...when it's on the way out of glastonbury. EIGHT HOURS we sat in traffic, EIGHT HOURS! All cos some selfish bastards had had the temerity to crash their cars on the way off-site. Anyway, a lovely time was had by all, hello to lovely sini-peeps i met, Sean, Paul, Lixi, Cress, Ian, and slight admonishments to those too shy to come and play, we don't bite, you know :) GOOD BITS Flaming Lips - yes, i know, not staggeringly original, but they are GRATE aren't they. I hadn't realised the drums were on tape, the visuals and the band's sheer charm just like blew me away and stuff DAY-VID BOWIE - was also fookin' grate, all the hits etc, ziggy PLAAAAAAAYYYY-ED GEEEEEEEEE-TAAAAAAAAA-HAH Wheat - were surprisingly good, before the lips, mmmmmmm american rock The 100 foot inflatable dragon and carnival parade - just as i hit the break from my first bar shift a large multi-coloured dragon came towards me (no, really). This was one of those classic glasto moments, with hundreds of confused punters going what the FUCK is this????!!?! Billy Bragg - who i passed just after the inflatable dragon. He was hanging out with Boris Johnson (editor of right-wing rag The New Statesman) doing stuff for the beeb. Badly Drawn Boy - doing Aidan Moffatt impressions Working the bars - which was actually fun and more importantly gave me access to SPECIAL CLEAN TOILETS (woohoo). I also realised that rather than the beer coming from barrels, it comes straight from a 30 ton tanker. oh and sunshine, obviously BAD BITS The Bloke in the tent next to us - who had the loudest snore in the world ever, when he started i was sure i was being attacked by some rabid pig dog from hades Rain - but only on thursday, so not that bad :) Feet - hurting, lots Toploader - Shiteloader more like, S*mply R*d for the new millennium Pathetic tent robbery - we had six tops, thirty cigarettes and some underpants nicked from our tent, but they left the sleeping bags, booze and drugs (hayfever tablets and some naughty drugs too). Twee robbery or what. Yorkshire Pie and Peas - not having any Mrs Carsmile is putting the photos in today and i'll scan them in at some point (I'll get those 2000TT ones processed eventually as well). Roll on Reading, that's what I say :) Enough about me, how was your weekend? xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
