highs and lows

after reading this thread on efests i have been thinking about my time at reading festival, and mainly all the things i thought were rubbish about it.

1. LACK OF LADIES TOILETS.
by the sunday i was queueing for up to half an hour and still not anywhere near the front of the queue. i had to go out of the arena and head to yellow toilets to actually go. yes i know there are urinals but i was wearing leggings and shorts, which are not the easiest thing to go for a wee standing up in. also, all of the bloody toilets were blocked by sunday, two queues of about 10 girls for ONE toilet. no thanks.

2. CAR PARK STUPIDITY
where are the lovely helpful stewards who guide your car in for you on the thursday when you want to leave on monday?? NO WHERE. we spent 4 hours just sitting in the car park cuz there were no stewards to help prevent ridiculous queues.

3. "ANGRY MOB, ANGRY MOB"
you're not fucking angry cuz you run away from one guy and his girlfriend when there's 15 of you, so why try and bully and intimidate people? absolutely ridiculous. have fun with your friends but there's no need for violence and destruction. the state of camp on monday morning was ridiculous, i've never stayed as late as i did this year and it was just horrible, all the toilets had been destroyed (i hope people fell in when they were breaking them) and there were so many fires that were just pouring out black smoke that on the walk to the car park i couldn't stop coughing.

4. SHITTING.
omg, don't shit in bushes, thats just rough.

5. MOANING ABOUT BANDS WHEN YOU'RE QUITE FAR FORWARD
you made all the effort to get down near the front and then you moan, look around, push past people that are trying to watch. GOD. get a fucking life. the people doing this actually ruined queens of the stoneage for me, i could barely hear as it is (see no. 6), i did not need dickheads banging into me and talking in front of me and chucking drinks over me.

6. LOW MAINSTAGE SOUND
melvin benn has blamed the weather, when the weather was good and pretty much the same all weekend.all the bands on saturday and sunday were noticeably louder than any of the bands on friday and ratm were considerably louder than even qotsa, which seems stupid.

rant over.

there were lots of things i loved about reading too, but any bad stuff that happens always seems to be reallllllllly bad.
