Glastonbury Wristband.

[Chocscoffer]

I did that for an interview

[William of Walworth]

Had a recent mega cull after our last fest (End of the Road)

Besides Glasto, I had Workhouse, Camp Bestival, WOMAD, Big Chill, Beautiful Days, Rhythm Festival, End of the Road bands (most cloth but 3 were plastic). Paper ones from 3 other festivals (Bearded Theory, Small World, Small Nations), and 2 backstage paper ones for Glastonbury this year (Avalon and JazzWorld) didn't/couldn't last either -- all the paper ones were removed earlier. In addition, until September, I still had Solfest bands from 2006 and 2007, and a rather manky Glastonbury 2005 one -- all cloth.

I couldn't bear though to lose Glastonbury 2007 (cool black design) and Glastonbury 2008 (crew) (cool green design). So those have stayed, with trimmed tails.

People think it's unhygienic to have retained all these cloth bands, but fukkem, I have a hot bath every day ....

5co77ie how well filled is your arm with bands, still??

[Finnmayer]

I still got mine 08 on. At Roskilde festival you get a free entry if you got ten (roskilde)wristbands on.

[angelheaded hipster]

Mine's still firmly in place and shall be staying there until next year's fest at least, when all of mine are going back on in a fifth anniversary mini-celebration! It still makes me smile every time I look down at it... Mine usually slip off a couple of months or so after Glasto, but at the moment it's holding firm - must be a bit tighter this year (or it could be that I've tied it up and haven't been playing with it so much in a determined effort for it to stay on! )

I still have my End of the Road fest band on too, even though the plastic digs in a little on occasion. I'm not so sure that one will make it to next year's fest, but it's also got too many good memories attached to it for me to take it off yet.

Two such great festivals this summer!

[Paul ™]

Just got my 08 and my Lowlands 08 ones on.

I usually keep all summers ones on then remove most but 1 or 2 for over winter time.. Take them off at the end of winter

[where be that blackbird]

I cut mine off this week in case it set off anything in airport customs - i hate being searched...

[Rachie]

I had 6 on for about 2 years, but like ive said in another thread, the pigs cut them off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so my wrists these days are minamal to only last summers festivals..

[steve269]

My 2008 one already feels like a part of my arm, it won't be coming off anytime soon

[Madmark]

mines still on

[no1_foxymama]

Got my 2007 and 2008 ones still on, I suppose its a bit sad but whenever I feel a bit sick of things, I can just look at them and it makes me smile

[newagehippie]

Currently still have on

Reading 06,07,08

Glasto 07,08

Blissfields 07

Till recently had Glasto 02 but it died totally so had to remove it.

[Ricochet]

Still have the 2008 one on, had to cut off 2005 - for my graduation! (mum insisted!!) but i did sewn it into the lining of my wedding dress for my something old when I got married this year!

[coxy99]

I still had my 2007 glasto band on till a few weeks ago. It started to smell really bad, was nearly in tears when i cut it off.

[big_ted]

Still wearing my Glasto '08 band

[JameSemajj]

[misbehave1208]

Yep got my 08 one on, and like above I got my 05 and 07 ones on a corkboard thingy, along with tickets and other glasto bits n bobs!!

[Katster]

How come?

My bands from 2007 and 2008 are both still on, see my earlier post, and they're fine ... hot bath every day ... no problemo! :angry:

[Pinhead]

Mine smell of shampoo - still have '07 and '08 on, and funnily enough the rest going back to the first cloth one are mounted on a similar 'wall of fame' to the above pic. Were all so alike . . . . . :angry:

[sifi]

I've got this years on, and one from FIB 2005. They don't smell.

[fullfathom5]

I've still got my '08 one on, that's it though!

[The Klumpster]

Still got my 08 band on but despite showering every day it's starting to smell a bit like an open tin of copy-dex in a tramps pocket Wish I'd kept them all though, 40 odd festivals and counting and I'd love to still have the early Reading ones, from the days when it was a good fest :angry:

[tido]

yep 2008 still in tact...said I'd only keep it on till 2009 tickets secured but just didn't have the heart to remove it :angry:

so it'll stay where it is for as long as possible
