My thoughts:
Absolutely loved it! If it wasnt for the mud this would have been the best year yet, but unfortunately the lack of being able to sit down and chill, especially at ID spiral which is where i spend most of my daytime means that last year is still tops for me. Of course this isnt the organisers fault though!
Security were fine and decent, happy and cheerful from what i saw. I didnt see any dodgy security unlike last year. Police seemed to have fucked off by friday night
(might have been due to the weather and having to sort out other places).
I loved how no one gave a shit about the weather and carried on regardless, despite me having cuts and blisters on my toes and feet now...we came up with a new word..you dont "stomp" at the glade this year, you "squotch"
We were actually glad when it rained again on saturday as it made the ground easier to move through. The liquid tent seemed to live up to its name literally and the area around there was stupidly trecharous, especially at 4am in the morning when everyone is a bit spangled, its like robots in slow motion going through that bit.
Algorithm seemed interesting, if a little weird. I loved nectar temple though, we saw some crazy shamanism film there on the friday night and saw a bit of a speaker on the sunday i think it was. I dont really believe in the things the guy was talking about but i found it interesting to hear other peoples views on things (he was going on about consciousness "flowers" and how we are all connected at the root
). Does anyone know where i can download or watch the films shown at nectar temple? I'd love to be able to watch them in my own time.
Sound levels were fantastic as usual, i dont understand peoples gripes with them...maybe my ears are supersensitive or just not fucked enough yet
I do think Overkill should be bigger though, we never went in the techno tent but really wanted to gabba the night away but couldnt because the place was so rammed.
Waterpoints again mysteriously vanished from the map despite them promising they would be down by the stages...fairly annoying.
To wrap up though i had an amazing weekend, saturday night was the first time i tried mdma and absolutely loved it, krafty kuts and ali b were amazing! Despite being a bit of a psy head we spent a lot of time in the breaks because it was just so much fun...even other stages seemed to be playing a lot of breaks. Rex and Mood Deluxe were awesome at liquid.
one last thing..did Atomic Hooligan actually play? I really wanted to see them but when we went over i think dreadzone were still playing
