For anyone going to T in the Park

Ed you wuss, Friday night is an all night party, you're not meant to sleep

I was just there for the Sunday this year and it was superb. Couple of little rain showers made no difference and came back with a slightly burnt face despite using sun cream

Was very muddy on Fri, got the bus afterwork and theres was no queues. Got the tent up and headed for the arena. Was good to be back on the booze. Thankfully i managed to get barny to buy us some wellies or it would have been aweful. Everywhere in Edinburgh were sold out of them except one place that wanted £160 per pair.

Saw a couple of acts and then headed back to the campsite. Had the worst nights sleep every as we were surrounded by neds.... They talked/shouted and sang all night. I dont think they slept all. Their chat was many about how many Eccys they had. Other chat included, have you got any valium left and can you buy me some pills, how many you want, as many as you can get! and bucky is pure dead brilliant and i luv it, it makes me go mental!

Anyway got up early and went to the arena. Sank loads of booze and ended up back in bed around 7. It seems my body cant cope with three weeks off it. I passed out with my wellies still on and must have had a good sleep until the rank chat started again.
Then zero sleep again....

Saw loads of decent acts today but decided to call it a day around 6ish.
Probably wont do it again, certainly wont be camping again but glad i did it once. cheers

Sounds just like Louise's report on it (apart from the being drunk and early nights) ... she came home last night.

I'd second the view that it's pants.

It might be alright if you're going for fun/banter/getting pissed, etc but if you actually want to see the bands, I don't find it the best environment - far too big, crap sound.

I can, however, heartily recommend Indian Summer - much smaller scale, and you can easily get home at the end of the night (if you live in Glasgow.)

Well,

I braved the whole weekend too.

Missed all the bands on Friday because it took 10 hours to get there from Falkirk. Pitching the tent in darkness at midnight in a mud bath was not a good start.

However, for me there was one reason for going, and one only. The Killers...... and they were nothing short of Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Totally cream crackered after all that walking through mud.
