Festivals

Having an 18 month old son makes Glastonbury a little adventurous for me so after several years I gave it a miss this year. To keep in the festival spirit we bought day tickets for Zoo8 instead, a festival on land owned by Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.

It was a bit crap really. We got there at 1030am and had to queue until 1pm. None of the stewards seemed to have any idea what was going on, they had about ten people administering wrist bands for several thousand people and each one took a good 2/3 minutes. Yesterday people queued for 5 hours and I imagine it was the same for the people 'way' back behind us. On top of that a load of bands cancelled with one act alluding to the promoter as a 'c**t'. I'd probably ask for my money back (or at least a refund for the excessive queuing) if I thought I had the slightest chance of getting it. Perhaps Glastonbury spoils a person...too much of a good thing etc. After all, Eavis gets 160,000+ people in there and I can't remember having to queue for anything except the odd clean portaloo...

We went to the animal park to cool off. It was great!
