Glastonbury 2007 – A year to forget
Glastonbury 2008 – A year to remember
Thankfully id-iom have managed to get their hands on tickets for Glastonbury again this year and I thought it might be appropriate to craft a small memento commemorating past years. I have been fortunate enough to attend all available festivals since my first attendance as a festival virgin in 2000 – and have thoroughly enjoyed every one come rain or shine…
With it being held in the UK the one thing you can never guarantee is the weather and regardless of whether it’s glorious sunshine or raining cats and dogs there is always superior levels of amusement to be had. In fact I perversely enjoy the inclement weather somewhat as it really does sort the men from the boys. In 2007 we had the torrential rain for pretty much the entire festival (just like in 2005!) which left the site like some apocalyptic swampland. Then a year later it’s blazing sunshine and tans all round.
Both pictures are based on a photograph of me enjoying the comfort of a pile of rubbish whilst sheltering from the blazing sun under an umbrella I’d found lying around. It probably prevented me from getting sunstroke that year…
They are both A3 in size and signed on reverse. Here are the Ebay links:

After finally getting home at about midnight on Monday i’m just about feeling recovered now. Glasto was, as ever, fantastic and a good time was had by all. The boundless sun has even allowed me to come home with a tan to cover up the otherwise pallid skin i would have had after 3 such days in a field…
We took a load of stencils and bits of cardboard with us and proceeded to put them up whilst extremely drunk. This led to some good placements but unfortunately we neglected to take photo’s at the time and then couldn’t remember where they were when we attempted to go back…
I think we had better try to be a little more organised next year!
Cheers

We’ve been hard at work in the lab coming up with some bits and pieces for Glastonbury (and i’m beginning to get a little excited now!) We are off tomorrow morning and have just about got everything sorted (for once). As i didn’t want to spoil the surprise i thought a couple of teaser shots would be in order.
Hopefully the next you will see of them will be at Glastonbury! Bring on Stevie Wonder!
Cheers
