Glastonbury line up kicks ASS!!!!!

People make an event for me

 

I know!

 

Trained equestrians for racing circuits, I guess

(Edit) I swear I'll stop talking like this, soon. I kind of like it though. Speaking in vocabularly-enhanced metaphors

 

These are brilliant...keep em coming

 

My intestinal emotion tells me that you're extracting urine from me...if so, kindly go forth and multiply.

 

Why, of course. Music makes the world go round for me. People come and go.:H

Indeed.

 

That's very commendable.

I'm merely projecting my own perspective on the issue. :H

At the end of the day, no one is thought more or less of. It's all fun and games.

 

kat, I think you should listen to a bit of Paddy Casey before Glasto, I'm sure you'll fall in love with him. And then you can come watch him with me! With this comes the risk of serious embarrassment as my friends had to go through last time I went to see him when I was messing about pretending I was irish not realising Paddy Casey himself was right next to me, and then when he got on stage he shouted out "well, I'm excited tonight, coz I know we have some irish folks in the audience" and then started a conversation with me from the stage in front of about 400 people about where abouts in Ireland I was from etc etc. Then he came and sat at our table after he played and I had to pretend I was fucking irish all night and make up things about my home town in Tipperary. In some ways it made me quite proud that my accent is so good I could fool an real irish person, but in many ways it was just plain embarrassing!

 

Anyway, as for Jim and Claire's little banter session, I agree whole-heartedly with Claire. It's not all about the line-up. I'm always telling people that I could easily go to Glasto and not watch a single band and still have an amazing time. I know this will probably sound over the top to some people, but I could easily spend forever at Glastonbury just for the atmosphere! And the people you spend time with DO make the festival. I saw some damn good bands last year, but if I'd gone on my own I doubt I would have half as much fun. For example, one of the best bands I saw were Scissor Sisters, but their set wouldn't have been half as much fun if I hadn't gone with my friend Ali and danced with her like an eejit in the rain all the way through. Or if I hadn't gone to see Muse with Moonie. Or if I hadn't gone to see Macca with a group of drunken lads who kept singing the lyrics to Let It Be over Penny Lane coz they were too drunk to tell the difference. That stuff is what makes proper memories! I've seen good gigs on my own, but Glastonbury is about the EXPERIENCE with great music thrown in! I think you should try and get tickets for Glasto 2007 and see what you're missing. Or you could watch Glastonbury on the telly, then you can watch it on your own without having to have the music ruined by all those people having an amazing time around you.

 

If you didn't already have a Silver Cheesegrater, you'd have one after this story for the best post in the world

 

I wasn't try to come cross as being more or less than you Jim... and I wasn't trying to imply commendability. I was just putting forward my views on a festival that I have actually been to

Anyway, I hear you're coming to Beautiful Days this year, so whatever your reasons for going (people or music) It'll be nice to meet you and I hope you have a good time

 

[size=-1]Touché. :H

There is other reasoning, but I am not at liberty to divulge such information at the present time..

Damn, word gets around on here faster than a 16 year old "hippie" can reach for daddy's credit card to buy Glasto tickets.

Haha I definitely deserve something for going through such an embarrassing ordeal! I will except this new Silver Cheesegrater, as I got my last one about 2 years ago and its going rusty

And Jim, as a girl who went to glasto when she was sixteen, I would take offence, but I used mummy's credit card instead so it doesn't count

 

I was thinking of your story last night, Mercy, and just before I went to sleep I came up with a thought.

What if Paddy Casey knew you were just pretending to be Irish, and did all that stuff as a prank to see how far you'd go with it?

Think about it...it makes the original story even funnier


By the way, when Erykah did something cool when she already had a Silver Cheesegrater, I gave her an extra grating option. Kind of like the extra bars you can get on a medal, except it's one of the grating options that a cheesegrater has four of. So you can have an extra one of those along with the shiny new Cheesegrater

Nobody has yet won a Golden Cheesegrater...I wonder who the first to win that will be...

 

Oh god, that would well be true, and if it is, that is the most embarrassing thing ever!
It could in fact be true, as, in another perfect example of my bad choice of timing for stupid accent pracks, I was waiting outside the venue a few hours too early so me and Chloe (i think you met chloe when we went to york) decided to go to the student union. As a joke, I thought I'd ask someone for directions in Irish accent (I must learn to stop doing this!!). I asked a random guy in the most ridiculous irish accent, and then burst out laughing. I later found out, when Paddy came and sat on our table after the stage conversation incident, that this 'random' guy just happened to be Paddy Casey's frigging tour manager!! From now on, before I go to a gig, I will need to find pictures of the band and their entire crew so I know not to do stupid things, especially stupid irish things, around them!!!

As for my extra grater option, I think I will pick the slicing option. I think this option is often overlooked.

In a charity shop on Harrogate I once found an 8 sided grater!!! No word of a lie, Mike, you would have loved it!

 

Yeah the lineup is pretty darn weird this year... very odd... an I'm not sure why its odd The White Stripes and COldplay were the only people I really wanted to see Just like the first year I went

 

i just have to say i saw the line up for Glastonbury and am superjealous...
Boo Hoo for me!!
