Out of reach

[j4]

Sorry to everybody who was hoping I'd contact them (or hoping to be able to contact me) by SMS at Glastonbury -- I took my old phone, having charged it up beforehand, but a) I didn't manage to transfer all the numbers I needed from one phone to the other, and b) I hadn't used the old phone for a while and it seems the battery life is shot to hell, it started behaving unpredictably (claiming it had gone from empty to half-full and back again between power-cycles) on Friday and was completely dead by Saturday. :-( And I'm afraid I just couldn't face the 2-hour queue for the phone-recharging tent.

Especially sorry I didn't see acronym or brrm at all -- I think I managed to bump into most other people somewhere along the way if only briefly.

Will write up properly when I have time. [Executive summary: good music, too much mud.]

Next year (if I go) I'm going to go on Wednesday morning and camp in the tiny bit between the Stone Circle and the Greenfields... :-)


Is that the Dragon Field? I was pointed in that direction by acronym at about 3am on Monday morning because I was looking for a source of Music With Beat and he was staying up all night because an unofficial doof being held there meant he wouldn't get any sleep even if he tried.

Glad you enjoyed the music, though.

I thought it was the Green Peace, BICBW. Never heard of the Dragon Field.

Oh, the map (http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/INFO/siteplan.html) appears to have reverted to Glastonbury 2002 for some reason. And the campsites' names don't seem to be marked. Ho hum.

The one I'm thinking of doesn't, IIRC, is quite nice and peaceful. Though I suppose it may turn into Music With Beat late at night -- if so perhaps I won't head over there after all! I am a girly wuss, or rather I like to retain the option of sleep even if I choose not to take it...
