Random festival memories...
I think festivals tend to be a 'you had to be there' type thing, and the bulk of my festival memories are feeling the effects of narcotics and time but these are some of the snippets that survive in my murk that is my brain...

Totally fucked guy (really really badly wankered) asking at around 10 in the morning "Have you seen a green tent?" poor fucker looked like he'd been searching all night
"yeah mate, I think its over there" while pointing in a random direction

Young girl (around 15/16) sobbing as her friends looked on while her father simultaneously bollocked her for coming to the festival (Reading late 90s early 00s I think) while throwing her belongings into the back of his BMW (Somehow he managed to get security to allow him onto the campsite with the car)

Being shouted at by some 'performance artist' on stilts. Don't know why.

Stepping on human shit complete with bog roll while nipping back to the car (some dirty fucker had decided that next to the drivers door of a fiesta is better than risking the portaloos - fair enough actually)

Some scary looking punk taking a dislike to me while watching Rancid. He got me onto the floor and I remember looking up and seeing the sole of a foot coming towards my face. I turned my head and thought "Fuck, this is going to hurt..."
It didn't so I got up. Not responding in the accepted manner to being kicked stamped on seemed to worry Mr Scary Punk Man so he melted back into the crowd, and carried on jumping up and down like a loon

Falling asleep and missing Frank Blacks set after going on about wanting to see him all weekend.

The Prodigy being unexpectedly shit

The Beastie Boys being unexpectedly awesome

Some random in the next tent pissing into a Sunny Delight bottle, and it being the same colour as Sunny Delight. He was very proud.

A rumour going round the campsite on the last day that Cilla Black and Jeremy Beadle had both been killed in a car crash (Beadle was very much alive at this point of human history)

The sound of a couple going at it very vocally with the male partner screaming "BANANARAMA!!!" at the point of climax.
"BANANARAMA!!!" was subsequently shouted at random intervals throughout the campsite over the weekend...

...and saw some bands, drunk some drink, drugged some drugs...
