Some Facebook Tales...
When I went to Glastonbury last weekend, me and my friend Sophie witnessed a man dressed as what I can only assume was a yeti. It lent itself well to the costume that he must have been close to seven foot tall, and it was a very warm day and this was one VERY hairy and wholly insulating costume. Me and Sophie decided that it was only right that we go up behind him and give him a big hug. We lingered for about 10 seconds to make sure we got some good huggage. No words were exchanged but he really didn't seem all that surprised. - Lauren Thacker 2009
Had a good one at beat herder, a guy was dressed as a fortune telling booth (photos to follow from james) he undrew the curtains from in front of his face and told me the winning lottery numbers (which i've now forgotten) and not to take the next job i found. he also had a rather fetching crystal ball - Ali Campbell 2009
A memorable encounter for me was at Glastonbury last year. A group of about 10 young guys had all bought identical (not too unpleasant) fancy dress costumes and were walking through the festival in a generally jovial manner. There wasn't a greata deal ofperformance occurring, other than synchronisied beer drinking. However, it was the choice of costume in the context of a field and their general ambling gait that made the vision so memoroble and enjoyable. They were al dressed as cows. The general herd like behaviour of men drinking beer at a festival was acknowledged and amplified. Deborah 2009 - Urban Angels Circus
Every year (for the past 3 anyway) at the big chill there have been a group of mates (about 15) who turn up as an ensemble and maraude around the festival site all hours under the sun and moon!this year all but one was dressed up as a leopard and just one of them was dressed up as a zebra...occasionally you would spota large group of leopards in the distance inevitably chasing the zebra!partied pretty hard with those guys on the last night and apparently big chill pay for their costumes,makeup and tickets and they just turn up and have a good time - they're not even a company or anything, good stuff!I'll search youtube and photo forums to see if I can find anything...
