The Smell

Postby 9preciousGems » 23 Jul 2008, 15:41

the vinegary smell in the music tents was horrid. Can anything be done about this or is it something to do with the farm?

It's something to do with haveing thousends of people sweating their tits off inside them, the same happened at bangface weekender but it was even more pungent.

Smelt the same as the weekender to me. Stale sweat mixed with stale beer, fucking filth, it's this non smokeing aspect stale smoke is a lot easyier to handle then that aweful pong.

Well it was cluttering a thread that wants to be kept as uncluttered as possible and lots of people are talking about it so I split it :wackyhat:

It smelt more like sewage to me than body odour.

Any little accidents with the shit truck emptying the Portaloos perhaps?
Top one. Nice one. Get sorted.

If you have any useless mates who are still dithering about coming to Glade, show them this article: http://www.ravetalk.co.uk/glade-festival-2009.shtml

Vinegary is a good description. I put it down to a combination of stale cider and dry ice. It seemed quite bad on a night when the fog machines were going flat out.

I noticed it most in the glade stage on sunday, tho i thought some of it was just me having dust and crap(not actual poo) stuck up my nose from 3 days of raving with lots of dust around. I think sewage is a closer description as i really wouldnt like that smell to be on my chips, maybe ive just been getting really nice vinegar.

Yeah Breaksday definately smelt the worst, it was like walking in to a seriously dodgy cider brewery :sick:

But did anyone notice the bouncy floor in Overkill? You could literally bounce up and down on it, and it did not smell good in there either; i'm not sure i even want to know what was underneath...
