Glade 2007

[granddad]

Are you allowed kids at glade this year? and is there still a no 12-18 thing or whatever it was.

Cutest memory of glade was my 1st year me and dave saw a 2 year old boy in a nappy with fairy wings carrying a nitrous dispencer just playing around. so wrong but soooo cute.

 

[Grobert]

yeah, under 13 allowed, 13-17 not allowed.

haha thats a class rule for a festival

 

[Hedonistic Angel]

Bizzare.....

 

[RainbowDrops]

Propper hippy festival rules though!
Bring the family, but no teenager who might get up to no good! :D

 

[Grobert]

It is quite funny seeing little 5 year olds running round having the time of their life, but for lots of the hippy families they grow up with festivals so it's no big deal.

Also, what is your avatar from? It's annoyingly familiar.

Bizzare.....

Any under-12 has to be accompanied by an adult, & of course an 18-year old IS an adult in the eyes of the law. In between is no-man's land really, so the organisers are just covering their asses.

Ralph Lawson is an absolute legend and the band are almost as ass-shakingly good.

Looks like I'm going to be Panzing it up all night long :D

Taking kids to festivals is selfish and wrong IMO.

 

[B9]

^ Why ?


It depends upon which festival in my opinion. Certainly it would be selfish to take them to something like T in the park.

 

[duck_racer]

^Yeah it's great having so many families at Glastonbury

 

[B9]

^ Never been to the place, don't really harbour any great desire to go either.

I hate having kids about be when I'm battered, it just feels so wrong.

I was at The Radio 1 One Big Weekender in Sunderland with about a half gram of MDMA and three pills down my neck, getting buckled to a various number of DJs in torrential rain/high winds/thunder/hailstone to name a few extreme weather conditions.

I was standing in the queue for the portaloos (completely in bits, jaw tremors the lot) when one of about 4 girls infront of me asked me why my lips had gone blue (just a little bit wrecked) and my face was doing "that". I replied that they just go like that sometimes to which they replied "are you on ecstacy". Yes, I replied, I'm absolutely fucked. It was at that point I looked up to realise they were about 9 years old, a fuck load of random parents/people had just turned round (policeman were also standing meters away) to look at me in horror when one of them said "can you get us some".

I turned round, bolted from the queue and legged it into the crowd as fast as I could. I couldn't run properly, I was nearly falling over and almost shit myself everytime I seen a kid trying to find my mates stumbling through the crowd. Then some charvers started laughing at me and one of them tried to nick my hat.

TRAUMATISED.

Needs must sometimes.


That sounds quite heartless actually. Actually it is quite heartless.

 

[Miss Peks]

Some festivals are catered for children, usually outdoor psy events. Others though like say Global Gathering I wouldn't bring my child to, but hey who am I to judge?

 

[B9]

Kids loved the sunrise festival , loads for them to do etc, wanted to go back.

Depends on what's provided for them really in the way of entertainments etc.


The last word in last words

 

[Grobert]

I dunno, it never seemed too weird the kids at Glade. there were not that many though.
