Download 2009, any orgers going?

I hate the idea of camping in a crowded field and not washing for 3 days straight and having to take dumps in overfilled portable toilets, and probably getting half your stuff nicked from your tent.

You havn't lived its awesome... some of the goings on are so funny!

The toilets were really good at download last year, I only encountered dirty ones on the last night which is to be expected. Nothing has ever been nicked from my tent in the 7 years I've been going to festivals.

I like Motley Crue but I doubt anyone could seriously claim that Vince Neil is a good singer.

Camping at festivals is the highest level of human civilisation. 70000 ****ed idiots, fire, drink, drugs, all policed by gutter sweepings in hiviz, and yet there's only ever a couple of deaths. Imagine putting that lot in the middle of your average town centre and see what happens.

I LOVE festivals

Castle Park Rock for me

Its the random chants at various hours of the night/early morning. that make me smile..usually at download its... "TIIIMMMAYYYHHHHHH" and the sing alongs that happen, last download i went to everyone was singing "whats that coming over the hill, is it a monster!"

For some reason, at my first Reading it was Spandau Ballet all weekend. "GOLD!"
