Hmmm going for tickets and considering taking the toddler with us... break them in young and all that..

Anyone want to swap a tab for a pill?

I'm unsure how we 'log in' to see tickets prior, I can log into see tickets from their website but I can't see an option from the Glastonbury see tickets page? 

Yeah I would  Yeah I would be scared to refresh.. that's what happened to me with Oasis, I had tickets in my basket within minutes but the payment screen froze and I refreshed and went to the back of the queue. It was painful

Homobloc WHP review...    Security less strict on the way in, I suspect they're a bit intimidated by a lot of people wearing leather. In any case my chewing gum was strategically hidden so at least I had that this time.    Got in in time for I. Jordan who lured us into a false sense of security with an ambient start before going standardly heavy. Great intro to the night but weird decision to put them on at 6.45pm.   Next was over to Concourse for Hercules & Love Affair who played a very solid set and dropped some 2008 bangers. I increasingly prefer Concourse over Depot for the atmosphere and it was definitely the better of the vibes last night.    Things get a bit blurry after that and I dunno what we did for the next hour until Rahim Redcar. I was not expecting much from Rahim, not a massive fan, but probably my act of the night. Hadn't really clocked them as dance music but actually it worked well.    Popped into Archive for a bit of LSDXOXO and was nice to enjoy a bit of techno before going back to Depot for Shygirl/Club Shy. Second time I've seen em this year (first was at glasto with gfa) and they just don't do it for me, I don't get the hype. Dare I say I just find it all a bit predictable?    Was really looking forward to 2manydjs b2b ConMan, thought it an unusual pairing but potentially very fun. It didn't work. Really disjointed and you could tell which tracks were who based on what was happening. So left the group with one pal and went to HAAi instead who was playing a softer set than I've seen her play before but very strong queer vibe. She looked like she was loving life which was beautiful to see.    Finished the night with Horsemeat Disco, old faithfuls, nothing groundbreaking... Like comfort food for clubbers.    Really enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly crowd who danced a lot despite being the most men I've ever seen at a gig. Never been called babe so much in my life.    Queens and dancers were incredible - particularly liked the pole dancer in the cage at the back which people were politely spectating like it was a cricketmatch.    Sound was good, bass was way clearer than the other week in both Concourse and Depot.    However, not sure if it's due to having more spaces open (rooftop + Star & Garter as well as the main space) or just the fact it hadn't sold out, but it mostly felt half empty and quite cold at times. (I suspect it was the latter because Repercussion last year had multiple spaces open and was sold out, that was packed absolutely everywhere.) Mayfield is a big space and when it's not full it does feel a little soulless. The changeovers of acts in Depot didn't help either, with a gap between them so you got the artists all building up to their big finale then completely losing that energy. Spoiled it a bit for me.    Toilets were unspeakable.    With that said, was nice to be out with good pals doing the extracurriculars again and overall a fun night. It just about gets to a 7/10 for me.
