when I used to go to festivals I never took a toothbrush
let alone a tent. I used to stay up for days on end, or just kip under an army lorry or something. I also used to know people who'd take their coaches or caravans or whtever they lived in, so I would intrude on them.

I once went to a festival without a tent or sleeping bag
thinking i'd either pull some ultra hot supermodel and sleep in her tent, do massive drugs and stay up all night or sleep out in the open as it was summer and warm.
I managed to make friends with a not so hot, not supermodel, not female group. They let me stay in their tent with them but I still froze my arse off and went out the next day and bought a sleeping bag.
I went back to reading festival for the first time in years after a break to get married and have kids and I fucking hated it, its worse than it already was in the late 90's and it was shit then.

I always regarded Reading as a 3-day gig rather than a Festival with a capital F.

It's basically "my first festival"
full of kids acting like pricks, still it's easy to get to and the lineup is usually decent.

Reading gets more full of cunts with every year that passes
they had a hair straightening tent the last time I went. Hair straightening. At a festival, for fucks sake. Pretentious little trendies the lot of 'em.

Are you serious?
I would have firebombed that tent on principal.

Or wee on the straighteners
Fill the tent with the pungent aroma of your evaporating micturate and enjoy the screams as you zip the tent up and lock it with the padlock you previously stole from Al's tent.

This.
Thisthisthis. It's so annoying that there are these little teeny emo kids who religiously straighten their hair and do their makeup every day and carefully construct their outfits. Makes the rest of us look even more rough.
