Astonbury (Recap)

Let me start by apologizing for my drunk blogging yesterday. The atmosphere was just overwhelming! In summary the two acts I saw - The Hoosiers and Mr Hudson were spot on! I missed some of the other acts either due to rain or to queues.

The longest queues were definitely in Einies where there were about ten bar staff that were being pressed by the alcohol thirsty mob! Still, I have to say that having mind the ratio bartender to student/customer was much in the latter's advantage I was served quite quickly each time. The food this year was yet again spot on. My mate reportedly had six burgers in the time we spent on the festival site.

The stage was more or less the same as last year. It still seemed quite impressive in the evening. Having in mind we were not on the lake but in front of the guild I expected many problems with space-less-ness and fountain-diving. None such occurred. One of the highlights of the evening was the closing DJ set that really got the blood pumping!

In the end there is nothing more to say than good work Aston Guild (but please make it on the lake next time).
