it wasn’t just one nightmare weekend though, I’d been noticing things going to shit slowly since 2005 all the way from the Ridgeway to London (it was one reason I walked away from Reading and the party scene, and decided to concentrate more on my normal life and the rat race!

you are unlikely to see me on any dancefloor unless its in East Anglia, whilst I still enjoy music events a bit its no longer a major part of my life so I don’t put a lot of effort into getting to them…

fiar enough! horses for courses innit!

Must say GL – its not like you to judge something so harshly without seeing it for yourself.

loads of my friends have tried to get me to go since the 1990s but even their tales and the media have only put me off rather than made me want to go.

I don’t enjoy (very) large groups of people anyway!

Also its also about finances, economics and the triumph of capitalism that glastonbury really stands for. the locals hated it, until Eavis teamed up with Mean Fiddler and forced out the travellers and made it “pay its way”, now they grudgingly endure it. A total and complete cave in to the demands of the market.

In the same way I boycott certain other companies for their politics, I will never put money their way no matter how much allegedly goes to “charity”.

Its too expensive anyway, its like how I wouldn’t spend £200 on a wristwatch (and I like watches).

The same applies to events like Glade which a lot of my mates have tried to get me to go to..

those festivals got locked down and commerciallised way back when Garry Denke was a young idealistic student (and a bit saner than today?) rather than a oil company executive….

glade is worth the money tho imo. the whole festie is full of all the types of music i like and shit loads of wicked acts from everywhere. and its run by party people that actually want you to have a good time and not just take your cash and run. I fully agree about glasto tho. If i went id be spending 170+ for pretty much just a ticket to go to the dance area, cause thats where id be spending most of my time! the massive amounts of people at glastonbury properly did my head in as well.

ohh i dont know uk tek in wales restored my faith i think that was pretty much the only 3 dayer weve had in the uk for long time?? certanly the only one weve attended/knew about, was a beautifull site, we left it spotless aswell, there was a good mix of peoples even some forighn tourists the rig had some nice decor, good range of music and a busy crowd all weekend,cars parked sensibly etc things are never perfect but that party was the best weve seen in the uk for a long while and by my estimations the only one thats lasted 3 days in at least a year, no argy bargy,

what wasthe last 3 dayer you went to?

yeah that was a ace party, party i went to weekend just gone was so good as well. same vibe as welshtek, proper good atmosphere and loads of friendly faces, no trouble and not really any hassle from the cops. Also people were telling me that there was partys going on all over the shop that weekend, gonna be a good summer i reckon! :love: :bounce_flash:
