the official statement on glade according to me
Thursday morning started very busily.... last year we walked straight in and pitched up wherever we wanted.... fuck me there was shit loads of people already there this year and it seemed straight away not as cheilled as it was in 2006.
Luckily enough we had some space reserved that was on high ground which turned out to be a god-send when the rains started on the thursday night (and never stopped until friday lunchtime!!) our site never really flooded properly and as far as some of the worst hit plafces looked we were fine (god thank the gazebo too which tunred into our own make-shift tent for getting fuck in :D
being in a nice Ketted state for the most part of the rain meant despite it being a proper fucking downpour I expected things to pick up when it did eventually stop.
seeing as it flooded the whole site, completely ruining some peoples campsites and flooding some of the stages out completely I may as well just list the pros and cons of this years glade-
The company

Evad and granddad made sitting in the same place for about 14 hours on our campsite an infinate amount of fun. things got uber wonky and very interesting!! THe company in gerneral was awesome. Despite my only trip down to get wellies on the first day the atmosphere in camp bluelight was spot on. Loads of ketted up wonky wrong'ens and the aid of lots of nitrous meant hours of fun

didn't bump into that many randoms but we seemed to be surrounded by a shed load of sound people who made it all worth while. Everyone in camp blucelight was fucking spot on... cant be arsed to list names but everyone was as sound as could be... as were all the visitors

proper top crowd.
Seeing as we stayed up all night thursday and the rivers runnning through the site on the saturday it meant a distinct lack of people around the tents etc on the frida. I'd writted off friday by the stage and just got battred on load of 2cb, mdma and K. Wandered about with evad and grandand and had a fucking spot on time.
Friday night they finally opened the overkill stage and I trundled down to get my bangface on......... what a fuicking waste of time. Music quiter than my ipod and a crowd moodier than a bunch of yardie badmen with comedowns on the blob. Then getting started on cos we were dressed as old bill was a fucking joke and I'd had enough to leave the festival at this point.
Tried to re-compose myself and get back into the swing of things and just ended up getting even more fucked in camp bluelight instead :D
spent the rest of the time getting fucked in camp bluelight... wandering around to get more drugs and the odd bit of food.
The music was waaaaaay too quite. dont hire fucktion one if your not gonna use it... whats the fucking point.
Dont hire security who are gonna steal drugs off the innocent and totally ignore all the shady dealers without armbands who had clearly jumped the fences.
This years drug policy meant a roulette on all drugs bought, loads of shit pills and nothing reqally decent and cheap at all... certainly nothing exotic going around at all...... just lots of mysetery pills, random powders and dodgy fucker trying their luck. Well done glade on ensuring people got sold dody shit all weekend.
All I actually managed to hear was half the snares set which he gave up on half way through... not other big names at all. I got about 10 blisters from the wellies and couldn't walk all of yesterday.
I've come to the decision mud fucking sucks, undancable, uncomfortable and waste of time trying to get into the swing of things.
Lots fo the bluelighters had an amazing time..... I had a great time with the people I was with, but overall for what I paid for and what I got a 5/10 wast the best I could rate it.
Given the chance I would do it gaain, but just for the amazing trips I had with some of the soundest people on the planet.
left early on sunday and went home and had a proper curry and a good nights sleep.
Today I am at worked blued up making the most of things
Much love to all that made it and had an awesome time, and I will be seeing you all agin at some point soon!!! :D:D
The organisers did thier best, but lest be honest you cannot prepare for the disaster of what happeneded rain wise but the council are cunts about the sound levels...... as for the security, cunts is the only word to describe them
Big up the hardcore massive, and I'll see you all next year!!! (even if it is at my house and not glade
(I've missed up loads of thankyous and big-ups but I'm fucked.... if you haven't been mentioned it cos I'm battered, not cos you have been forgotton

)
