Is anyone planning on staying sober enough to return home with a nice bootleg for those of us who cannot go? <_<

Think about your friends here&#33; You can go without alcohol (and a few illicit substances) for the weekend :P ......we would all be very grateful&#33;

check the http://www.thamestrains.co.uk/ site. there are major track repais in the reading area so you might have problems.

nah, i&#39;m clear, i was a bit worried when i heard about lack of trains to reading during the festival a few weeks ago, but that&#39;s a different line, anyway, i live so close to reading i could always get a lift, or the bus or something

[sum_sicko]

make sure u take ur own beer, a fucking pint over there is like £3-4 quid

and a tent , a nice one, bare bog roll throwing, but thats the fun of it :lol:

When we went to Reading a couple of years back we found that the need for clean clothing, food, sleep (and therefore a tent) etc. was inversely proportional to the amount of beer and illicit substances we took with us. So if you&#39;ve got a big enough cache, you can forget about the rest&#33; It should make packing less stressful.

I would bring a couple hundred of those 1 inch "glow sticks". They sell like crazy at concerts and raves, and you can easily double your money for them. Can you say free tickets? :)

That is true&#33; My friends and I have done that before, and it doesn&#39;t take much time at all, and your pockets are full of CA&#036;H :)

Those thin ones which go around the neck are popular too - and they come in a rainbow of colors.

You will be VERY happy if you do&#33; Selling them things at any eveing/night concert is like taking candy from a baby.
