Glastonbury 2009

23Jun09

As of tomorrow, I will be spending a very long, very drunken weekend at the Glastonbury Festival, having won a pair of VIP tickets in a competition at work. Yesterday. Evening. As you can imagine, this has left me feeling more than a little unprepared.

Currently, I don’t have a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, wellies, coat or bag to actually take the items I don’t have in. So I’ll be sleeping on the grass/mud in shorts and a t-shirt all weekend at this rate. Which should be fun.

So the plan is that I throw some clothes and other items of the handy packing list into as many bags as I can find, lug them into work with me, then lug them to Reading, where I meet my friend and we load the car with as much useful junk as I can find strewn about my parent’s house before setting off. Via Asda. For a sleeping bag presumably.

Seriously though, I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve never been before, least of all in the VIP section, and on Monday morning I had only a week of earlies followed by a quiet weekend to look forward to. This is much better. If a damn site less organised.

I’ll be taking as many pictures as my poxy cameraphone allows over the weekend and adding them to whatever memories I might have left when I return exhausted, hungover and happy on Monday.
