Hang
those heels up and take out your funky wellies as it’s almost time to unleash
those tents from under the floorboards! (Why you’d hide them there in the
first place is a story for another day) ….
As the
countdown to summer festivals begins, the never ending tickets have already
started to go on sale, with Glastonbury already sold out...damn it! and the
first line up of acts are already being announced. Whoopahhh!
Being
keen festival goers ourselves, we thought we’d share with you some tips to help
you plan those fun antics ahead!...
***ATTENTION....If
‘festival talk’ has got you reaching for ear plugs and you are more passionate
about hot a shower, flushing toilets and a cosy bed; then we’d advise you to
look away now***
Do’s
- Bring
some cash... Queens heads always help
- Drink
plenty of water… dehydration stinks (not literally)
- Invest
in some sun block
- Deodorant
is a MUST
- Perhaps
decorate your tent so you recognise it...You don't want to find yourself
in someone else's tent (or do you) after stumbling around responsibly sloshed .... now that
would be, erm, tres awkward.
- Take
some loo rolls and wet wipes! Portoloo’s are the things nightmares are
made of!
- Don't
want to shell out for on expensive festival foods?... Pack snacks and
cereal bars and a stove and pan and cook for yourself.
- Camp
near enough to the loo's so you won’t end up wetting yourself but stay far
enough so that you can't smell them!
Dont's
- Don't
just stick to alcohol... alcohol plus sun means you might find yourself
meeting your mates outside the recovery tents...trust me I've been there
and it isn’t pretty!
- Don’t
pack too much makeup... keep it minimal as it’s the last thing you'll be
bothered about.
- Don't
Smugly smile out from the VIP area to those who haven't washed...people
will think you are a twat!
- Do
not wear a jesters hat...no, just no!
You know you're doing it right when.....
- You
wake up the next day in one of the music tents instead of your own.
- You
wake up butt-naked but body-painted from head to ankles
- It's
8am and you're shouting "one more tune!" to the DJ
- You lose your friends in a chaotic mosh pit
You know you're doing it wrong when.....
- After
the final act you head back to your tent and tuck yourself into your
sleeping bag.... like, seriously dood?
- You
wake up at day-break with NO hangover and wanting a nice
breakfast...*rolls eyes*
- Your
friends ask you to hold their phones/camera. No... the only thing you
should be carrying is a drink in your hand.
- You
constantly try to call home to let family know you are still alive.
