Glastonbury Festival - highly valuable cheap items

As you'll no doubt be aware, this weekend is Glastonbury Festival.

A funny thing happens at Pilton Farm, for this weekend only, certain items will become worth their weight in gold at this music festival. Use this as a sort of beginners guide to Glastonbury, or a useful check list of what to take for Glastonbury Virgins...



(1.) Toilet Paper
Lets get this one out of the way first. It seems that no-one is able to write about Glastonbury without mentioning the toilets. You'll need to remember your own TP, or beg/borrow/steal* some.

* don't steal kids, it's wrong.

(2.) Cold Cans of Beer
The sun will come out at some point, heating up your tent and heating up that crate of Stella that you used for a pillow last night. Somehow, someone, somewhere has COLD cans of beer, the holy grail. How have they managed that? You've got no idea, but it tastes sooo good.

(3.) Wellington Boots
It will be sunny at some point, but it will also rain, lots. With thousands of people walking over the grass, it soon turns into knee deep mud. Wellies will save you from the dreaded trenchfoot!

(4.) Schedule/Programme
Everyone gets given one on their way into the festival, but everyone loses them. If you want to know who's next appearing on the JazzWorld Stage, you'll need to nestle up next to your neighbour and take a look at their schedule. Be prepared to get close, they come on little lanyard things, and people are unwilling to take theirs off from around their neck, in case they lose them, like you did with yours!

(5.) Phone Battery
The king of kings, phone battery. You set off from your house with 100% battery, brilliant you think. Getting excitable on the drive to Somerset you check the weather, text your friends, update your facespace with who you're looking forward to seeing. You check out the rumours of Daft Punk or David Bowie* playing secret sets. You check out the latest happenings at Wimbledon, apparently all the favourites are getting knocked out?! Suddenly you're down to 72% battery already. The first night you phone around a few friends, you arrange to meet up at the big stage "near the right", can't find them and phone them a few times again. You're down to 37%, it's still only the first day! Phone battery towards the end of the festival is a rare thing, befriend those who have it. Leave it too late however, and it's useless, who else are you going to phone, their phone went flat on the first day!

* I saw David Bowie headline Glastonbury in 2000, it was pretty much the best gig I've ever been to, if he plays this year and I miss it, I'll be gutted. Fact.

New Post, New Look Blog, New Logo, Same Old Warwick Witter!

You may have noticed our new design of our blog, and our brand new logo.

New Logo and Twitter Avatar

I think it's amazing! I hope you agree. It was created for us by ThrillstarDesign , they're a new graphic design studio based here in Warwick. I know it seems a bit over the top to get an avatar and twitter banner (see below) created for you by a design studio, but it was only a few quid and looks fantastic!

Twitter Banner

ThrillstarDesign are on twitter @thrillsdesign, and are very quick at getting back to you to answer your questions or queries or to give you updates. I really cannot recommend them enough!

Or perhaps the reason we got on so well, is due to our mutual love of stars! :)

 

So, what do people think, do they prefer the new WW or the old WW logo?
