[madamv]

I'm a boy. How do you have a shower with a binliner?

Rain showers numpty

@Sunray and Crispy, I only roll a days worth... that wouldnt be too many would it?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I bet you're a boy

Wow, how on earth did you guess that?

Half the people I want to see are play at the same fucking time on friday night

Friday night is a real log-jam isn't it? it's a shame. after that though, there are less demands on my time so i can get on with the important business of passing out in the mud

I think I've got something like 4 or 5 clashes on Friday

Yeah, I've only highlighted CSS, broken famliy band, pidgeon detectives and the killers for saturday. I expect to be in a coma before CSS come on anyway.

I'm torn between Arcade Fire and M.I.A. on the Friday ... I LOVE AF but have seen them loads and have never seen M.I.A. ... schmeeer ....... :S

 

[Macabre]

Its bad enough the're making me choose between Modest Mouse and Gogol Bordello, but Artic Monkeys, Bjork, Hot Chip, Squarepusher, Fat Man Slim, and Four Tet Bastards

 

[tastebud]

modest mouse are pretty dull live.

think i'll go for arcade fire though, whilst i love m.i.a, i can't not see af.

 

[aqua]

I'm torn between the cider bus and brothers bar all weekend

music is merely secondary

 

[Crispy]

Print out and keep cheat sheet, with full line up, big and small map, and reminder of when to be at the cider bus. designed for A3, but probably readable at A4 print to fit.

Note, if the map prints out completely bonkers like mine just did, turn on "print as image" in the Adobe print window.

Yeah, I was going to go for Gogol, plus it lines me up for seeing Amy Winehouse straight after

 

[retribution]

On friday night it's a question of Four Tet, Squarepusher, or Fatboy Slim for me. Probably go for Fatboy slim as I haven't seen him before. Missed his set last time for a (disappointing) Chem Bros DJ set.

He's possibly the worst DJ in the world.

first post

welcome

 

[Skim]

Last time I was there I saw Fatboy Slim at Lost Vagueness and, while I'm not particularly into the music he plays, he does put on a good show.

Don't know if I'd fancy seeing him in the big dance tent, but I'm not a huge fan of that tent anyway. And Bjork's on, so I'll be indulging in some weepy fangirl action

 

[Crispy]

He's not terrible, but he's nothing special. Attend only if you want to be able to tell people that you saw him.

Personally, I quite fancy Plump DJs to finish the night off, but who knows. I;ve made about 6 commitments on the programme, an that's as far as I'll go

 

[JTG]

Saturday afternoon/evening in the G tent/D stage or whatever the hell it was in the dance village

I had consumed quite a lot of ketamine whilst reading the line up but this was what stood out

Thet'd be Freq nasty, Bong Ra and Andy C wouldn't it?
See you there
(Might pop over the way for hybrid instead of bongra though. see how we go)

Innit.

Seen MIA so Arcade Fire is my absolute must of the whole festi. Their stage presence looks awesome.

But, thats a nasty clash for sure.

I can highly recommend Vexd at 12.15

Hell yeah! Their set at Bangface was brilliant! Looking forward to seeing them again

 

[nosos]

Awesome I only just noticed catch 22 are playing

Twice

 

[nosos]

Word of caution, you get caught with too many of them you can get done for dealing.

Yeah that thought occurred to me, particularly with regards to bringing them in. A quarter prerolled into joints (particularly fairly light 24/7 smoking festie joints) looks far more then a quarter in one bag. How much do you think is too much to carry at once during the day?

 

[nosos]

Twice

Really!????

(and I'm seeing them two days later - 3 x King Blues in < a week)

That's made my week.

Bit subjective. I'll probably roll 5 or 6 in my tent and smoke them when its I'm watching something and cant easily skin up.

Raaa! Bong fucking Ra!

I'd better not be working at the time

Got my stewarding pack today, I finally feel like I'm going to Glasto
