Boomtown 2012

[Callie]

Im hoping for a bit of perseid meteor action over the Boomtown weekend. I might go dressed as a comet for the space theme

 

[Termite Man]

I'm thinking this for the space theme

 

[ddraig]

anyone know or reckon when we get to know who's playing at what time?
when we get there and get a prog or anytime before?
ta

 

[Callie]

There must be a vague programme at some point before hand I would have thought?

Ou est la mayor?

 

[gosub]

Tickets arrived, and having been offered 2 guest passes earlier this week

 

[Sunray]

Programs were posted up on a board by the info point last year. I think a program was a few quid.

 

[ddraig]

ta, will buy when we get there just wondering on advanced logistics of seeing acts

is it fully open on Thursday? 4 nights and days of music?

 

[stuff_it]

You can hire out a locker with a phone charger, tempting.

They are tiny, about 10cm tall - you would only get your phone and wallet in. I will probably hide my good coat in the car in case it gets chilly and take a crappier phone with a longer battery life.... in act if the battery is working I will be taking my 3310.

No big acts on Thursday, and most likely still some last-minute hammering and drilling in places, but it's open all night and there's certainly a party going on.

cheers crispy

 

[ddraig]

next q!
who's going up on the thursday? or the friday?

 

[Crispy]

Everyone I know is going on Thursday

 

[Callie]

Yep ill be going on the Thursday, early as i can be arsed to because I want to scout the place out. I might have space in my car for one or at a push two from south Londonish if anyone requires. It would mean putting up with my driving and music taste

If I end up getting a ticket for this, I'll just take a handful of cheapo spare batteries for my Samsung. Problem solved!

what time is earlyish, I am working Thursday morning but I finish about 11ish so if thats not too late for you I could travel to south london to meet you.

 

[Callie]

That sounds reasonable Mr man. It'll be a fine balance between too early and early. Middayish sounds reasonable

 

[Crispy]

Got one spare coach ticket, London St.Pancras 10am on thursday, returning monday. £20.

 

[ruffneck23]

looks like im going to be working at boomtown, so see you there

Arcadia were heading to the site yesterday... Upgraded spider incoming

 

[strange-fish]

Is anyone going from the Manchester area on Weds - son and mate are working and need a lift. They are willing to get train somewhere to be met if that would help - not London though - too expensive!!! thanks

 

[RaverDrew]

So Snoop Dogg has made an album with Major Lazer and changed his name to Snoop Lion... please say he's the secret headliner at Boomtown, that would be truly amazing !!!​

 

[editor]

They ain't 'alf messing me about with the press passes.

 

[sim667]

Hmmm has everyone got their tickets now? I don't seem to have any, I've been away for 9 days

 

[sim667]

Mine for glade were done through a pr company, when I emailed general information they didn't have a clue. They only came through about 3 days before, could this be a similar situation?

They wouldn't be able to handle the numbers. As soon as word got about, everyone would rush the main stage, and it just doesn't have the capacity. So it's fun that snoop's made a dub record, but I doubt he'll be at Boomtown.

I would offer to eat my hat, but it's made of plastic and spray-painted silver, so probably doesn't taste too good.

[pesh]
