My Time at T
Me and a group of my friends left at 5am to head to Kinross, we hoped to beat the traffic which was quite quiet at this time :) we did however underestimate the amount of stuff we would be taking and therefore the car was a bit of a squash!
We arrived the queue wasn’t bad and by lunch time we were building the tent which I had already tried in my back garden, shame I hadn't paid more attention when got my little brother to do it because I stood in the rain for nearly an hour fighting with the poles, eventually the tent got built and I apologised for having waved the poles in my friends faced in the threatening manner when they didn't help!
The weekend from here became a blur of amazing music and a great laugh with friends. We all started off trying to look our best but quickly realised it was impossible and got really into the camping life :) The only thing that I didn't enjoy was toilets they really weren't great after hundreds of people had used them however they were ok in the morning after being cleaned and the ones in the arena have stewards and were much cleaner :)
Here are a few of my favourite performances...
My group had a great a laugh over the weekend and when we weren't enjoying the music we were laughing at each over for example a friend was sitting on one the arm of the chairs in the tent as we didn’t have enough seats and the arm broke leaving her lying on the floor was all very funny and the time.
The best bit was all the people we meet and how at T almost everyone is friends however I don’t think my friend will ever want to be friends with the drunk guy who threw the pint over her while she was sitting waiting for black eyed peas to come on ( I am very sorry I laughed ).
The drive home involved a stop for what felt like the best mcds ever and a shower when I arrived home at 3am, after my mum said I stank :(

Citizen T
With 70,000 campers in 2010 a few rules have been introduced the people who organise TITP are hopeful it will make the campsite feel more like a community:
1. THIS IS OUR FESTIVAL
We pledge allegiance to T in the Park and believe in being good citizens.
2. BIN IT
Rubbish belongs in the bin. We’ll make sure it gets there.
3. A TENT IS FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR T
We’ll take it home and re-use it
4. EVERYBODY NEEDS GOOD NEIGHBOURS
We pledge to look after each other
5. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE T COMMUNITY
Festival staff are here to help. Have fun but stay safe.

Pre-order drink :)
Its now only 246 days to go till TTIP 2010!
That means in 246 days you will be carrying loads of stuff to the campsite, thinking you’re never going to get there. Fancy making your load a little lighter? You can pre-order your cans of Tennants :), this means you don't have to carry them, just bring your ID and the receipt. There is a pick up point on the campsite; it is usually near the lockers and phone chargers.
You need to do this a few weeks in advance on the Tennants website!
