so yeah, i had a great time drinking ice cold Tuborg at 14 for 30 (with a 3 refund on the empty bottles & crate!) and vodka, and Jaigermeister, and Biters, and anything else i was given, i went into the pit during the Duran Duran set (they were on at 1am, i'd been drinking for 13 hours, it seemed like the sensible thing to do) i saw the Game get drunk and call 50 cent a homo, then play the same set twice because he was out of songs (as he rode around the stage on a bicycle. im not a big fan of that style of hip hop, but it was amusing) Green day were amazing, as were evil nine, who played to a pritty empty tent, the whole experiance was amazing, and the the festival so well thought out. I felt less like i was in a refugee camp, just there to pay rediculus ammounts of money for shitty burgers and beer (coughglastonburycoughreading) and more like i was in a holiday camp where everyone wanted to have a good time and get everyone else drunk and high. I'd reccomend it to anyone.
in other news today i returned to work to be told i was on "Gardening leave", meaning no more work for Phillyo!
