Saturday, June 28, 2009 Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival Hospitality Campgrounds 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat, again. It's even worse today than it was yesterday.

Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system.

The hooliganism, rain, militaristic security measures and overall filth make the festival seem like three days in a maximum-security prison. Don't mistake it for a concert film, because most of the bands are seen in snippets, lest...
