Taste and look horrible, but when you're at a festival you can't be too picky. I think I'll take enough money to feed myself from a food outlet once a day then just live off snacks and them tinned things.

O_o I'll have a mooch around Morrisons at some point, see if I can find anything useful. Got a shuttle bus ticket today, for thursday morning.

Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 22nd, 2009 at 04:17am During the festival, go sit in a field/your garden with a camp chair, a pair of sunnies and wellies, a few cans, a torch, and about half a million cereal bars, and watch the coverage on the bbc. Then don't wash properly for five days for the optional weekend effect. Instant Reading/Leeds! Though mostly Reading if you're watching it on telly. Most well known and all that, idk

Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 24th, 2009 at 08:37am Oi oi Does Reading have a milkshake stand? I'm a bit obsessed with this milkshake stand at Leeds, they have aero milkshakes and such. I think that's what all my money I brought went on tbh.
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 25th, 2009 at 06:32am Can't wait for TLE ^ Reading or Leeds? Edit: what happened to the other person?
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	August 25th, 2009 at 06:56am Reading does have a milkshake stand I think, and also I go to Reading which instantly makes it awesome. Although to be fair my friend who's been to both said he enjoyed Leeds a lot more.
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 25th, 2009 at 09:44am Ah, you see despite the fact that I feel my allegiances should lie with the festival from my hometown, if Reading's mikshake stand is as good as that of its Northern counterpart, they must be equally as brilliant. Is Reading as close to the main city as it looks? I always thought that might be a little distracting. I shall have to go there instead one year to compare.
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	August 25th, 2009 at 11:15am The Tesco or whatever is about a mile from the main entrance. I don't know if that's the town centre or not. Just had my last shower for a week. Bring it on.
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 25th, 2009 at 11:19am Mm, there's a tesco a couple of miles or so the road from Brahman, but it's otherwise very countryside-y and quiet around the actual area. It's just on aerial photos I've seen of Reading, the town centre looks really close. They might have just been taken from a funny angle though. I have made a list of everything I need to take, that's as far as I've got. I take it you've got an early bird then?
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	August 25th, 2009 at 01:09pm Yep, my coach leaves at 5:45 tomorrow afternoon. Bought a crate of 24 beers, but one of them split in the car drive home so now I've got 23 in a makeshift box. Just stuck a few old pizza boxes together with sellotape and cling filmed the shit out of it. I hope it holds.
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 25th, 2009 at 03:43pm Whooooops. Should be alrightt. I have now cleaned my wellyboots and done some washing.
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	August 31st, 2009 at 06:56am RADIOHEAD
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	August 31st, 2009 at 10:10am Oh Placebo pls
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	August 31st, 2009 at 12:44pm FAITH NO FUCKING MORE AND RADIOHEAD
Sherlock Holmes Addict Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 10375	August 31st, 2009 at 03:46pm I guess it was good then?? .
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	September 1st, 2009 at 03:47am Oh gosh yes I went for Lost Prophets instead of Radiohead. Who were awesome. But Placebo, Spinnerette, t'Arctic Monkeys (though I wished they'd have played more older stuff. Don't like the new album much) pretty much fecking owned my weekend. Oh oh The Living End were fab also.
Jay Tee Had A Life Before GSB Age: 36 Gender: Male Posts: 26777	September 1st, 2009 at 12:29pm I thought Arctic Monkeys were awful really disappointed after wanting to see them for so long. Radiohead, Faith No More, The Prodigy, Anti-Flag, Frank Turner and Municipal Waste were all immense. Plus FFAF reminded me why I ever liked them - really good set, even if there was 10 minutes of silence when the whole main stage lost power xD
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362	September 1st, 2009 at 01:29pm The Prodigy actually disappointed me a bit, but that might have been because I was so far back. I wish I'd have gone to see Frank Turner, I'd love to see him. : ( Might see if I can get a ticket for the tour. But I wanted to see Tim Minchin more. Did Anti Flag start an epic circle pit like they did last year at Leeds?
