Last year
Me mate was working for (and still does) a posh tent company that does posh tents.
They'd had one of their big bastard teepee things (actually 3 of them) ordered by VFestival peeps and needed 2 workers to supervise the thing throughout the event.
"Wanna come V?" quoth the Donnyland.
"Aye" says I.
So off we trot on the motormerways to V, where the teepees had already been erected (snigger).

And so I had 3 days of sitting, free food on occasion and a bit of beer at times. Yay! I saw Duffy skittering about on the stage with a very short skirt in the blustery wind. I seen that Verve and Amy Winehorse.

We, of course, had a 'Backstage' pass to the crappy 'VIP' area with inflatable cushions and shiz, mainly so we could check the tent to make sure it wasn't going all collapsey.
It wasn't that exclusive but I saw... That twat off skins who I don't like the face of (not that he can't be spotted around Bristol that often) and that Rugby player I can't remember the name of - oh I just have: Danny Cipiranni... and that bird off of Gavin and Stacey that I didn't recognise because I've never seen it, and...
PDiddy! He's well short, and was getting some free grilled chicken.
I do not lie. It was free, too.

And I ripped one of my prized tshirts on a security fence, and then got moved on by some silly tart with a clipboard as they were about to open the area to annoying little scallies who were going to come in and make the place look funky, and didn't want to see sweaty, ripped tshirt workers hanging around.

Shit story, but meh - I went to a festival for free. Not bad, considering I'm not really bothered about music anyway.
