only had the one day entry myself (woohoo for sisters working in record companies :P ) but it was amazing :)
especially the extortianate pricing on. well. everything.

dave grohl (spelling? foo-fighters frontman) played the drums for the first time at reading in Thirteen year's in a Tribute to Kirt cobain (yeah, awful with names) sinner-or-winner man had given up already (youll know who i mean if youve ever been down oxford street) and i was offered a whip-round the office by my sister if i could hit kate-moss with a bottle.
(didnt try as it happens, way to far out even if she were serious)

I'm not sure that many people went, love.

For me the line up wasn't great, although damn it, I would've given my right arm to see The Pixies.

Sinner or Winner man is fantastic, though. I'm always pleased to find people who know of him, particularly as I'm not actually from London. :P

one train?
shouldve gotten a coach the day before, is what i did (then spent seven hours on a coach that stopped for an hour at nottingham. northhampton. oxford. that got old pretty quickly)

there were a lot more people than previous years (ofcourse my sisters friend got called "old and scary" at 22.
admitedly because she was listening to a band (who? i dont know.) and could remember them from when she was there age.
ya know, it may have been the foo fighters? o_O that was about eleven years ago.
