Glade kicked ass! Saw some FW folks althought i had eaten a bar of chocolate that may have been affecting my ability to converse hehe You are all loverly and funny and awsome.

ID Spiral.... gotta be said they were glade for me. I Spent the majority of my time bimbling about the spiral area and in the dome tent dancing. Nick Interchill and RaNDom were absofugginglutly fantastic.

Also the staff that ran the Spiral bit were all kick ass, friendly welcoming happy people and id like to give them a big up!

Sick Rebel.... !!!!!!!!!!

Pitch Black... Phwaoooorrr. Wonky Squad.... brilliant. DJ Friction... heavy!

IDM and saterday in the tent with the decks in the spiral area...

What a Glade. Very Happy

I got home about 2 hours ago having lost Monday somewhere. By far my favourite festie of the year, any year. Amazing people, fabulous atmosphere. Highlights for me were DJ Friction and The Orb. My knees hurt but I can't think of a better reason to ache Very Happy

Aw Bless at Joys comment

its true. i exploded while the pussy parlour cabaret was on cos i couldnt take any more!

i need pizza

What an awesome festival! Best Glade that I've been to and one of my favourites ever. Liked that it was less crowded, we even had room for a swimming pool at the camp Very Happy

Didn't catch many of the acts, but enjoyed what I did hear, although the sound really wasn't up to what I'd expect.
Special mention to the Pussy Parlure cabaret, which was spectacularly amazing, a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

Big thanks to Joyous for all the effort she put in to the FW camp and to all those who helped Very Happy

And congratulations to WNC for the most impressive falling down of the weekend Laughing

All of what he said yes

And Stoo's falling down was superb thumbs up

i concur with everything Sy said yes

and thanks to Sy to too as I couldn't have done the camp without him and the willing carriers!

As for stoos falling, yes he was on form and i think im lucky i only suffered a slightly bent tent pole!!!

my fotos are up on face book, dying to see everyone elses!

not looking foward to the work experience in not so many hours Sad

lotsa love to the glade 2008 posse xxx

Hehe - I had forgto about that - there was about 2 hours where I fell over many times.

I blame the wonky world

Hi everyone, I stole Stripeyhat and Steffan off you and made them camp with us wave

I had a pink tutu with fairy lights in, you might have seen me.
Totally the best Glade ever, so sad it's over Sad

I have annual Glade flu and boyfriend has labyrinthitus but it was worth it.
Lunar- I think we have a Gaudi cd after seeing them in '06. Pm me so I remember.

Total amazing festival, everyone was wicked, beautiful and made me laugh constantly. Had some very interesting and insightful conversations with people, and danced my socks off!

I thought the sound wasn't bad at all, as long as you got a sweet spot, except it should have been louder perhaps, and for some reason Gaudi's set was massivly too quiet and sounded over-driven and distorted, why didn't one of the engineers do something about it?, grrrr.

Well, we had a great time, as usual, and the weather was great...

Shame I didn't get to meet more FW bods but the ones I did see were lervely.

Bring on next year.

it was a brilliant year. admittedly the sound level was inexcusable AT TIMES, a lot of the time it was also ridiculously good tho. standing right in front of one of the main stage funktion 1 stack for jeff mills was fucking immense.

friday
saw the first 20 mins or so of tomb crew, playing some dubstep at first but i missed the rest of their set - was looking forward to seeing a blend of styles as i've heard they do.
i'm checking the line up now and it doesn't seem as if i really saw any other music on the friday...that happens at glade. but i managed to miss warlock, ben pest, luke's anger, and the whole fucking bangface evening. from the reports though, the volume was much too low to be appreciated, and luckily i'd seen remarc a month or two ago. having said that i was surprised to see someone really good in the breaks tent - andrea lai was playing some absolutely sick ragga breaky garagey stuff, well done that man.

saturday
the only thing i saw before i was working 5 - 11 30 saturday night was cassetteboy and dj rubbish, absolutely ridiculous business just involving a pre recorded set and two men dressed as monkeys miming to the cut u-p samples, fellating each other and performing stripteases before giving way to some full on simian intercourse. i still caught loads of good music during work, taking 'fag breaks' every twenty minutes to go and shock out with a joint to vex'd, drop the lime, and the bug with daddy freddy. only bits and pieces, but the bit of vex'ds set i saw was fucking unreal, they dropped dakimh - done when i walked into the tent - great moment.
after work i wandered around near claude vonstroke but i had some sort of mission at hand so i didn't listen properly, returned to the glade stage later to be absolutely destroyed by jeff mills. destroyed.
really gutted i missed ital tek and distance, they were clashing but i saw NEITHER of them Neutral

sunday
finally saw lots of music.
loved elemental, he got the place moving which was well done considering his was the first set of the sunday.
i saw some of ulrich schnauss, amazing considering i've been into his stuff for years and had never imagined getting to see him live - epic, dawnbreaking music.
dj/rupture clashed with caspa and rusko, but he was absolutely amazing!
the orb was amazing for the half an hour that i witnessed, SO happy to have finally heard alex paterson live.
i was also looking forward to the return of red snapper - they were good, but not as dancey and jungley as i was hoping for (eg. the tunnel, though they may have played it later); they seem to be going for a more traditional band set up now, guitar solos and everything!
droon played some rather messy breakcore rave stuff, so pleased i got to hear his classic CRIPPLE FIGGGGHTTTTT tune in the flesh. horrible stuff. wish i'd seen iration steppas afterwards - it would have been the perfect antidote.
i have to say though - clark!!!!! absolutely incredible, from techno to gabber to breakcore to jungle. the final 40 mins of the festival that i witnessed were his, apart from running into the breaks tent afterwards to hear plastician and nomad say goodbye to the sound of japan.

What an amazing experience,..... Glade was just tops for dancing, even for a nonmuntered person, ...can't comment on the technical side but am in love with ace -ventura, and still have Jeff Mills set bouncing around in my head. Found something great in every tent from Zubzub in liquid,plump djs and Stanton Warriors in Breaksday, ...Dubfire... in fact just too much to remember, sensory overload. Had to just dance my little socks and Wellies off wherever I went. And of course agree wholeheartedly with special thanks to Joy for making everyone so welcome and for the huge effort to make the camp special. Which it was , a SPECIAL camp full of SPECIAL people in a SPECIAL place.

right laugh. Still too drained to write much more.

getting pinched at the front gate was a bummer, but after that it all went swimmingly Very Happy

It was rubbish ... just like Waveform

honest it was !!!!!!!!!

You were all brianwashed ...... Wink

I`m gon next year just to see how rubbish it is n say told ya so !!!! Very Happy
