Well, Glastonbury was a good, fun and relatively dry one this year! The Plain Lazy team descended on site on Monday and proceeded to set up over the next few days with help of Glasto legends (mambo) Mark and Spencer. Once our Wendy House of Lazy was up it, as always, outshone the other stalls around us and attracted all sorts of attention, on lookers, buyers and of course the freaks!
The favourite glasto T was ‘Give Peas a Chance’ if you didn’t manage to get your tee there grab one now.
The team had a great Glasto and managed to tear ourselves away from dancing and grooving at the stand to see The Specials, Fleet Foxes, Q-Tip, The Streets, Blur, La Roux and many many more! For a little hint of what we saw check out the playlist on the Plain Lazy Glasto Play list blog.
What were you’re highlights? Did you go? Did you stay in? We want to know!!! We might even have a little reward for those of you who missed it and stayed in bed instead?!
Photos are yet to come so check out the blog early next week for some pics.

Lowri Davies (Plain Lazy team member) came second in a extreme kayaking race at Extremsportveko in Voss, Norway last week.
“I was pretty stoked, as I beat lots of world class paddlers and several locals to get the podium position. The race was on a section of the Brandseth river which has lots of drops, slides and waterfalls and the event saw its share of carnage, but none too serious! Extremsportveko is a big extreme sports festival which bring the best of sky diving, kayaking, climbing, mountain biking, paragliding, hanggliding, base jumping, skiing, rafting, longboarding and much more all together in one place. Every evening a video montge of the day’s sports is shown then a big party with lots of cool bands. It was loads of fun and I hope to come back again next year! Maybe you would like to see a video from the event?

Plain Lazy News…
We are all at Glastonbury this weekend (woohoo heard from around the office) so Plain Lazy will be run from a field, covered in mud, drinking beer for breakfast, like it was in the beginning. We’ll give you a roundup of what and who we saw, who fell in the mud, who embarrassed themselves, what tees the festival revellers liked and most importantly who was the laziest stall worker.
And over to our couch for some more of this week’s news…..
Caps are out and going quickly so get them while you can. There are also new boxer shorts online to look out for, which once worn will mean that everyone will want to have a look at your pants – and maybe even want to get in them.
As a little tease for you all, look out for denim in September, we’ve created some amazing new jeans that we’re sure you’ll go crazy over.
Lazy Tips and Tricks…
Check out our blog for tips on a successful festival.
If it doesn’t rain at a festival you go to this year and you’ve got your wellington boot with you, fill them with beer and use as oversized plastic glass!
If it does rain at the festival you are at, share your waterproof with a member of the opposite sex, sharing body heat, helping you to get close to them and giving you the opportunity to impress them with your wit/music knowledge/chivalry (delete as appropriate).
Things to do this weekend.
Come and visit us at Glastonbury! If you haven’t got your ticket and are desperate to go to a festival of sorts, why not replace it with the Aldborough Festival – a cacophony of classical music and farmers in North Yorkshire…
Otherwise show your support for the Armed Forces this weekend.
The first Armed Forces Day is 27 June 2009, and is an opportunity for the nation to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community
For more details head over to The Armed Forces Website.

Plain Lazy have teamed up with The Adventurists to give away a free place on their Africa Rally.
If you always had the sneaking suspicion that Christmas wasn’t for you, this is your chance to step away from the turkey wielding sock yielder that is your great Aunt, climb into your rusty steed and head south to the Sahara.
We can’t promise you any Christmas pudding, but we are giving away a free place on this here adventure-soaked adventure.
The beast of a rally launches on 13th December and most teams take between 3 and 4 weeks to get to Cameroon, depending on how they cope when they inevitably find themselves in a spot of bother. Recovery times following brown pants incidents considered, you can take on the Africa Rally with only a couple of weeks holiday tacked on to your Christmas break…
Click here to enter the competition and good luck.
Plain Lazy are going to be sponsoring the Rickshaw Run and a team from Plain Lazy are doing it in aid of the Street Childs World Cup. To donate head over here.

Go and spend some time with your Dad, it will get you off the visiting your parents hook for weeks! Buy him a drink and let him talk about the war…..
Celebrate the summer solstice on Sunday night by staying up and out as long as you can. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year - from here on out the days officially gets shorter….. We recommend a druid ceremony – using pretend sacrificial goats and virgins obviously.
If you’re not up for a bit of the old goat sacrificing then go for a bbq or check out the London to Brighton bike race – you may even see a couple of our Lazy Boys competing!
Oh yeah – the weather won’t be great this weekend unless you are down south….. but next week is all set to be a scorcher, which is great news for us as we are all off to GLASTONBURY!!! More on that next week!

We’ve got a brand spanking new range of caps in stock. In celebration of this here are some cap wearing tips.
Never wear your cap back to front, unless you are taking a photo or kissing someone goodbye – it looks daft, you are not Kris Kros.
Do wear your cap the right way round if you want to be shaded from the sun slightly, it really helps if you haven’t brought your sunnies with you and this way you get the added bonus of not getting your pretty face damaged by UV rays.
Don’t try and use your cap to catch rain water or money, the caps aren’t water proof and your busking is probably a bit wet…
