Fuck, looks like I finally meet up with the editor guy but I’m fucking knackered and just want to get some kip. Fucking hell aging.
He stopped messaging so I have too. Just sitting down to watch the rest of Deerhunter and looking forward to the Muzak set from Arctic Monkeys which will undoubtedly upset the haircut brigade.
I hope Deerhunter are as good as they were at Primavera.
Kept falling asleep so went back to the tent. Arctic Monkeys were fine but I just need some kip. Will keep my phone on noisy, but half tempted to just ignore any calls as I’m fucking shattered.
Had a waffle with Nutella and banana on the way back though and that was delicious
Please just submit this thread as your review of the festival.
Spent ages trying to find my tent in the dark because they all look the same and I only just bought it.
As I got out of the toilet (one of those Dutch ones with a little shelf that presents your poo before you flush) I bumped into the editor guy. Shook his hand by instinct, then realised I had just forced him to shake hands with someone who had just stepped out of a portaloo.
I forgot how comfortable Dutch people are with nudity so the shower area was like a tin of hotdogs.
Thought I’d be clever and find a cafe off site to have breakfast at so there weren’t massive queues. Walked 2km there and it was closed. Found another one another 2km further, am on my way and hoping that one is open.
Proper farming villages and I’m wearing a T shirt which says I want to fuck the whole world up.
It’s fine.
This is fab! Enjoy today and keep posting!
I found the cafe, and they don’t serve tap water, only bottled so I’m not having any out of principle. I have had three coffees and an underwhelming veggie burger though.
Finished up the (very boringly written) review and now gonna head back to the festival site.
Have just realised that my print out of today’s schedule has fallen out of my pocket. This is annoying.

Writing it down here while I still have the laptop out and can use it as my guide. Probably be asleep by the end of The National.
Just looked at my receipt. I asked if the veggie burger came with fries, she said yes. I have been charged for fries.
I bored myself writing my bits of this, but there you go.
I came back in a different way and now I don’t know where I am. There is a Spar here that sells donuts. I’m gonna buy a donut.
Guy in front of me bought a plain donut. What a wrongun.
