Glasto 2010: Friday (day 1)
Stages are open. Rolf Harris on the Pyramid can be heard easily from our site
music and cheering everywhere at all times
dust keeps getting worse, and I haven’t seen any paths being sprayed down yet
Over-heard at the stone circle:
Albatross! Get your Albatross!
(he is actually selling bell pepper bhaji with sweet chilli sauce. They are delicious)
Did they haul you out, on a really hot day?
Saw Willie Nelson at the Pyramid. Whiskey for my head and, beer for my horse.
Gazebo frequent flier Chris was gone this morning. His grandmother died.
Saw Snoop Dogg at the Pyramid. Oh ma gee oh double-dizzle, it’s the dee oh double-gizzle!
Saw Big Pink at the Park. Proggy proggy techno prog. The Park is not amused.
Saw surprise secret sunset gig by half of Radiohead at the Park. For a minute there, I lost myself.
RH headlined the Saturday at my very first Glasto.
Second shift, 10PM to 6AM
Fortunately our gate is atop a hill, so all the drunk punters are too tired to be rowdy by the time they arrive.
Coffee and cheesy chips during 3AM break
A man ran through the barriers. Security leapt from his seat and made the tackle, but the runner got to his feet and escaped. Funny thing is, the guy had an easy-pass wristband on.
Two down.
