Ahh bum, my mate ended up in there enough times as well!

Had a great time this year, weather was lovely on the whole and people & place were excellent. Couple of problems though, heard some stories of heavy-handed security from a couple mates, definitely need more water points near the stages, and most of all the volume. It did seem like there were problems in overkill Friday as things kept fluctuating, but it was pretty quiet all weekend later on.

On the plus side with that though, we had a natter with an old lady who lives about 2 miles up the road from the site on the Monday. She says normally she complains about the noise, but she wasn't even aware it was on until she saw us all going home! Still, if she wasn't noticing it during the day either...

Edit: Have I never made a post on here before? Could have sworn I did last year!

I quite liked having 'come n play' nr the quiet camping - by time I was sleeping was too smashed for it to keep me awake - and was nice to have some background tunes while refueling back at the tent.

This was first glade, we came all the way from Malta for it but it was dam worth it :clever:

pros....

Atmosphere (the best I ever experienced at a festival)
The lovely happy people
Music
great variety of food stalls
The camps being very close the arenas, so you don't have to walk much to your tent. This really helps especially when your totally wasted.
In Spiral
no long ques at the bars

cons...

not much really,

perphas the sound levels on Friday night.
And It will be nice if they let the In spiral run at least till midnight on Sunday


I will defently return for Glade 2009, and already counting the days to be back :panic:

3rd time in a row for me, and it was.....fuckin great!
The Orb,
CJ Bolland,
Jeff Mills,
Friction,
etc....etc...

No Mud, good!
saw some friends from previous Glades, and plenty new ones: Rolly (not from Wales), you star*, Chris from Aus, thanks, you know..... the 2 Girrrls from New Delhi: sorry for losing your hat...:(
And to everyone who camped near the Mad orange Russian tent....Sorry! "BRICK INSIDE" (we found a brick on friday and it was our tents best friend)
Here is a big tip: if you want to make sure you dont get fucked over next year then just camp near us, we have Proper Russians:) (and if you beleive that then I will see you next year...)

P.S. Thankyou to Amin and all the AAA crew, without you lot....xxxx

I didn't go to the first one, but i definitely remember Sancho Y Panza having a tent there and some big electronica acts playing in the main stage. Remember at the time it having a similar style ethos to glade at glastonbury, psy trance, breaks, electronica, techno and then house and chill out stuff.

Had a great time and all my friends did too!

Pros:

1. Sound much better than 07.
2. DJ Scotch Egg. Always delivers the goods! Jeff Mills was pretty good too from what I can rememeber (see point 7 and 8.)
3. Heard tons of great music by artists I'd never heard of. Who needs expensive headliners?
4. Great vibes, nice people.
5. Weather.
6. Toilets. Well those near my camp were ok anyway.
7. Getting totally spangled on saturday night.
8. The camomile tea a random girl kindly shared with me to help with spangleness!


Minor Cons:

1. Alcohol policy.
2. Security searches are getting way over the top even for theatre.
3. My same yearly complaint: I want 3 full days of music, not 2 plus an afternoon. I buy my ticket knowing this is the situation but it still hacks me off every year.
4. Lack of decor. Origin stage looked neglected and unfinished.
5. Autechre. Complete darkness? Despite great music I just got bored and left.
6. A lot of fence jumpers this year. Could watch them coming in.

See you next year!
