What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2023?

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I checked out how I could send magic mushrooms from the Netherlands to the hotel in Bristol.

Hoping they send it as discreetly as possible.

Quite easy to pick in the autumn

I'm always petrified that I pick something wrong and end up giving myself the worst trip of my life 😆

Bought a fresh and black tent, as we sold ours 2 weeks ago.
 

This is due to buying cheap kendal calling tickets (£70 each) today from twickets., and needing a tent.

Freeze drying…

Definitely. I have a dehydrator for that 🙂Although only ever grown my own and not picked any Liberty caps  

I just got confused by someone suggesting picking in Autumn when it sounds like they meant they were buying pre-dried in Netherlands and shipping over.

I wanted to ship them over because I'm worried about picking a variety that isn't psilocybin and having a bad time (as Mackey would say).

You won’t find any growing at that time of year, unless you’re lucky enough to know some wood chip areas that are sprouting cyanescens (wavy caps). Though still don’t think they come along until the temps drop later in the year. They’ve been known to pop up around supermarket car parks, etc! 
 

Is there any loophole in Netherlands that means you can still purchase mushrooms legally? I know you can buy truffles.

Legally is an interesting word when it comes to the Dutch drug laws. Did a quick search in Dutch for you and it seems you can buy the growkits or spores. Did find some that ship to the UK. 

(I keep on editing because re-reading I see what the idea is, to have ready ones in the UK, so the above isn't of help)

Sorry, should be more specific, they're truffles from a website in Netherlands. I live in Germany, so I was gonna have them delivered to the hotel in the UK before I flew in on the Tues. Totally hush-hush, nondescript boxing etc. Pick them up and take them to the fest!

Looks like the websites are quite into nondescript boxing indeed but the customs between EU and the UK are a massive pain so : they'd have to list contents, and even if they write "truffels for risotto" I'm guessing anything organic is a no. Plus the tax thing. If they do list the UK as a country to ship to I'm guessing they have a way. 

Maybe ask the shop if it would fit/send NOT in a parcel but as regular mail? I'm guessing it's not something they would advertise for on the website.

Work have just provisionally approved the time off work for the last weekend in June 2023 subject to ticket day 😁

Thanks for the tip! See how it goes, all dependent if I get tickets in Oct anyway I guess.

Met up with a couple of mates last night for a drink, not seen one of them since pre lockdown #1. Discussed going to Glastonbury and both up for going! One of them has never been and was always a bit unsure about going (the whole toilet, lack of sleep thing). 

Next step is just to try and secure the flippin' tickets!

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Had a practice last weekend of drinking/having two big nights out in a row. Was an absolute shitshow on Sunday, although more out of tiredness than anything else. Don't still feel fully awake.

If we're going to go to Glasto, def need to be strategic about when the big nights out are. It's a young man's/woman's game all this partying.

Being strategic about nights out is important.

My preference is to make every night a big night out.

Here's how I do it:

1. Eat well during daylight hours.

2. Keep well hydrated.

3. Absolutely no alcohol.

4. Get some sleep every morning, at least 4 hours, preferably 6.

5. MDMA, just enough to stay awake, dance, keep happy and smiley. 

I'm no "spring chicken", but this well tried and tested formula has worked for at least a decade.

Battery’s are all charged by solar panels currently … unfortunately not mounted on the hat as I’m trying to cut the weight down 😀

I think I would really struggle with no.5. All the others, I pretty much do already. 

I always get worried about doing 5 straight nights of mandy, but then I'm not really sure why. Just feels wrong somehow, lol

Check out https://rollsafe.org/mdma/#taking-mdma-molly-ecstasy

To be risk free you need to  be 5 weeks between doses. From what I know ( not an expert) 5 days on it would seriously fuck up your seratonin levels and the come down would be significant. 
 

I’ll personally only roll twice at the festival but many people do the 5 days and seem fine on it

Years old picture updated to something a little more recent in registration. Let's be realistic, I do look a bit different.

Checked how long before TDay. 61 days!

Or maybe 68
