Glastonbury tickets still available

i'm working yay - look out for a blonde hippy working as a lollypop lady at one of the crossings - thats me. can't decide whether to take the bike or get a lift of my mates. Plus side of a lift is that I Don't have my bike gear to deal with, down side is that we'll have to sit in a massive que to get out.

Hope you all managed to get a ticket in the end! Sod the rain, just remeber to camp on the hill!

A couple of housemates volunteered as stewards last year and plan to do the same again this year, easy way into the festival side of things really, you still get to see a fair few of the bands and whatnot

I looked at the Oxfam steward route a couple of years ago. They want you to do a couple of years at Reading/WOMAD/whatever before they let you anywhere near Glastonbury and, however good a hot shower might sound, if I'm going to burn the thick end of a week's leave to go Wednesday-Monday then I'd rather spend it on my own terms than working.

I know people who've done the Workers Beer Company thing and had a great time, with full access to the backstage compound and everything, that money can't buy, but my union (when I was in one) weren't affiliated with the WBC so that was a non-starter.

It's only 160 quid and this year getting a ticket seems like a doddle (if only I'd known that at 9am) but I suppose it's a good way to let student types get in for free...

Phil, we'll have to swap numbers at some point, though I have a history of bumping into people I know unexpectedly - 175000 people on site and it's all but guaranteed you'll meet at some point, even by accident!

I'm 30 a week before so if we do meet it's gonna be messy......

Pah. Turning 30 was a piece of ... er ... a doddle. It's creeping ever-closer to 40 that sucks.
