Introduce yourself

Mandypants · #1 28-09-2009, 11:40 PM

I reckon a new forum needs an introduction thread, so here you go.

My name is Mandy and I live in the North East. I went to my first Glastonbury this year and I'm hooked and very keen to go back in 2010.

Hello

MimiMagoo · #2 29-09-2009, 09:17 AM

Hi Mandy & everyone else.

First Glasto was either 2002 or 2003, apologies memory is not wonderful. Have been taking my son since he was 5 and he's now 11.

First band I ever saw at Glasto was The Darkness opening the Pyramid stage on the Friday morning. Best band that year was definately Damien Rice with Lisa Hannigan. Best band ever at Glasto for me was Biffy Clyro.

Even the couple of shocking years of weather, Glasto was still the best week of my year.

David · #3 29-09-2009, 10:13 AM

Hello all.

My first Glasto was 1998, been to every one since with the exception of 2002.

After being in Pennards in 2005, I bought a 'van and have never looked back, even if it does mean climbing the Hill Of Death every day...

Blanny · #4 29-09-2009, 11:28 AM

Now then, my names Andy, make the treck from Hull every year since 2003 and never looked back

Main problem for me is the 4th October is when i get married, obviously didn't have enough to do, where the slaps forehead smiley?

Take it easy...

mou · #5 29-09-2009, 12:21 PM

Hi, I'm Chris (or Mou) and I'm a Glastoholic. Does anyone feel like these intro threads start sounding like the opening of an AA meeting?

First year was 2004, been every year since. I'm a bit of a serial photographer at festivals and I tend to mail them back to Flickr while I'm there (am I the only person on O2 who had reception this year?) so its possible you've seen a few of my photos scattered about on various news sites over the past few years.

So yeah. I've admitted I have an addiction. Thats the first step, right?

webstl · #6 29-09-2009, 12:40 PM

Yello! Im Leon and Im from Leicester, My first glasto was when I was 8 in the early 80's. went till I was about 12 with my 'rents friends. '92 was the first one I went to off my own back. Been every year since apart from '93 (not sure why) and '95 (was in canada) and plan to carry on going as long as I possibly can

Buffystar · #7 29-09-2009, 12:43 PM

I am Mick been to every glasto since 94 except 98 was down Falklands. Was at the #twisto 2009 but had to go and meet some mates (who didn't turn up !!)

Hash4Cash · #8 29-09-2009, 12:46 PM

Ive been going since 1982, yea thats 1982 and ive only missed one in that time. I now work at the festi on Info.

yea it amazes me that forums that are dedicated to Glastonbury and it eths can and do start wars with each other.

Ive liked this site for a couple of years and have used it lots. Im so pleased they have started a forum.

stinkywitch · #19 29-09-2009, 04:50 PM

I met you in 2004, it was at a board meet at the jazz field (we think, lost a few brain cells over the years) My fella Matty opened you baccy tin upside down and the beloved contents went everywhere,

you still went back to your tent for us. Many thanks lol.
we had a shared forum account under the name whatMe.

steamrunner · #26 29-09-2009, 08:33 PM

Hi all!

Some of you who are on Twitter and were at Twisto will know me as Steamrunner. The rest of you (the more sensible bunch, probably) can alternatively use Scott. I've only done Glasto twice, in 2008 and 2009. I'm hoping 2010 will complete my first trilogy...

S.

richhall · #28 30-09-2009, 10:34 PM

Hi, my name is Richard (most call me Rich). I was a Glasto virgin in 2009 loved it and hoping to get tickets again for 2010 (alarm set for Sunday morning). I found Glasto to be the best festival experience I've had apart from the hill of death and then long walk back to the van every night.

Oh and I'm another Yorkshire person so - ehy up

Durkin · #29 01-10-2009, 12:48 AM

I remember the Glastofest site. Well, I remember various searches on Google bruoght your site up with a "This website may damage your computer" warning! I actually created an account to try and let you know, but couldn't find contact details anywhere on the site. Did you get that sorted in the end?

lorylooove · #31 01-10-2009, 09:08 PM

Hey everybody!

I'm Lory from Brazi and I'm gonna try to come to the festival for the first time next year! wish me luck!!! \o/

GlastoWatch · #32 01-10-2009, 09:13 PM

Good luck Lory.

One of these days, I'm going to get myself down to your carnival!

sisterofmercy · #36 02-10-2009, 08:54 PM

Hey guys,
I'm Maddie from Bristol town, been going to Glasto for the past 2 years but have been raised on the obsession since birth pretty much. I can't wait until next year, am planning on using it to celebrate the end of my A Levels!

Hey man, yeah I got hacked basically. My blog had to be completely restarted as a conseqence, I lost all my archives, and consequently all my link back to my sites. I seem to have recovered ok, but If I wouldn't have been hacked I think my site would be pretty popular right now.

Shame but life's a bitch.
