Clashes permitting, yes! ;)

Don't plan too much, if anything really. That's my advise for the festival! I'm quite sure we can manage some dancing to minimalist beeps somewhere. In fact, the aforementioned Glasto Virgin Friend likes that sort of music too :)

Oh Lucy, I'm only kidding!

God, I'm coming across all stalkery!

I promise to plan as little as is practicable. There will be bits an pieces band-wise where I will just have to commit, but I am determined that this should be my first free-style, organic, come-on-then-whatcha-got-for-me festival.

this is my first fest since 2013, i don't think i've every been this excited about anything in my entire life (probably best i don't tell me wife that)

at this moment i think i'd rate my newbie thunder levels at about 8.5

Slo this is my 5th time and I'll always this excited. Sometimes I can hear myself talking and I actually feel I'm going on ridiculous. I can't help it. It's the best place on earth. I feel sorry for my colleagues

As I have described, ad nauseous in various threads, I have, for a number of years, been to one festival only, per year. They have kind of rotated through Latitude, Green Man and End of the Road.

I actually feel a bit guilty that my annual festival (often with my gig/festie buddy, but several times alone) is, without question, the thing that I 'look forward to' the very most. That doesn't make it the most important thing in my life, an essential distinction, when you think I've got three teenagers and a beautiful wife who I leave behind for the best part of a week.

But, it is mine. I don't actually want to share it with them, only in as much as that's the one time in the year when I don't want anyone else to dictate the agenda, to decide what I will or will not do. I spend the rest of the year dedicated to the happiness and well-being of others, be they my beautiful family, or my patients/friends at work.

My festival is the only time I can truly be at peace with myself. I am 'naughty' in that I do things there that I just can't justify doing in the real world. I don't do this to be hip, alternative or cool. It just wouldn't do to burn the candle that hard all the time (are you listening, Yog?! This is your doctor speaking!!). I don't want to be doing that with my family. It's not deceitful, I have rationalised this. It's a side to my character that I can express in this environment, with people who like to experience that too. There are very few (any?) people in my 'normal' life who have in any way the same emotional attachment and importance to music and festival life as me.

This summer, even though I am going alone, I want to meet and talk to as many people as I can. To watch music and other things with them. To discuss stuff and talk crap until stupid o'clock. To dance like a madman. To see the sun rise from the Stone Circle. To be a part of a community that convenes only rarely, in only a very few places.

All pseudo-spiritual claptrap, I know, but as an atheist with utter, if non-pleasurable, conviction in my belief, this annual pilgrimage is the closest I get to my spiritual self. And I can't wait to share it with all of you.

Dredge or Drenge?

No, Dredge. You know, the band where all the members come on stage dressed in Police Forensic Divers' suits...

Don't know them, matty?

Where have you been?!

Ah.

Yes.

Drenge, clearly.

Damn you, autocorrect!

So, any DRENGE fans on here? Album is still brilliant (currently on second spin of the stream).

So I have missed:

1) We all love each other loads

2) Ben is a stalker

3) Someone covered a song

4) Tis cold outside

5) We have all paid money and are pretty happy about that

6) We are jealous of virgins - though I am not one now I am still one to half the site so therefore class myself as a semi virgin!!!

*needs to dispel potential reputation alert*

I'm not. Promise. I'm just an intolerable enthusiast. Ask my wife. Think of me as a kid who thinks that every tomorrow is Christmas Day...

:resent:

The only really important point is that we all smile and enjoy life whilst being real lovely considerate people.

I think that is something we all manage very well indeed.

Totally agree

So, my lovely new NFR NFC friends, I have just paid my balance and therefore am a fully fledged Glastonbury ticket holder.

For the very first time.

(I'm there for you, jeffie!)

I am excited beyond human communication.
