People, here is a place that when you get back you can talk about the bands, the camp site antics, the drink and drugs. The festival.
Anyone check out "Dave's Rave" last night in the green campsite? Afro Dave and Naked Dave were ledgends!
Also what happen involving Hulk Hogan on the donut stand? For those of you who wern't there, A guy on one of the donut stands looked like Hulk Hogan and apparently a mob of people (I heard about 250) came to see him when his shift started at around 1AM. Not sure what happened but the next night about eight police men and woman stood in a semi-circle around the stand and more were close by. Hulk Hogan was nowhere to be seen. So what actually happened?
I'm tired, so that's it for now.
Bet that was shouted a lot throughout the evenings eh?

So all in all a good weekend apart from the cost.
It was aggressivly skewed toward making as much money as possible (mile long water queues so you have to buy the £2 a bottle water etc), the bass from the dance tent was so high you could hear it at the main stage, and the Sunday and Friday line-ups were bloody awful.
The nightlife rocked, until you actually needed to sleep, because it was impossible.
If you saw people playing a harmonica and dancing - that was me.
The guy with long hair jumped about and screamed. They wore black. Critics loved it inexpicably. The End.
