i went to england this summer to visit my beautiful friend vicky. and we just happened to go to the largest greenfield festival in the world, GLASTONBURYYYYYY. needless to say, it. was. amazing.
we were there for 5 of the muddiest days of my life, all the tickets sold out (all 150,000 of them), and with all the festival workers and volunteers there were over 200,000 people there! there were 4,000 "porta loos" for everyone to share, but there was this wonderful invention called a sheepee that was just for women. i loved it.
so back to the music.
i saw so many awesome bands at that dairy farm turned festival---the yeah yeah yeahs, lily allen, n.e.r.d., regina spektor, the ting tings, lady gaga, franz ferdinand, cold war kids, fleet foxes, dizzee rascal [new favorite!], a bit of neil young [who ended his set with a really great beatles cover] and bruce springsteen, bon iver, metric....just to name a few [although that was a pretty long list].
but by far, my favorite part of glasto was the silent disco. it's so strange to see so many people dancing away to music that only they can hear...loved it.
anyway, here's a few of my absolute favorite pictures from that crazy/wonderful week:
oh, and i was in london for a day and half. and sheffield [where vicky's family lives] is adorable. you should go.
Sweet post! Nice use of the links in your blog. Looks better than Bonnaroo, but noooot quite as good as Woodstock.. I'd totally go!
