READING & LEEDS WEEKEND BABY!

[iammonky]

Its nearly upon us. For some its the first time and for others a yearly commitment.

What particular experience are you most looking forward to?

This could be camping, in the arena, a particular band, an attraction, friends your meeting up with, something youve not done before, something you cant wait to do again!

Simply complete the statement I CANT WAIT..................!

I CANT WAIT....... to get my tent setup and sit outside it with a beer thinking that Ive just started a night out thats gonna last 5 days!

[thetime]

seeing radiohead!

At Download and Sonisphere this year I experimented with creating a serious comfort level for sleep - double air bed, duvet(bought on site for a tenner) and pillows (£5). It was like being at home it was so comfy, and was well worth the money and made the hangovers slightly easier to deal with. It's awesome and I strongly advise people to do the same

[Lithium05]

Yeah Joe Bananas, Welly Bob's and similar stores all sell air beds, duvets, pillows etc. Usually the same ones who sell camping chairs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it immensely. However a few things are hampering my excitement.

1) The thought that a week away, is a week spent at work. They don't pass quickly when your looking forward to something!

2) Mate whose ticket hasn't arrived from Viatout is also one of the only ones who can drive amongst us. If they f**k him over, they seriously screw our plans up.

So a little anxious. If viatout sort themselves out, then I guess I'll finally allow myself to get excited and use that to get through work! .

Setting up the tent ( pop-up ) and cracking open that first beer. Totally agree with you guys on that one...

and manchester orchestra being my first band of the festival this year, cannot wait!!

[Budweiser]

1) Sitting down with a beer around my mates and relaxing

2) Jumping up and down to Deftones and occasionally moshing.

3) Watching Alexisonfire in lock up tent

[jonnyisRFC]

Watching Gaslight Anthem on my birthday

[jammy2211]

I've barely thought about it, and I'm still not really looking forward to it like I have all the previous times. I've not a clue why, it's my 5th year in a row so I guess the excitement is just wearing off for me? It could also be that all the people I'm going with I haven't seen as much as I used to since we all went to uni and stuff, so we're not all talking about it and hyping it up.

It's probably better this way though, last year underwhelmed me in alot of ways, this way I'll just get there and be like, wooo Reading.

[FiestaDave]

Ive become incontinent with impatience.

Got into my first choice university after months of planning what to do with my life if i dont get in, fully expecting not to. So now im gonna enjoy Reading more than usual, i dont think there will be any point over the weekend that I will be sober. Excited is an understatement

Pretty much exacly the same. Although the picture on the t'internet failed to show a big flowery/leafy design in bright pink covering my tent!

Manchester Orchestra are brilliant, have you seen them live? 'Where have you been?' is a truley great live song
