⛺ Glastonbury 2019

Good patriot is young Frank.

Magic & Frank are on my list will see how the lads feel. It also means we can more easily be at Pangea later on our way back to campervan park which is on my must do list this year

You will see jlaw at morcheeba and FT.
You may see me for idles and morcheeba.

I may be heading to Micahel Kiwanuka who is worth a listen.

How you getting on with da moves?

I’m pretty OK up to the butt slap then get a bit outta step…

I know it is REALLY stupid, but it made Stayin Alive with Barry Gibb an absolutely magical moment a couple of years ago

Baz - you can get on this, will really rock out your shed

Day 1 of Powerbank testing
As explained to 1 of our krew Lithium Ion batteries degrade over time & temperature, and his 4 year old 3,000 mAh EE pack wont even charge his phone once if it works at all. But you can swap them… Nope
Anyway 1st one working fine.

Next job will be deleting duplicate & free apps I wont need - somehow I have 3 email apps, ain’t gonna need BA or any car rental apps & who needs news apps burning battery all weekend.

2x10000mAh powerbanks for overnight 1 new 4000mAh for daytime top ups & an old 3300mAh that at least keeps the phone running in emergency.
Oh and a point & shoot camera to use for any video clips & proper pictures.

Corpus Christi today so public holiday time to get more miles into the legs

Is JLaw knocking one off at Morcheeba then?

WTAF?

Yesterday afternoon 10 day forecast Weather.com

Today same web site

Not to mention the late afternoon thunderstorms those temperatures normally cause. SOME of the data is indicating temperatures could go even HIGHER next week - Bournemouth Weather implying mid to high 30’s! - Shit

Not so bad (heat wise) for actual main event days but that is gonna be tough legging it back & forward to/from the car parks for the masses Mud is manageable, but 29C really is not when you are in direct sunlight all day. The inside of a tent will be in the region if 40C as you try to get everything sorted.

One of the guys I’m working with is volunteering for Oxfam at Glastonbury and has been receiving regular news and photos from the site.
Make sure you have your wellies.

There has been ONE day I haven’t needed to wear wellies when leaving the campervan site/mates place. :slight_smile:

This made me chuckle, its probably far worse now for commercialism.

This was one of the videos at Buxton’s Bug tonight.

Great little line about the government and Boris.

Phew.
Dont have to miss The Killers

Jesus that is fucking desperate, this is a shite line up (cue everyone saying Glastonbury isn’t about the headliners).

Keep crying, Barry.

I want to make tea with your tears.

Mmm. Sweet, salty tear tea.

Thought it was great news. I want to see The Killers. If it had been Fleetwood Mac or Springsteen I’d have missed a band I want to see :slight_smile:

What are you going on about, its a wank line up.

There are come bands I’m looking forward to, if the Foals aren’t playing maybe next year headlining with Mac? Now that is a good 2/3 of headliners.

Fuck off you tasteless blert.

You wanted Status Quo to headline.

Status fucking Quo.

I’ll say it again.

Status Quo.
