The sun is shining, my bags are packed and as soon as I get out of work tonight and don my fairy wings I'll be on my way

*Dances around the office with the radio blaring*

So whether you are going in body, mind or spirit ... who will you be rushing to see and what are you wearing?

No not going but have a great time, the lineup sounds good

I'm off down to Glastonbury this afternoon. Can't believe Susie has been there for one night already. I've never gone down for the Wednesday!

mu bags are packed and they are heavy...Perhaps I should take some of my clothes out (Not the Vodka!!) ...so much for travelling light.

Hopefully it won't rain to much and I can leave my wellies in the car. Anyone else going?

i went, but was stuck on the gates for 12 hours a day got to see a lot of the bands after 9 tho

what did eveyone else think of REM, i thought they sucked!

How do you mean stuck on the gates!!

I got there Thursday night and we drove straight in really near to the site...then it was easy to get round. Compared to the years when everyone used to break in it was empty.

And REM were great, a fair bit of old stuff together with a great song or two That are new.

Polyphonic spree rocked, the weather was mainly fine, Otway rocked the Cabaret tent (Again!) and Arthur Brown was Amazing. Also saw thw Coral, The Warlocks, Yo La Tengo, David Gray, Bowling for columbine at 2 in the morning which was wicked, adn finished the weekend off in the stone circle - FAB!

I was working backstage of the One World area, my highlights were trying to keep a certain band away from the booze before they played. Low point - Yes. Now I know why punk happened.

Woohooo! Roll on next year!

I'm glad I got down there on the Wednesday... gave me plenty of time to get used to the site and check out some of the amazingly random stuff in Lost Vagueness before all the madness at the weekend.

Over the weekend I saw The Darkness, The Music, Alison Moyet (very good), Beth Orton (brilliant), David Gray, REM (I was so bored during that performance ), Finka, Gemma Hayes (great), Polyphonic Spree, Interpol, The Coral, Lamb (so well worth missing Radiohead for... absolutely fantastic!), Siobhan Donaghy, Cerys Matthews, Beth Gibbons (and I shook her hand!), Moby, as well as some others in the New Bands tent that I can't remember at the minute.

Also saw Bowling for Columbine and the Rocky Horror Show at the cinema.

Bollocks...!
