LCD Soundsystem groupies from Manchester who had seen them the previous night in Galicia.
Back to the hostal to freshen up. Had a few beers with some Danish lads. Caught the bus to the festival just in time to see LCD Soundsystem who were there usual good self.
My brother disappeared and I went and sat down in the VIP area and had a little snooze. This worked wonders as I got a huge second wind and went off to dance to the excellent Hudson Mohawke, unfortunately he´d only been given a fourty five minute slot.
Beer was a shocking FOUR POUNDS for half a pint. I decided to not drink.
Caught the end of 2manyDjs, amazingly they have some new records. They finished by playing Love Will Tear Us Apart while a massive confetti cannon shot out lots and lots and lots of paper.
Claude VonStroke finished off the night with some loud minimal techno.
I bumped back into my brother and we decided to head back home. Got back to the hostal about eight. I think I´ve had about four hours sleep. Tried to have some more but am wide awake.
Time to do it all over again.
Time To Die
Rich, I'm afraid that on your return to the UK I am going to have to kill you and steal your Glastonbury ticket. We've known each other for a long time so I think it's only fair to give you some warning so you can take the appropriate measures. I will however hunt you down mercilessly, there is no escape.
Don't take it personally but the nice IT support lady at work has told me this I what I must do, perhaps not in so much detail but she didn't object when I suggested your execution, so she can have your ticket. I fear the only blemish on this otherwise perfect plan is that once she'd knocked her teeth out, grown a beard, lost her hair, grown an all over body pelt and turned a drunken red colour to match your photo ID a large part of the original motivation behind the plan may have been lost.
Fence
Can´t she jump over the fence?
Inappropriate
I hardly think that would be appropriate, she's a lady not one of your loose moralled pole vaulting types.
Thursday
The VIP bar has been done out like the cantina on Tattooine only quite badly. We say a droney droney electronica bloke in bad shorts, then some Turkish dubstep before I got hungry and went and ate all I could eat. Pete Tong had a hissy fit but was quite fun. Then there were some people plugging wires in and out of a box and banging on a double bass and make strange noises. A few beers later I saw krautrockers Cluster but it really wasn´t the right place or time being so lovely outside and DJ playing such summery tunes. I felt I was getting quite drunk so decided to go back to base and sit on the roof to eat and drink and talk.
