I was there in '09 and it was chaos, everyone seemed more concerned about drugs and burning tents down every night. Genuinely horrendous experience

Im sure some people were there for music and a good time but that isn't my memory of it

Took my tent home and didnt shit for 5 days so dont look at me....

OK, apparently I was reading Reading like reading. I didn't realize Reading festival was a thing, I thought it was reading festival, and I was like, "A bunch of book nerds did THAT?! That's so unlike us." and then I realized I was reading Reading wrong. The drugs was what tipped me off.

You should have guessed because the video is past tents.

Take your upvote and don't tell anyone where you got it, punning like that. Disgusting behavior.
